If your teen is charged as an adult
in Denver, there are things that you should know. Be sure to secure good legal representation
from V. Iyer. He is an experienced and knowledgeable juvenile defense lawyer
serving the Denver community successfully for many years.
A teen charged as an adult
is also known as a direct file. At times the State will charge a juvenile in
district court, bypassing the transfer hearing usually required to charge a teen as an adult.
This usually happens when a violent crime has been committed. In the current
system the prosecutors may file the case directly with the district court.
Usually, a teen charged as an adult
receives a suspension of prison sentence based on the completion of Colorado’s
Youthful Offender System (YOS). This rehabilitation program is based on
preparing the convicted teen to be a productive member of society in Colorado.
There are lots of idiosyncrasies in the laws in Denver and
to give your youth a fighting chance at redemption, make the decision to go
with the best juvenile defense lawyer in all of Denver, V. Iyer of Iyer Law Office.
