Law Enforcement / Prosecution

Law enforcement and prosecutors recognize that without intervention, young offenders become seasoned criminals as they get older. For that reason, law enforcement dedicates time and resources to investigating and arresting children. Children who are brought before juvenile court (between the ages of 10 to 17) are also not held to the same standards as adults. Once arrested, that child has no right to bail or a jury trial. Their fate lies in the hands of a judge. Children are poor advocates for themselves. They rarely possess the ability to select the proper juvenile attorney or assist in choosing a wise defense strategy. They are also often scared and traumatized by a difficult childhood and the fear of the unknown criminal process that lies ahead of them. In order to ensure they are protected under the law, these children require a juvenile lawyer.
