HIRE A QUALIFIED CRIMINAL DEFENSE FOR JUVENILE CRIMES DEFENSE
Juvenile Crimes are Committed by Persons under 17 years
Juvenile crimes are defined as illegal acts that are committed by individuals under the age of 17 years. Often in juvenile crime cases, parents take for granted that their children, being minors, will not be subjected to severe legal penalties if convicted. However, frequently these assumptions are major mistakes. Michigan prosecutors take juvenile crimes very seriously, and often seek maximum punishments for minors who have been convicted. If a minor has committed a felony offense and is approaching the age of 17, he or she could even be charged as an adult.
