The Law Office of Roberta Brooks • Aggressive Criminal Defense
At the Law Office of Roberta Brooks, we are familiar with the laws and procedures specific to the juvenile court. Juveniles charged with a criminal offense proceed through the justice system differently than do adults charged with similar offenses. Juvenile matters are typically heard in juvenile court, before a commissioner, referee, or judge. A minor with a case in juvenile court does not have a right to a jury trial, or a public proceeding nor does the minor have the right to bail.
Juvenile Crimes
In California, a minor who is accused of committing a crime of violence can be charged as a juvenile or as an adult. We have represented minors charged with a variety of crimes:
- Marijuana possession
- Gang violence
- Lewd and lascivious acts
- Assault and battery
- Auto theft
- Robbery
Juvenile Crime Consequences
There is a complex system in place for the punishment of juvenile offenders. Depending on age, crime, and previous history, there are multiple levels of consequences that a child may face. A juvenile might be moved throughout the system for the duration of his or her sentence:
- California Youth Authority
- Boys Ranch
- Juvenile electronic monitoring
- Home supervision
- Informal probation
- Community service
