Juvenile Offenders in Las Vegas

Juvenile Offenses Committed in Southern Nevada

There are many differences between how juveniles are tried for criminal offenses in Las Vegas compared to adults who are prosecuted for the same crimes. It is crucial to retain an attorney experienced in the Nevada juvenile law system to protect the rights of your child.

Sentences for Juvenile offenders can include:

• Probation
• Home Detention
• Detention
• in Juvenile Facility
• Youth Camps
• Boot Camps

When a juvenile offender commits certain crimes, it is likely that the prosecutor may attempt to have the case transferred to the adult court.

If the prosecutor is successful, the juvenile will be tried as an adult, and if convicted, will serve the same sentence an adult would receive for the same crime. It is important that your defense attorney be experienced in these procedures and how to defend against such motions.
