FAQ: What if I was accused of committing a crime as a juvenile in New Jersey? What is different about the way juvenile cases are handled?
Any person under the age of eighteen who is charged with a crime will have their matter heard in State Court, in the county where the crime allegedly occurred. A special unit of the county prosecutor’s office addresses juvenile cases and it is the only part of the criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation along with punishment. Attorneys Hartman, Chartered, represents juveniles with an emphasis on rehabilitation to help ensure that your juvenile conviction does not follow you for the rest of your life.
