Juvenile Defense

Being charged with a criminal offense as a juvenile can be very hard and emotionally taxing. If you are under the age of 18, chances are that you will be tried in a juvenile court. In the worst case scenario, some courts seek to try juveniles as adults. In order to avoid this situation it is imperative that you find the right attorney.

I have handled many juvenile cases throughout my 27 years of experience. I understand how rough it can be to go through any legal proceedings; I was young once and I have children of my own. The goal with minors is to fight for alternative sentencing, such as rehabilitation and other forms of treatment. It is also possible to dismiss and/or seal a juvenile record so that he will not have to have a conviction hanging over his head for the rest of his life. Most juveniles respond best to rehabilitation and other forms of treatment; they are given the opportunity to learn, instead of being punished as an adult.

The juvenile cases that I have handled include (but are not limited to): theft, robbery, underage drinking and/or smoking, various drug crimes, vandalism, motor vehicle offenses and more. You do not want a criminal record to ruin your chances at a successful future, so it is important to retain the proper help immediately.

Financial Concerns

As a resident of Orange County, I understand that each and every one of my clients is a unique and individual case. Furthermore, I know that the cost of attorney services can be a large concern for many people. In order to ease some of the financial stress of my clients, I offer free case consultations. In these consultations I will personally review the case in order to determine the best course of action for the client. I am willing to work with many different income levels, and will discuss payments accordingly.

Why Choose Barney B. Gibbs?

There are many criminal defense attorneys to choose from in the Orange County area, so why choose me to handle your juvenile case?

When dealing with a juvenile criminal offense, you need someone who will fight for your rights with enthusiasm, knowledge and integrity. You need someone who will stand in your corner and exercise assertive behavior when dealing with the demands of the court. I understand the importance of being prepared. With 27 years of experience, I am not afraid to fight for you in situations that most attorneys refuse to deal with, and I recognize the difference between each court house in Orange County, and I have known many of the judges and prosecutors for years.
