Noonan, has extensive experience defending juveniles and is committed to making a difference in the lives of young people charged with juvenile crimes.

  • Underage drinking charges
  • Minor in possession (MIP)

  • Drug possession
  • Theft and property crimes, such as shoplifting and vandalism (graffiti)
  • Illegal firearms and weapons charges
  • Assault
  • Sex crimes
  • Statutory rape

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.
