If the offense committed as a juvenile was sufficiently serious, it is possible that the juvenile court would still have jurisdiction over the offense, and in some cases it might be possible for the charge to be waived to and tried in adult court. If the person has learned that charges were filed or are pending, he should consult a criminal defense lawyer.
