If your child has been accused of summary offenses or delinquent activity, you need an experienced juvenile defense attorney in Bucks County who will work aggressively to defend the charges. The Law Office of Sharif N. Abaza understands that children and teenagers sometime may make an error in judgment, fall into the wrong type of crowd or find themselves behaving out of character due to peer pressures, but that does not mean that they should be troubled and haunted by an unfortunate, youthful mistake for the rest of their lives.
As a result of these mistakes, a juvenile's life can be permanently changed, especially if the prosecutor convinces the judge to treat the juvenile as an adult. While juvenile offenders do not typically face the same penalties as adult offenders, there are certain circumstances that can affect the juvenile's status and require that they be tried as adults. For example, if there was use of deadly weapon during the crime, the juvenile will face the same criminal charges and penalties as any adult who has committed the same crime. Juvenile Court has jurisdiction over your child until the age of 21. Sharif N. Abaza is your juvenile defense attorney in Bucks County.
As an experienced juvenile defense attorney, Sharif Abaza will provide legal insight and representation to underage clients who are facing summary, misdemeanor and/or felony charges. The procedures and penalties associated with juvenile cases vary greatly from adult cases. During an adult trial, an alleged offender is determined to be innocent or guilty. During a juvenile proceeding, an alleged offender is determined to be delinquent or non-delinquent.
