Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

My 16 year old son was accused of robbvery 1, he continues to say he didn't do it, and pushed for a trial, after monthss, the DA made a few offers, my son refused them, finally the DA offer was to cop to a rob3,get YO status, and she be ready to come home Nov 1st bcz he's been sitting in JUV.Res. Center for six months, this concludes his violation of probation. Now, as of yesterday I go to court(supreme) the lawyer says, my sons case has to go back to family court, bcz a rob3 is not held in this court. My concern is going back to Family court in front of a judge he had twice before,will not be good. Can this judge give him time? I know in family court there is no jury, only a judge. How is this beneficial or worse?

You need to actually present all these facts to an experienced criminal attorney, especially one experienced in juvenile offenses. Without knowing the facts of the case I would say discuss this with his attorney or get him one right away.
