Is Your Child Facing Criminal Charges in California? I’m Here to Protect Their Future.

When a child is charged with a crime, it can be a frightening and overwhelming experience for both the child and their family. In California, the juvenile justice system is designed to rehabilitate rather than punish, but the consequences of a conviction can still be severe, including detention, probation, and a permanent record that could impact future opportunities. As an experienced juvenile defense attorney, I’m committed to protecting your child’s rights and future, providing a strong defense, and guiding you through every step of the legal process.

What I Offer:

• Expertise in California Juvenile Law: California’s juvenile justice system operates differently from the adult criminal system, with its own set of laws, procedures, and goals. I have extensive experience navigating these unique aspects of juvenile cases, including understanding how the court views rehabilitation, the role of probation officers, and the options for diversion programs that can keep your child out of the system.

• Defending Against a Range of Juvenile Charges: I handle a wide variety of juvenile cases, including:

  • Theft and Property Crimes: Whether your child is accused of shoplifting, burglary, or vandalism, I’ll work to challenge the evidence, explore alternatives to detention, and aim for a resolution that minimizes the impact on their future.
  • Drug Offenses: If your child is facing charges related to drug possession or distribution, I’ll advocate for treatment and education-focused alternatives rather than punitive measures, helping them avoid a criminal record.
  • Violent Crimes: Even in serious cases involving assault, robbery, or weapons charges, I’ll build a defense that emphasizes your child’s potential for rehabilitation, working to reduce charges and avoid a transfer to adult court.
  • School-Related Incidents: If your child has been accused of a crime on school grounds, such as fighting or drug possession, I’ll navigate the complexities of both the juvenile and school disciplinary systems, protecting their educational rights as well as their legal rights.

• Challenging the Evidence and Procedures: Juvenile cases often involve questionable evidence, mistaken identity, or procedural errors, such as improper interrogation tactics or lack of parental notification. I’ll carefully examine the details of your child’s case, looking for any violations of their rights and challenging the prosecution’s evidence.

• Pursuing Rehabilitation and Diversion: The juvenile system emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. I’ll advocate for your child to be placed in diversion programs, counseling, or community service, which can lead to the dismissal of charges and avoid a lasting criminal record.

• Protecting Your Child’s Future: A juvenile conviction can have long-lasting effects, including impacting college admissions, employment opportunities, and more. I’m dedicated to protecting your child’s future by seeking the best possible outcome, including the potential for sealing or expunging their juvenile record.

Why Choose Me?
