HAVE YOU BEEN ACCUSED OF:

Juvenile Crime

Before hiring a juvenile criminal defense attorney to handle your child’s case there are many critical issues that you must consider. You, as the parent, must understand there are many differences between the adult and juvenile criminal justice systems. The two most significant differences are a juvenile is not allowed to be released on bail and they are not entitled to a trial by jury. In juvenile criminal court cases, a Judge or Commissioner is the sole person to determine the guilt or innocence of your child. Aside from these and many other differences between adult and juvenile criminal cases you need to hire a knowledgeable and experienced juvenile defense lawyer.

LibertyBell law firm’s team of juvenile court attorneys are intimately familiar with the inner workings of the juvenile criminal justice and will provide your child with the best defense possible with the ultimate goal of either getting charges dismissed or getting your child into a rehabilitation program instead of placement in juvenile hall, juvenile camp, the Youth Authority, or adult court.

Laws have become much tougher in prosecuting juveniles for their alleged crimes. Additionally, Judges and Commissioners are feeling the public pressure to become tougher in their handling of juvenile criminal cases which can range from serious crimes such as aggravated assault, burglary, robbery, rape and murder to other minor offenses. Some criminal laws that juveniles may feel are targeting them include simple assault, vandalism, weapons law violations, drug abuse violations, driving under the influence, liquor law violations, drunkenness, disorderly conduct, curfew violations, loitering and even running away. At an earlier time, the objective with juvenile offenders was to place them in rehabilitation or at home under their parents’ supervision. Removal from the home was an option of last resort reserved for serious violent criminals.

Times have changed. Lawmakers throughout the country have been under pressure to take juvenile offenses more seriously and to punish them more harshly especially those involved in gang activity, drugs, sex or violent crimes. Crimes that were once charged as misdemeanors such as vandalism, petty theft, and shoplifting are now being charged as felonies. In California, Proposition 21 allows the district attorney to file particular juvenile criminal cases in adult court, (which can be a disaster or a blessing depending on the circumstances). In fact, the common practice is for the district attorney to file a fitness hearing as a matter of routine for certain charges. A fitness hearing is a request made to the juvenile court to have your son or daughter removed from the juvenile court and placed into adult court, where they may risk being sent to prison to do time with adult inmates.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:
Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub.

    

I hired Gina and her team for my son who was facing 10 years for something they said he did when he was 17 years old. Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub. She did not stop. She fought hard and was able to defend the charges. We are so grateful to her and her team. They gave us our son. He recovered his life!

Best defense lawyers in the country.

    

I hired this law firm in 2014 for my son who was facing 16 years in prison for a felony robbery. Lina Helou answered all our questions. I was extremely distraught regarding what my son was facing but Lina comforted me and told me that it would be okay. And thank goodness LibertyBell saved my son from going to jail and they were able to obtain only 3 years of probation. I could not have hired a better law firm for my son and if you want the best defense call LibertyBell Law Group. Thank God for this great group of lawyers.

– V. J.
A great team of lawyers.

    

I do not have enough words to describe how incredible the experience with this firm was. They work very hard to make sure you have winning results. I could not have asked for better service from the moment I called, until my case was over. I was glad I made the right choice. Thank you again LibertyBell Law Group!

She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence.

    

My father had found this group through his company and coworkers. I was assigned Gina Tennen and I cannot explain in just a review on how gratefull I am to be working with her. My case was an accusation of unlawful sex. This had looked extremely bad on my part since I was in a fraternity and she was in a sorority. During these times with Greek life, there are too many bad stigmas surrounding these organizations. Gina had believed in me and knew that I was innocent and that these accusations just were not true. She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence. I totally recommend this law group because they are willing to put in the work to help your situation.

Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding.

    

When I first heard I was under a criminal investigation, I initially thought I would try and resolve this in the best way possible, without legal representation, as we were all interested in a "just" outcome. I quickly discovered that was not the case and contacted Gina at Liberty Bell. She clearly described the expectations and the choices available to me. She was always available to me, and when I called, if she couldn't talk with me at that time, she would quickly get back to me. Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding. Her fee's were stipulated up front, as well as what those fees covered and what they did not.

– S. B.
Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one.

    

Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one putting pressure on the sherrif's office to get things handled. With Child molestation accusatinos being thrown around Gina and Attorney Castro were great at keeping the pressure on and had no charges filled. The DCFS indications were appealed and we won with flying colors. Great service, great work, and will use again for all legal matters.

Will Recommend, Total Experience, Awesome Team

    

Being involved in legal matters can be scary. When researching who to put my trust in, I came across Liberty and I am glad that I did. From the first time that I met with Gina and her team she made me feel comfortable and listened to all that I had to say. She assured me that her team would be on it and that they would do everything that they could! A little while in, Alan took over my case. When meeting with him you can tell that this is his passion and I immediately knew he was going to do everything in his power to make the outcome right! He was relentless and worked day and night working on the case. He kept in constant communication with me and truly cared not only about me but about my family as well. I am forever grateful for the support that this whole team has given me and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for truly the best lawyers!
