Juvenile Defense FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

  • Questions

  • My child was arrested. Will he/she be put in jail?

    Answer

    Because juvenile cases are handled differently, penalties typically will not involve jail. A juvenile may be faced with more serious penalties if the case is handled in adult court.

  • What types of violations trigger a juvenile arrest?

    Answer

    Each state recognizes different types of violations as a juvenile offense. These can include things like curfew, truancy, liquor-related offenses, drug-related offenses, theft, and more.

  • What age is considered to be juvenile?

    Answer

    Every state has different eligibility criterion, but most states recognize the maximum age for juvenile court as 18. Others can recognize 16 or 17 years, or as old as 19 years.

  • What is the difference between juvenile and criminal court?

    Answer

    The juvenile system is much different than an adult criminal court, and therefore, the procedures are very different as well. Speak with an attorney to learn what to expect in your case.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Plea Agreement

    If a case remains in juvenile court, the minor can enter a plea agreement. This is usually based on the condition that the juvenile attend counseling or other alternatives.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Judge Diversion

    If a judge chooses to divert a case, the minor will need to complete a court-approved program. Failure to do so could force the court to reinstate the charges.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Adjudicatory Hearings

    Also known as a juvenile trial, a judge will determine if the juvenile is delinquent (has violated criminal law). A judge will determine the penalties if the juvenile is ruled delinquent.
