Juvenile Law

Juvenile law is a branch of criminal law that deals with minors who have been accused of breaking the law. In most states, a juvenile is defined as a person who is under the age of 18. When a minor is charged with a crime, he or she will usually be tried in juvenile court. If the minor is found guilty, he or she may be placed on probation, ordered to pay a fine, or required to perform community service. In some cases, the minor may be placed in a juvenile detention center.

In Johnson County, minors can be tried as adults if they are accused of certain serious crimes. These crimes include murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated battery. The decision to try a minor as an adult is made by a judge after considering the child’s age, the severity of the crime, and the child’s criminal history. If the child is found guilty in adult court, he or she may be sentenced to prison.

If your child has been accused of a crime, it is important to contact one of our criminal lawyers as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the juvenile justice system and protect your child’s rights.
