Ventura Juvenile Crime Defense Attorney

Juvenile Criminal Defense Lawyer in Ventura County, California

Children, teens and young adults are impressionable. Many minors are subject to peer pressure at school and when with their friends on an almost daily basis. A minor may also look up to an adult or authority figure that negatively influences the minor's decisions. When a minor under the age of 18 commits a criminal offense, this is referred to as a juvenile crime and that minor will face legal consequences in juvenile court.

If your child has been arrested and is facing criminal charges, you will need an experienced juvenile criminal defense attorney on your side as soon as possible. At the Law Offices of Richard Sudar, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your child's case and to make a determination as to how we can help. It is important that we become involved immediately, as we may be able to have your child's charges dropped or case dismissed before it reaches juvenile court.

Another important preventative measure that only a skilled defense lawyer can provide is to help ensure that the minor does not get tried as an adult. While this does not occur frequently in juvenile crime cases, it is a possible occurrence for older children who have been arrested for serious violent felonies. Trial as an adult means that your child will face prosecution in adult court and will be sentenced as an adult would.
