When Can a Juvenile Be Tried as an Adult in California?

There are circumstances when a juvenile can be charged as an adult. If a juvenile is charged with a crime—such as murder or vehicular manslaughter—or has prior convictions, he or she may be tried as an adult depending on their age. When a juvenile is facing adult charges, the court system and the consequences of a conviction can have a very serious effect on juveniles and their families. John Noonan has extensive experience in the federal, state, and juvenile court systems. He is a vigorous advocate for minors whose futures are at stake because of arrests for alleged juvenile offenses.
