Georgia Juvenile Crime Law

Georgia’s juvenile criminal laws apply to “delinquent children under the age of 17 and deprived or unruly children under the age of 18.” That being said, the juvenile criminal court system is a completely separate system from the criminal system that governs adults, and has its own set of laws, courts, personnel, and procedures. It’s important to hire an attorney like John Rutkowksi who has successfully navigated, defended, and obtained winning verdicts in juvenile court.
