Webster, P.A., we know our clients are going through one of the most difficult times of their lives. Our Seminole County criminal defense attorneys strive to provide informative and stress-free representation for clients facing juvenile crimes.
In most states, juveniles are treated legally different than adults under most circumstances. Courts tend to favor rehabilitation over punishment, but may impose harsh penalties on juveniles who are involved in serious crimes or who have previous criminal records. Age plays a factor as well, and older delinquents often face greater punishments and may even be transferred to adult court.
Juveniles who are convicted of a crime may be incarcerated in a state prison, group home, or juvenile facility. Depending on the circumstances, they may be incarcerated in a juvenile facility until they become 18 years old and then transferred to an adult state prison. Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, our Seminole County criminal defense lawyers can provide passionate defense in court.
