California's Juvenile Crime Laws
In the state of California, children under the age of 18 are not processed in the same court as adults, except in certain circumstances. Often, a minor is issued a citation for their offense, requiring them to appear in court later. They are arrested and taken to a juvenile detention center if the offense is more severe. This way, minors are separated from adults while awaiting their sentencing.
Juveniles are also treated differently when it comes to trials and sentencing. Many California laws reduce sentencing for minors regarding certain crimes. There are some circumstances, however, where a minor could be tried and sentenced as an adult, such as in cases of murder (Pen. Code § 190.5) or many aggravated or violent crimes.

"Previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding."
This was the first time I had ever been involved in any situation like this. I had spoken with a few lawyers before heading to Sawl Law Group. The previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding.
They took immediate ownership of the problem at hand. This problem had wrecked havoc on my life by draining my time and my finances. Sawl Law Group was affordable and handled the case so I wasn’t required to miss work and physically be present. I would highly recommend Sawl Law Group to friends, family and anyone who needs a tough lawyer to receive justice.
