Santa Rosa County Juvenile Delinquency Defense Lawyer
For years, I served clients as a court-appointed attorney in juvenile delinquency cases. These cases often involve accusations of violence or drug or alcohol abuse. Children who engage in harassing or threatening behavior, often referred to as bullying, may find themselves in juvenile delinquency proceedings. Regardless of how a child ends up in the juvenile justice system, it is important to have someone with the knowledge and skill to help him or her navigate the courts successfully. The goal of the system is to rehabilitate children who have made mistakes. The system is not meant to punish, but it can still disrupt your child's life and lead to significant restrictions.
Child Dependency Actions in Florida
In addition to representing children in delinquency actions, I help parents in dependency cases. If you are facing the prospect of having your children removed and placed in the care of a shelter, you need strong legal guidance. If your child has been adjudicated dependent, you must take specific actions to protect your parental rights and demonstrate that you are a fit parent. I can represent you at every stage of the juvenile dependency process. From allegations of child abuse to cases involving substance abuse or other problems, I can help you address your legal problems.
