It is important to have an attorney that has experience practicing in the Juvenile Courts when your child is charged with a crime.  In Nevada the Juvenile Courts are set up to help your child, not punish him.  However, this also means that the rules of law that apply to adult cases do not apply to juvenile cases.  It is for this reason that you need an attorney that is experienced in practicing in the juvenile system representing your child.  If a child is charged with a juvenile crime, your child is not entitled to bail.  He or she may be turned over to the parents’ custody if after a detainer hearing the court decides that it must detain your child in custody.  After the petition for delinquency (Complaint in Adult Court) is filed, the case will be set for a trial date.  If a plea agreement cannot be worked out with the District Attorney prosecuting the case, the case will move to trial in front of the Judge.  In order to best help your child, it is important that he or she have a strong advocate on his or her side.  Jeffrey S.
