Juvenile Crimes Defense in Phoenix, Arizona
A juvenile crime is a criminal offense committed by a person under the age of 18. Minors are capable of committing the same criminal offenses as adults. When a minor is charged with a crime, it’s important for him or her to contact a criminal attorney who has experience handling juvenile crimes cases, as the laws, courts, and regulations governing juvenile crimes are different from those governing adult cases.

Phoenix criminal defense attorney Anthony Knowles has successfully defended minors charged with a vast array of juveniles crimes, such as:
Penalties for Juvenile Crimes
In the event that a minor is convicted of a crime, the state usually chooses to focus on rehabilitating the minor, as opposed to punishing him or her with time in jail. The theory behind this is that when a minor is rehabilitated or counseled, there is a better chance that he or she will not commit a crime again. This means that a minor may be required to attend counseling and/or perform community service.
However, minors with multiple criminal offenses on their record, or minors who are convicted of serious juvenile felonies, such as
rape, murder, assault with a weapon, etc, can be sentenced to much heavier penalties, such as time in jail, a juvenile detention facility, fines, and more.
It’s important to remember that a juvenile crimes conviction can affect a child’s life for years to come. Unless a conviction as been expunged, a juvenile crime will remain on a minor’s criminal record forever. Banks, educational institutions, employers, landlords, etc. will all have access to this information, as it is public record. This is why it’s so important to contact Phoenix juvenile crimes attorney Anthony Knowles.
