Juvenile Justice System in Florida

Juvenile court has jurisdiction over crimes committed before a minor’s 18th birthday. The focus of the juvenile court system is on rehabilitation, which means first-time offenders are often eligible for pre-trial diversion programs, which include counseling, community service, restitution, and other conditions. Completion of a diversion program will lead to the dismissal of your case.

On the other hand, adult court is designed to punish, rather than rehabilitate. Children as young as 14 years of age can be tried as adults if they are accused of certain violent crimes and sex crimes (e.g. murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, etc.). A conviction in adult court will result in imprisonment.

We will be your advocate in any proceedings in the juvenile courts, but will also represent you if the court decides to send your case to the adult court.
