Skilled San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney
Adult and juvenile cases require an attorney with experience in the juvenile justice and adult criminal justice systems. Juveniles can be tried as adults in criminal court if they are age 14 or older and have committed a serious or violent crime. Juveniles are also subject to California's Three Strikes law, which can send an offender to prison for 25 years to life after a third strike.
At the law office of Richard F. Arroyo, I have the experience and knowledge to represent minors and adults in court. Because the goal of the juvenile and adult systems is rehabilitation, I also work with probation officers, mental health professionals and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. I can represent clients charged with the following offenses:
- DUI — I provide representation to individuals who have been charged with or arrested for drunk driving, including individuals facing an alcohol offense who are under the legal drinking age of 21.
- Drug crimes — I represent adults and juveniles in a range of drug crimes, including drug possession. The punishments often vary according to the type of drug and amount found.
- Gang crimes — California takes gang offenses very seriously. You need an experienced defense attorney to defend against these charges.
- Theft — Theft charges range from shoplifting to robbery. I can provide defense against all charges.
- Sex crimes — From molestation to statutory rape to Internet sex crimes, these charges require help from a tough, experienced attorney.
- Weapons charges — Even if the weapon is not used in a crime, a weapons charge can have real consequences. Contact my office for help.
- School crimes — Schools react harshly to threats and violence. Protect your child's future by getting a knowledgeable lawyer.
- Traffic tickets - It is possible to fight traffic violations, including speeding tickets, with the help of an experienced attorney.
- Vandalism and graffiti crimes — If associated with a gang offense or hate crime, vandalism can be charged as a felony. Don't try to fight this charge alone.
- Domestic violence — Juveniles are often involved in domestic violence cases with boyfriends or girlfriends. I can help. I am a knowledgeable San Diego domestic abuse attorney who handles cases for adults as well as juveniles.
- Child abuse — Worried about losing your parental rights? I represent parents charged with child abuse and neglect.
