A Juvenile Crime Is Handled Differently

Perhaps one of the most marked differences between the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems is this: juveniles do not have the right to a jury trial. The judge will hear all arguments, evidence, and witness statements in a trial shorter than adult trials. Pleasanton juvenile crimes attorney John W. Noonan has extensive experience defending juveniles and is committed to making a difference in the lives of young people charged with a juvenile crime. Our firm represents individuals charged with juvenile crimes such as:

• Underage drinking
• Minor in possession (MIP)
• Drinking and driving (DUI)
• Drug possession
• Theft and property crimes, such as shoplifting and vandalism (graffiti)
• Illegal firearms and weapons charges
• Assault
• Sex crimes
• Statutory rape
• School suspension

When a Juvenile Is Tried as an Adult

There are circumstances when a juvenile can be charged as an adult. If a juvenile is charged with a crime such as murder, vehicular manslaughter, or has prior convictions, he or she may be tried as an adult depending on age. When a juvenile is facing adult charges, the court system and consequences of a conviction can have a very serious effect on juveniles and their families. John W. Noonan has extensive experience in the federal, state, and juvenile court systems. He is a vigorous advocate for juveniles whose futures are at stake because of an alleged juvenile crime.
