Juvenile Charges
Juvenile Courts Are Not Easy
here's why you need help
- Juvenile Courts are Private
Unlike criminal charges for adults, there are not open hearings, and the charges and results of the proceedings are not public. Grant it, you will still have to contend with neighborhood and school gossip, but you can depend on there being no formal, public announcement of the charges.
- Juveniles are NOT entitled to a jury. A judge will decide their guilt or innocence
Experience and familiarity with the juvenile court judges and how they view the juvenile correction system can make a huge difference in your case. The best criminal defense lawyer in all of Atlanta may not know a thing about the juvenile justice system; make sure the lawyer you hire has experience that fits your needs.
- Juveniles can be Tried as Adults
Juvenile defense lawyers play a critical role in the legal system, particularly when it comes to the complex issue of juveniles being charged as adults. In certain circumstances, based on the severity of the crime or the age of the juvenile, they can be subject to adult criminal charges. This can have significant consequences, as being tried as an adult can result in harsher penalties and a permanent criminal record.
Your Side of the Story Matters.
I understand that anyone, and especially someone who is under the age of 18, can get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a result, what should have been a future story about a youthful mistake turns into a formal criminal charge. The Georgia Juvenile Justice System then decides if, and what type of punishment your child will be subject to. It can feel both overwhelming and incredibly high stakes as a parent. Having a calm, knowledgeable advocate on your side can make a huge difference not just in managing the process, but also getting the best possible result.
