Juvenile Cases We Handle
At Stephen G. Rodriguez & Partners, our Los Angeles juvenile crime lawyers are experienced at defending the rights, freedoms, and futures of young people accused of crimes. With decades of combined defense experience, our legal team is prepared to handle the full range of juvenile cases, including even the most serious allegations involving sex crimes or violent offenses.
- Sex Crimes – Sex crime charges are among the most serious allegations a person can face, and they have the potential to tarnish reputations and threaten futures. Examples of the types of sex crime juvenile cases our firm can handles include those involving child abuse, sexual assault, date rape, statutory rape, internet sex crimes, child pornography or sexting, and others.
- Violent Crimes – Violent crimes are punishable by severe criminal penalties, including lengthy terms of confinement in the Division of Juvenile Justice (formerly known as CYA - a state prison for minors). In certain situations, minors facing violent crime allegations may also be charged as adults. Violent crimes include charges such as battery, assault, robbery, manslaughter / vehicular manslaughter, and murder, among others.
Aside from representing minors charged with sex crimes and violent crimes, our legal team also handles other common juvenile cases:
