In the criminal justice system, defense attorneys interact heavily with clients' families. This interaction becomes even more important and consistent when the client is a juvenile. If your son or daughter was arrested or charged with a crime, you can turn to the defense attorneys of Bellon & Maningo with confidence. The lawyers communicate openly and honestly with both the juvenile as well as his or her parents. This open, honest communication can foster favorable results.
The law firm provides juvenile defense services for:
- Battery and domestic violence

If the juvenile is charged with murder, kidnapping, robbery or certain types of sex crimes, he or she will be certified as an adult.
In many cases, the judge will lean toward rehabilitation. However, if there has been a violent crime, there is a punitive element that will be involved. The law firm consistently strives to limit juveniles' time in custody and get them into rehabilitation programs.
Penalties for juvenile crimes can range from "boot camps" to adult detention centers to probation.
