California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re D.C. v. D.C., A130180 (Cal. App. 2011):
In sum, we conclude that the repair estimates submitted by the victim provided substantial evidence of economic loss. (See People v. Garcia (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 1203, 1217 [billing summary of therapy charges showing the specific amount billed for each therapy session constituted substantial evidence of the amount of loss sustained by

the victim].) Thus, the restitution order entered by the trial was not an abuse of discretion. (People v. Keichler (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 1039, 1045 [no abuse of discretion where there is a "factual and rational basis for the amount of restitution ordered by the trial court"].)2
The juvenile court's order of restitution is affirmed.
