San Diego Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorney
With the rise in school violence and shootings, most schools employ a zero-tolerance policy for violence and weapons. Many schools have police officers on campus. Officers and other school officials generally can search any student for any reason. They are allowed to question students at school without first calling the parents.
If your child has been charged with a crime at school, you need an attorney. School crimes are serious offenses and can negatively affect your child's future. At the law office of Richard F. Arroyo, I defend juveniles against all school crime charges. I have extensive experience with the juvenile justice system. To make an appointment, please call 619-370-9074 today.
A San Diego School Crimes Attorney Fighting for You
I can defend your child against any criminal charge on school grounds, including:
- Weapons possession
- Vandalism
- Theft (purses, lockers, classrooms, gyms, golf carts)
- Drug crimes, including drug possession (meth, Ecstasy, marijuana, prescription drugs)
- Assaults and fighting
- Bombs and terrorist threats
- Gang-related activity
In addition to suspension or expulsion from school, a true finding in a juvenile case for any of these crimes may result in detention in juvenile hall. School districts have lawyers and the state of California has an entire justice system. Your child needs an attorney on his or her side.
As with all juvenile crimes, I will argue for alternative sentencing, probation and, if necessary, rehabilitation for drug or alcohol problems. My goal is to keep clients out of juvenile hall and avoid any negative long-term consequences.
If your child was found with a weapon at school or is charged with drug possession, please call 619-370-9074 or contact us online for a free consultation with me, a Chula Vista school crimes attorney. I also handle adult crimes as well as juvenile offenses.
