What To Know About Colorado’s Unique Juvenile System
The juvenile justice system is distinct from adult court. It tends to focus more on rehabilitation than punishment. The procedures and outcomes differ, aiming to steer minors back on the right path. However, serious offenses can still carry severe penalties. If a minor age 12 or older is accused of a Class 1 or 2 felony or a violent crime, Colorado may charge them as an adult. Our firm handles a range of juvenile offenses, including:
- Vandalism
- Shoplifting
- Underage drinking
- Drug offenses
- Truancy
- Assault and battery
- Disorderly conduct
We are adept at navigating these sensitive cases, always with the best interest of the young person at heart.
Protecting The Immigration Status Of Noncitizen Minors
For immigrant families, a juvenile arrest can be particularly scary. It brings the added worry of jeopardizing the child’s immigration status. It is crucial to understand that public defenders are not your only option. Securing a private criminal defense attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Our criminal law attorneys are well-versed in so-called crimmigration matters. We combine our knowledge of criminal defense with immigration law to protect your child’s rights and their future in the United States.
