San Bernardino Juvenile Law
As a Prosecutor, Attorney Michael J. Holmes successfully prosecuted countless cases involving a defendant who had been through the juvenile justice system. Now, he is a Southern California Criminal Defense Attorney who successfully defends them.
In California, the juvenile law process is very different than the adult criminal law process. Juvenile crimes are referred to as "acts of delinquency" and require the California Juvenile Courts to intervene. Common juvenile crimes in San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County. include, but are not limited to:
- shoplifting
- underage drinking
- vandalism
- theft
- drug use
- gang activity
Many people do not understand the serious legal consequences associated with juvenile crimes. In the past, a counselor may have intervened after a juvenile crime took place. Now, juvenile crimes carry harsh consequences that are determined by a Southern California court of law. These consequences are so broad that they can extend not only to the child, but also the parents or guardian(s) of the child (person under the legal age of 18).
If a child is found guilty of a juvenile crime, they may be placed in a public institution, placed in foster care, placed on house arrest, or placed on probation.
