Juvenile Deliquency Defense
If your teen has been charged with a crime, contact an experienced
Sacramento juvenile defense lawyer at the Law Office of
Wraymond K.

future. Work with an attorney whose primary practice area is
defending young people accused of being juvenile delinquents.
Why Work with a Lawyer Whose
Primary Practice is Defending Juveniles?
The juvenile justice system is very different
from the adult criminal system. It has its own courts and personnel,
its own procedures, its own laws, and indeed a different purpose than
adult courts. When you work with a California attorney whose primary
practice is defending juvenile delinquency charges, such as Wraymond
Plummer, you can be confident that he understands the details of that
system and that your case will be handled right. One major difference
between the adult and the
juvenile justice system is that the juvenile system is looking for
opportunities to set a young person back on the right track through
rehabilitation, not punishment. Before your child goes to court, contact our Sacramento law
office to discuss your situation for free. Sacramento juvenile defense
attorney Wraymond
Plummer has handled thousands of juvenile deliquency cases.
Juveniles Have Many Sentencing Options
Juvenile delinquency proceedings are not the same as adult
criminal cases. Juvenile courts were created in order to rehabilitate
young people, not punish them. Juvenile detention is often considered a
last resort imposed only when less restrictive alternatives, such as
community based options, counseling, or social service programs are not
appropriate. This allows juvenile defense lawyer Wraymond Plummer to
work closely with parents and their children to find and advocate for
options that will work best in your situation.
Even if your son or daughter did make a mistake, we want to
help protect their record. In many cases, your son or daughter may be
entitled to have his or her charges conditionally dismissed, the arrest
deemed never to have occurred, or any juvenile records sealed. (Welfare
and Institutions Code § 790, 793, 781 [note
that not all charges are eligible for conditional dismissal, Deferred
Entry of Judgment or record sealing]). In fact, most Juvenile Court
proceedings are not considered "criminal proceedings," and any proven
misconduct is not deemed a "conviction of a crime for any purpose."
(Welfare and Institutions Code § 203).
Sealing Your Juvenile Record
Once you reach the age of 18, we can usually help you expunge
and seal your juvenile record so you can move on with your life.
