Family Court — Unless the Charge Is Serious

If your child or teenager has been charged with a juvenile offense in New Jersey, then the matter will most likely be heard in family court. If the crime is serious, then the case may be moved to criminal court.

That difference matters more than almost anything else in a juvenile case, and it is decided early. It is important to hire a New Jersey juvenile lawyer to handle the case.

Do Juvenile Criminal Convictions Disappear When a Juvenile Turns 18?

A juvenile criminal conviction remains on record unless the record is sealed.
