Is there a difference between juvenile law and adult law? There certainly is. It is important to have a Boise Criminal Attorney experienced in juvenile law handle any case against your minor child that is brought before a court of law. There is no jury in juvenile court and so the fate of your child is in the hands of the judge. If is extremely important to approach the judge in juvenile court with respect and with an attitude of responsibility and desire for change.
Juvenile Court, while it is a court of law and while attorneys are involved, is in someways more lenient that an adult court. For example, a juvenile court's aim is to protect and direct a juvenile rather than punish them. The court will instruct your minor child on learning what is right and what is wrong and the importance of making good decisions. This having been said, it is still important to have counsel protect the rights of your minor son or daughter. Whether they have been charged with drug possession, minor DUI or any other juvenile crime you need to have a lawyer who has been through juvenile court and understands how it works. It is critical that your child's rights be protected on all levels, especially considering they don't have the opportunity for a jury trial.
One very important thing to keep in mind about juvenile court is that your minor child could have their probation extended until they reach 21, however, they will be eligible for automatic expungement of their record once they have served their sentence.
