Experienced California Juvenile Defense Attorney

Once a juvenile is arrested in California, a court must decide whether the child will be detained in juvenile hall or allowed to go home. If the child is allowed to go home, he or she may face home confinement or other restrictions. If your child has been arrested, you need a skilled and aggressive attorney like Correen Ferrentino on the case. She can answer your questions about the juvenile court process, advocate on your child's behalf at hearings, and get your child back home where he or she belongs.

Juvenile law cases move quickly. Therefore, you need a lawyer who is able to respond quickly and vigorously defend your child against delinquency charges. Many people are under the misconception that a juvenile case conviction disappears from your record when you turn 18. It is important to note that, in fact, the conviction doesn't disappear for many purposes. For example, if your child is 16 and has been charged with a California strike offense, it will stay on your child's record forever. To prevent a childish mistake from affecting your child for the rest of his or her life, you need a skilled attorney who can have the charges against your child reduced or dropped. In her 13-plus years of experience, Attorney Correen Ferrentino has gotten many juvenile charges dismissed through skilled and aggressive advocacy.

If your child has been accused of any type of juvenile crime, including drug and alcohol crimes, shoplifting, vandalism, assault, burglary, gang crimes, or sex crimes, Correen Ferrentino can help. Unlike many attorneys, she has significant experience in dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues, and realizes that juvenile crime is often related to underlying issues like drug or alcohol dependence, or conditions like attention-deficit disorder (ADD) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Her contacts with mental health professionals and treatment programs can get your child the help he or she needs, and her vigorous legal representation will prevent permanent damage to your child's reputation.
