If a juvenile commits a serious offense, will they be charged as an adult?

criminal defense attorney Washtenaw County

We have all heard the science behind the idea that young people’s brains take years to develop, often times into their early-20’s.  That fact—coupled with concepts like peer pressure, hormones and substance abuse---often leads young people to commit foolish crimes and end up in Michigan’s Criminal Justice System.  Unfortunately, if a juvenile commits a serious offense, they might find themselves staring down a very scary adult prison sentence (not to mention a felony adult conviction that will haunt them for the rest of their lives).

Geherin Law Group, PLLC. has defended thousands of criminal cases in Ann Arbor and throughout Southeastern Michigan for young adult and juvenile offenders. Firm founder Daniel T. Geherin is a former prosecutor and board-certified criminal trial attorney who has been practicing law for 25+ years.
