Juvenile Crimes

The Juvenile justice system in California operates with the primary goal of rehabilitation rather than punishment of youthful offenders.  However, there can be serious and lasting consequences as a result of criminal activity even as a juvenile.  Parents can lose their parental rights and even be held liable in some circumstances for the crimes their child has committed.  If a crime is serious enough, the District Attorney may attempt to move the case to adult court to have the juvenile treated as an adult.  Other offenses can qualify under California’s Three Strikes law, or require gang, drug, or sex offender registration.

The Juvenile Justice system is extremely complicated, and requires an attorney who is particularly knowledgeable in the intricacies and nuances that separate the Juvenile and adult systems.  Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorney Graham Donath has handled hundreds of juvenile court criminal cases and has the experience to provide the superior representation that truly protects your child in their time of need.  If you, your child, or a family member has been charged with a juvenile crime in Riverside, Los Angeles, or Orange County, contact the Law Offices of Graham Donath for superior representation that gets results.
