Lawrenceville Juvenile Crime Lawyer

Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville, GA

According to Georgia criminal law, all cases involving defendants age 18 or younger are typically handled in juvenile court. In Georgia, juvenile crimes are broken up into different categories including deprivation cases, unruly cases and delinquency cases. Typically the penalties for juvenile crimes are not as severe as they would be in a regular criminal court. However, there are some cases where juveniles commit "designated felony acts," which carry aggravated punishments. Juvenile crimes are not to be taken lightly. In certain cases where a minor is charged with a violent felony crime, they could be tried as adult. In juvenile crime cases like this, the case is prosecuted in the Superior Court. If a case is heard in juvenile court, there will be no jury trial, the case is only heard by a judge.
