In Arizona, minors can be charged with the same crimes as adults, but they are handled very differently in Juvenile Court.  Although the range of consequences is very different than adult cases, there are still significant possible penalties, including incarceration in juvenile jail or even the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections until a child’s 18th birthday.  In some cases, the State will try to move juvenile cases to Superior Court and prosecute a child as an adult – which can be catastrophic.  This is a scary and stressful experience for both the juvenile and any parent or guardian.  How these cases are handled and resolved can have a lasting impact on a child for the rest of their lives.

Juvenile cases have nuances and complexities that should be handled not just by an experienced attorney, but one who specifically has experience with juvenile cases.  The lawyers at BC Law Group have handled countless juvenile cases for the defense and the prosecution, and they know how to navigate these waters better than anyone in Arizona.  If a child you care about is facing juvenile charges, call BC Law Group for a free consultation, and the best juvenile representation available.
