San Diego Juvenile Crimes Lawyer

Attorney Helping Those Charged with Juvenile Crimes in San Diego

All too often, parents and minors make the mistake of assuming that juvenile crimes are not so serious.  People blindly assume that because minors committed the criminal offenses, they will not be subjected to harsh legal penalties if they are convicted by the San Diego courts.  Yet, the fact of the matter is that the state of California has tough juvenile crime laws and sentencing guidelines.  Additionally, if juveniles (people below the legal adult age) commit felony offenses or are close to the age of 18, they can be charged and tried as adults.  This means that instead of having to pay fines or go to juvenile detention centers, minors could be ordered to serve time in prison.

With the laws being so strict and the sentencing guidelines leaving next-to-no room for flexibility, it is important that young adults and their parents work with a San Diego criminal defense attorney that has handled prior juvenile crimes cases, like Attorney Aaron T. Hicks.  If juveniles do not have reliable legal representation and an aggressive lawyer fighting to protect their best interests, their lives can be destroyed.  For many, that is a tragedy as juveniles are so young and have many years ahead of them.

The Law Offices of Aaron T. Hicks understands the laws surrounding juvenile offenses and knows that the best strategy is to work with law enforcement and prosecutors to get minors' charges reduced.  This is especially an important tactic when minors have been charged with felonies or are facing the possibility of being tried as adults.  By working with the Law Offices of Aaron T. Hicks, both parents and juveniles can rest assured that their cases are being handled by a litigator that is committed, results-driven and understanding of their needs.
