While it is understood that certain acts such as theft, robbery, assault, murder, etc. are obviously against the law, juveniles are also subject to additional laws such as truancy laws and curfew laws.
Did You know Juvenile suspects have rights that must be protected?
A warning to the wise: Rights of the accused Juvenile:
If you find yourself in a situation involving law enforcement, it is extremely important to remember the following:
1. You do not have to submit to a search unless you have actually been placed under arrest. If the police ask you for permission to search - respectfully decline. 2. Do not resist arrest. 3. Do not volunteer any information. 4. Do not answer any questions other than your name, address and phone number. 5. Call your parents immediately. 6. Insist that your parents and an attorney be present before answering any questions. 7. Do not discuss your case with anyone other than your attorney.
Most importantly, be sure you are represented by an accomplished and knowledgeable juvenile criminal defense attorney. Never attempt to represent yourself in court. Your rights must be protected even though you are a "juvenile".

Juvenile Offense Facts |
The California Juvenile Court System handles cases concerning juveniles. Juveniles may be picked up by the police either for "delinquency" (committing a crime) or a "status offense" -- an age-related offense such as truancy. If a child over 14 commits a very serious offense, the court will hold a "fitness hearing" to decide whether the child should be treated as an adult and tried in the adult criminal court system. |
|
The Juvenile Court system has five steps: 1) filing of petition 2) referral to intake 3) fitness hearing for serious crimes 4) adjudication and 5) disposition. The potential penalties can be severe; a child under age 16 can be incarcerated until age 21, and a child over 16 until age 25. Juvenile defendants have the right to a lawyer but no right to bail or to a jury trial. It is important to obtain qualified criminal defense attorneys as soon as possible to obtain the best results under the particular facts and law in your case. |

The juvenile criminal process is unique and there is a separate court system for accused juvenile offenders. There are also different categories of juvenile offenders which include:
Different Categories of Juvenile Offenders
Criminal Offenders and Juveniles remanded to superior court:
These categories are for offenders that have committed crimes that, if they were adults, would be criminal. These are crimes such as drug or specified marijuana crimes, robbery, theft, assault, shoplifting, etc. Juveniles who have committed more serious crimes such as rape, arson, murder, may be transferred to the adult court system to be tried as an adult.
Informal Probationers and Status Offenders:
These categories are for offenders who have committed less serious crimes or crimes such as truancy, breaking curfew or incorrigibility and, if they were over the age of majority, would not be considered illegal.
"The System"
Under the juvenile court system, a judge will hear the case and pass sentence.
In serious cases, the court may hold a "fitness hearing" to determine whether or not the case will be transferred to superior court where you may be tried as an adult.
During this initial phase, it is crucial that you have an attorney present who knows and understands the juvenile justice system that may convince a judge that the accused should remain under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
The Moore Law Firm employs an assertive defense and may work to reduce or dismiss the charges against your child, or in the alternative, works to negotiate a favorable plea-bargain.
If your case remains in juvenile court, you will have an opportunity to enter a plea or proceed to an adjudication hearing (trial). Your trial consists of a judge only - there is no opportunity for a jury trial. If, after a trial, a judge concludes that the charges are true, the accused is sentenced.
In many cases, a conviction will not automatically lead detention in a juvenile facility. There are many forms of alternative sentencing that may be available to you.The Moore Law Firm Lawyers maintain the knowledge and experience to build a winning defense in court. We will make sure that alternative sentencing options are presented to the judge.
Juvenile courts are very different from adult courts.
Juvenile courts have separate rules and procedures from adult criminal courts
Juvenile courts are very different from adult courts. When a juvenile commits a crime, they are said to be "delinquent" and the juvenile court gets involved to intervene and correct the delinquency.Depending on the severity of the crime, the juvenile may be placed in juvenile detention. Even truancy, or repeated absence from school, is a juvenile crime that carries consequences. Facing the future against police accusations, prosecutors, and probation monitoring can be difficult.
In your Juvenile Court case, you want a committed, qualified Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorneys.
Sometimes juvenile crimes arise as a result of challenges at school.When you retain our law firm for your Santa Clara County Juvenile Defense Lawyer, we will fight to obtain special services for your student-client so your child can succeed in school and positively affect the juvenile court case. The term "youthful offender" is more appropriate than the term juvenile delinquent. We may use a private investigator to assist in developing the defense case. Additonally, we may use a forensic psychologist as well as a neuropsychologist as expert witnesses. These are important tools we employ as your Santa Clara County Juvenile Defense Attorneys.
Juvenile courts have separate rules and procedures from adult criminal courts. For example, juveniles are not entitled to a jury trial, but rather are tried before a judge. If a juvenile commits a more violent crime such as murder, the prosecutor may seek to have the juvenile tried as an adult. Because of the special rules and circumstances surrounding juvenile crimes, it is important to obtain private legal counsel.Moore Law Firm believes in the "rehabilitation" of youthful offenders and not punishment of our client.
As your Los Gatos Juvenile Delinquent Defense Attorneys at Moore Law Firm, we can help protect your child's rights to get the best legal result possible. If your child is arrested or investigated for a juvenile crime, contact us as your Los Gatos Juvenile Court Defense Attorneys at 408 298 2000, so that we can help.
When a young person is accused of a crime or is being investigated, it is a painful, stressful time for everyone in the family, the juvenile, the parents, the siblings, and the grandparents. There is the fear that the police, prosecutors, and judges will not treat the young person as a child that has simply used youthful poor judgment and made a mistake.
Although the juvenile court system was originally created to rehabilitate and not punish youthful offenders, the harsh laws that have recently been enacted have diminished that mission statement. Children as young as twelve are now being detained by the police and questioned without their parents or an attorney present.
The "Three Strikes Law" has been held to apply to juvenile convictions or adjudications. Therefore, your child needs an advocate and a guide through this system to prevent their adult lives from being adversely affected.
Protecting the Rights and Freedom of young people
At Moore Law Firm a Northern California Law Firm, our juvenile crime lawyers protect the rights and freedom of young people, negotiating with the appropriate authorities to try to prevent the child from being treated as an adult. If necessary, we then represent the child in juvenile court, where a juvenile can still be held in custody until they reach adulthood. In fact, some juvenile crimes are treated more harshly than if the crime had been committed by an adult.
At every stage of a juvenile case, we aggressively, compassionately represent our young clients; applying our decades of experience to find creative ways to solve problems.
If necessary, counselors assess the client and determine reasons for a certain behavior. We always approach the authorities with rehabilitation options, attempting to avoid detention. We also use other strategies learned from years of criminal defense practice to mitigate sentencing.

Difference Between the Juvenile and Adult Justice Systems. California's juvenile justice system is different from the state's adult justice system. This is because society recognizes that many juveniles need to be treated differently from adults. Generally, the juvenile system emphasizes treatment and rehabilitation, while the adult system concentrates on punishment of offenders. The juvenile justice system also consists of a large number of nonlaw enforcement agencies. Social services agencies, schools, and community-based organizations all provide services to both juveniles "at-risk" of committing crimes and to juveniles who have committed crimes.

Findings:
In its simplest definition, "crime" is any specific act prohibited by law for which society has provided a formally sanctioned punishment. This also can include the failure of a person to perform an act specifically required by law.
Types of Offenses. Crimes, whether committed by adults or juveniles, are classified by the seriousness of the offenses as follows:
Many types of crimes in California can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor (known as a "wobbler"), or as either a misdemeanor or an infraction.
Juveniles, like adults, can be charged with a felony, a misdemeanor, or an infraction. However, as we discuss later, juveniles can also be charged with offenses that are unique to youth.
Categories of Crimes. In general, felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions fall into one of three broad categories: violent, property, and drug-related. Violent crimes refer to events such as homicide, rape, and assault that result in an injury to a person.
Property crimes are offenses with the intent of gaining property through the use or threat of force against a person. Burglary and motor vehicle theft are examples.
Drug-related crimes, such as possession or sale of illegal narcotics, are generally in a separate category altogether. This is because such offenses do not fall under the definition of either violent or property offenses.
The Juvenile Justice System Is Different. The juvenile justice system has evolved over the years based on the premise that juveniles are different from adults and juveniles who commit criminal acts generally should be treated differently from adults. Separate courts, detention facilities, rules, procedures, and laws were created for juveniles with the intent to protect their welfare and rehabilitate them, while protecting public safety.
Under certain circumstances, youthful offenders can be tried either as juveniles or as adults. But even in these situations, their treatment is different from that of adults. For example, a juvenile who is arrested for an "adult" offense can be adjudicated in either juvenile court or adult court; if convicted, he or she can be incarcerated in either a county or state correctional facility or left in the community; and if incarcerated, he or she can be placed with either other juveniles or adults. In contrast, an adult charged with the same offense would be tried in an adult court; if convicted, he or she would be incarcerated by the state and would be housed with adults.
Legal Categories of Juvenile Offenders. Juvenile offenders are generally placed in one of four legal categories depending primarily on the seriousness of the offense committed (see page 6). Two of these categories ("criminal offenders" and "juveniles remanded to superior court") are for juveniles who have committed adult-like crimes. The other categories ("informal probationers" and "status offenders") are for youth who have committed less serious offenses or offenses unique to juveniles, like curfew violations

The 10 big reasons you should call us after your child is accused or arrested for a Criminal Offense.
1. You must take the matter seriously.
This is a charge that could seriously affect your life, if you are convicted.
a criminal conviction for this offense can involve a lengthy criminal record, stiff probation terms and restrictions and jail or prison sentences. Relationships can be destroyed. Family issues of all kinds can be implicated. Restraining Orders, programs, and probation terms can impose dramatic restructuring of your personal life and activities with relations. Sometimes the charges are "over-charged" and the risk and penalties should be countered to avoid suffering more than necessary from the incident. Frequently there are two sides to the story but without capable legal assistance you may find that only one side, the other side of the accuser, is really given serious consideration by the court. Too many people find out too late that once the police and the prosecutors get involved these cases do not just go away even if the complainant spouse or cohabatant really don't want to press charges. Expect to find that you face an aggressive serious prosecution with the objective of making you a convicted criminal. You want to avoid an unecessary criminal conviction if possible.
2. Not hiring an attorney is foolish.
The law is complex and you need competent representation. You must raise the right defenses at the right time or you will lose them. Facts will disappear, memories fade and witnesses vanish. A winnable case can quickly become a loser. What should you do? You need legal advice and fast. You want an attorney who knows how to handle your case.
3. We are not the cheapest but you may be suprised to find you can afford a good experienced lawyer to help you..
The State has almost unlimited resources when it comes to your case. You need to hire an attorney and pay a fee which will allow them to put time and effort into your case to counter the prosecution. Attorneys must earn enough in the time they spend on your case. . If you go too low, your attorney will probably not be able to put in the time necessary to protect you. Look for a lawyer worth spending dollars with , not the lowest. Paying the highest fees does not, of course, assure you are getting the best lawyer; However, selecting your lawyer based primarily on the money the lawyer or law firm charges can be a serious mistake. Generally you are best advised to get the best lawyer you can afford. You may be surprised to find that you can get a good experienced lawyer to help you for a fee that you can afford. It is always a good idea to consider the cost and benifits, as well as the risks and benefits of getting the best legal help you can.
4. You need to be ready to fight the charged crimes .
If you are not prepared to contest the charges and allegations made against you it could mean that you could find yourself convicted of more serious crimes than it had to be. If you do not present yourself in a position to fight the accusations, the opportunities to negotiate or defend against the prosecution are seriously diminished. This is a serious criminal offense justifying a serious defense.
5. You may want us to help you stay out of jail and possibly avoid bail, or fight increase in bail or court orders that can disrupt your daily life, relationsips, and freedoms.
After the arrest, even if you have been released the conditions and terms of your release can be changed by the court. Prosecutors can ask for increased bail, or ask the judge to put you in jail even before kyou are found guilty. Judges can order you to be restrained from contact with others, including family. No drinking and other lifestyle restrictions come as a surprise to the unwary. You may have to post a $ bail bond just to get out of jail.
6. WeDo Not Assume the Case Can't be Won.
Assuming that the case can't be won is the number one biggest mistake that you can make in facing a Criminal arrest and charge. It may be that your case may be so difficult or problematic that you may choose against a Jury Trial, but this decision should never be made in the blind. You would be amazed at the potential array of defenses available and the results that were initially unforeseeable, which ended without a Criminal conviction or Jail and other punishments.
7. You want us to find out if the Law, police procedures and Legal Rules were followed.
Evidence or statements can be attacked when it is discovered that the rules were not followed properly. California has detailed rules and case law which require how these matters must be handled.One mistake can be crucial in the defense. "Mistakes" mean unreliability and sometimes unlawful police conduct.. Expert review of the situation can reveal defenses and is well worth the effort given the seriousness of the consequences. One classic example is the violation of the Miranda advisement of your right to an attorney before giving a statement. Was the police investigation legal? Can they prove lawful probable cause? Was the arrest legal? Did you know that they have to prove this, if you demand it? Why would anyone plead guilty to this crime without looking at the evidence upon which the case stands? Find a lawyer that has experience in successfully challenging the evidence,the arrest, or the alleged confessions and statements and find out if you may avoid a conviction.
8. You will want our help when you are standing in the Courtroom; We can appear with you and sometimes can appear for you.
Do not go through the nightmare of standing alone in a courtroom against a criminal prosecution. Get help from exerienced Court lawyers that will confidently represent your interests. Many people are surprised that for some cases you may never have to appear: your lawyer can do it for you.
9. You want to give us your side of the story right away.
Anything you say to anyone but your lawyers can be used against you. When you discuss your arrest with friends or family, you risk turning them into involuntary witnesses against you. It is in your best interest to remember the details of your arrest. It will help you in your defense. In any criminal case, you should be represented by a competent defense lawyer. You either choose the right lawyer or risk the consequences of representing yourself. By hiring an our law firm immediately following your arrest or citation, you won't miss deadlines or lose momentum in preparing your defense.
10. Your initial interview is Free. It costs nothing to talk with us and find out that we are the one you want to help you.
If at all possible you need to have an attorney go to Court with you. Who that lawyer is, and the experience and qualifications of your lawyer is your choice. Make your best choice and give yourself the best protection you can.
