Most criminal defense lawyers primarily handle adult cases and lack the experience and skill to defend children in juvenile court. Unlike Pasadena adult court, there is no right to bail and no right to a jury at the Pasadena Juvenile Court. The rules are significantly different. For these reasons, getting an experienced juvenile defense attorney is not only important but critical.

Mr. Kita's office is conveniently located 1055 E. Colorado Blvd., 5th Floor, Pasadena, California 91106. Mr. Kita is a former Juvenile Prosecutor and is available to offer a free consultation to discuss your case seven days a week. Call us at (626) 975-2080. We can help your child today.
