Juvenile cases require a different approach than adult criminal cases. We prioritize rehabilitation, family involvement, and legal strategies that reduce the long-term impact on education and employment prospects.
- Assess eligibility for diversion, counseling, or informal resolution
- Seek sealing or restricted records when allowed by statute
- Advocate at adjudication and detention hearings to avoid unnecessary confinement
Parent guidance
Parents should preserve records, participate in recommended services, and follow counsel's guidance to maximize the likelihood of favorable outcomes for their child.
