Depending on the circumstances of the case, minor children aged 18 and younger can still be tried as adults in Virginia. The punishment for being tried as an adult is more severe. However, any criminal trial is likely to be a difficult ordeal, especially for young people who are still in the early stages of development emotionally and mentally. As your criminal defense attorneys, our legal team will attempt to get the accusations dismissed or ensure that the child gets a juvenile court hearing instead. Being tried as a juvenile has several benefits, including less severe penalties, a focus on rehabilitation, and keeping children out of the general population in adult prisons and jails. As your legal representatives, we will endeavor to defend the juvenile’s legal rights in pursuit of the most positive outcome to their case possible.
