Can My Teen Be Tried as an Adult?
Teens under the age of 18 are treated as juveniles under New Jersey law. The juvenile system in New Jersey is more focused on rehabilitation. Therefore only a few cases end up in Juvenile Detention Centers. Many of the outcomes of juvenile criminal cases are less harsh than those for similar crimes committed by adults.
However, there are instances when the prosecution will push for a teen’s case to be transferred to the adult criminal justice system. This can occur if your child is between the age of 15 and 17 and is facing charges for a serious offense such as homicide, robbery, drug distribution, and assault.
If the prosecution is successful at having your child’s case transferred to the adult criminal justice system, your child will be tried as an adult. A conviction for their crime will mean facing harsher penalties than if they were still under the juvenile criminal justice system.
It is important to have the guidance and representation of an experienced Camden County teen criminal defense attorney. Attorney Kimberley Stuart will fight to have your teen’s charges reduced or dismissed. She will fight to prevent your teen from being tried as an adult and defend your child’s rights and freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions about Teen Criminal Defense in Camden County
In many cases, teens that have been taken into custody by law enforcement officers are released into the custody of their parents or guardians soon thereafter. However, there are instances where a teen may be detained in a juvenile detention facility. This is often done until he or she can be evaluated more fully. A judge may decide to have your teen detained if there is reason to believe that the teen poses a risk to the community or that they are not fully equipped to return to their home, school, and community.
New Jersey state laws do not permit teens to be detained in jails or prisons where adults charged or convicted of crimes are housed. They are instead detained in facilities known as Youth Detention Centers or Juvenile Detention Centers.
Yes. Your child will have a criminal record if they are charged or convicted of a crime. However, their criminal record will be sealed. This means that the details of the criminal record will not be accessible to anyone outside the court system. However, having a criminal record can still have a negative impact on the future of your child.
With the help of an experienced Camden County teen criminal defense attorney, you can have your criminal record expunged. However, your teen must meet the requirements for expungement. They must also not have committed a crime for which the records cannot be expunged.
Contact Stuart Law to consult with an experienced teen offender lawyer in Haddonfield, NJ to have your child’s case reviewed and learn whether they are eligible to have their criminal record expunged.
