Inland Empire Juvenile Crime Attorney
Juvenile Defense Lawyer in Riverside & San Bernardino County, California
Juvenile criminal defense requires specific knowledge and experience regarding the California juvenile court system. Inland Empire juvenile defense attorney Richard Sudar is qualified to defend minors in juvenile court proceedings throughout San Bernardino County and Riverside County, California.
If your child has been arrested and may be facing any type of criminal charges, it is important to consult a juvenile criminal defense lawyer in your area as soon as possible. Particularly in juvenile crime proceedings, a lawyer's early intervention may mean that your child's case may not reach juvenile court at all. This is because the arresting officer and juvenile hall intake officer have the ability to dismiss a juvenile crime case at any point in the criminal process before it reaches the courthouse.
Penalties for Juvenile Crimes in California
While the juvenile court system was created with the intent to rehabilitate juvenile offenders rather than to simply deal out punishment, in some cases a minor may be tried as an adult and thus face criminal court proceedings in adult court. Some of the penalties which are assessed for more serious juvenile crimes, such as the Division of Juvenile Justice (formerly the California Youth Authority) are harsh and dangerous for minors. Imprisonment in the Division of Juvenile Justice is the equivalent to state prison for adults and has been the subject of much controversy over the years due to dangerous conditions, injuries, suicides and deaths that have occurred over the years.
