Answer:
In Denver, if a juvenile is charged with a drug offense that can be charged as a juvenile offense, where you’d go to juvenile court and it has a whole juvenile judge, juvenile prosecutor, and all the consequences are lower, right, and it’s, it’s geared towards rehabilitation.
In Denver, if a juvenile is charged with a drug offense that can be charged as a juvenile offense, where you’d go to juvenile court and it has a whole juvenile judge, juvenile prosecutor, and all the consequences are lower, right, and it’s, it’s geared towards rehabilitation. But that juvenile could also be direct filed as an adult, so that juvenile could be facing the same consequences that an adult would be facing for those charges.
So whether your juvenile is charged as a juvenile or as an adult, in either case, you need to speak to a criminal defense attorney and you need to do it early in the case.
That’s something that we do handle. An experienced Denver drug crimes attorney can review the evidence, explain the process, and help protect your rights.
