JUVENILE COURT DEFENSE

Our Juvenile Defense Attorneys represent children facing juvenile court proceedings as well as school expulsion hearings. Our juvenile defense lawyers have represented children facing misdemeanor and felony charges. We have also been successful in convincing the prosecuting agency to allow certain crimes informally.

When a child is arrested by police, the arresting officer can cite the child for a future court date or have the child taken to the police station for finger printing, photographed, and either released to the parent or taken to a nearby juvenile hall.

In Los Angeles County, the juvenile halls are Eastlake juvenile hall, Sylmar juvenile hall and Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. The Juvenile Prosecutor has 48 hours (not including weekends, holidays, to file a juvenile petition against a detained child. If the case is not filed in a timely fashion, the court must order the child released while the case no matter how serious the charges may be.

At the initial court date known as the arraignment, the judge will set dates for further court proceedings. If the child is detained, the court also have a detention hearing also. During the detention hearing, the court will determine whether the child should be held for further court proceedings or whether to have the child released while the case is pending.

At the pretrial in Los Angeles County Juvenile Courts, the judge will have the benefit of a a preplea probation report which contains a social history of the child. This report also contains a sentencing recommendation for the court. The recommendations may range from home on probation, suitable placement, camp, or prison at DJJ otherwise known as the Department of Juvenile Justice (formerly California Youth Authority.) The report is merely a recommendation to the court.

Each stage of the juvenile court proceedings are critical. Having an experienced juvenile defense lawyer to represent your child could make a difference in the outcome of the case.
