Don’t Let Your Child Be Tried As An Adult
If your child was charged with a serious felony, the prosecution can request that he or she be tried as an adult. This means that he or she could face adult penalties. Don’t let this happen without a fight. As your lawyer, I can request a transfer hearing and work to prove that your child’s case should stay in juvenile court.
