What You Can Expect in Juvenile Court
Sex crimes cases are handled very seriously in the juvenile court system. The prosecution rarely goes easy on a child due to his or her age. This often means children are facing consequences such as jail time, sex offender registry and a lifetime of daily challenges in employment, housing and government aid options.
To best be prepared for litigation in juvenile court, you want to have a dedicated, aggressive defense attorney by your child's side. Attorney Jensen uses his courtroom experience and the assistance of experts, including child psychologists, to put forth a comprehensive defense. Our goal at all times will be to limit the criminal consequences your child is facing.
Juveniles Being Charged As Adults
Depending on the extent and nature of the alleged sex crime, your child may be tried as an adult. This would eliminate the ability to stay within the more sheltered confines of juvenile court. This would also eliminate any potential chance at sealing your child's record. If the state has mentioned this possibility, waste no time in seeking out experienced legal representation.
