Juvenile Attorney in Philadelphia

Juvenile law can involve a wide variety of legal circumstances or situations. Many juvenile cases fall under the umbrella of dependency. Local courts may find children dependent if they lack parents or guardians — or if their parents continually demonstrate neglect. While courts typically seek to keep families together, severe circumstances sometimes call for alternative arrangements. Ultimately, courts seek solutions according to the best interests of the child in question. 

Juvenile matters can also involve delinquency. Special court procedures allow alleged offenders of a certain age to avoid the adult criminal process. Still, navigating the juvenile justice system can prove highly stressful for both children and their parents. Strong yet compassionate legal advocacy is key every step of the way.

Juvenile law is a uniquely complicated practice area. Ideally, juvenile attorneys understand not only the intricacies of legislation in Philadelphia but also how these regulations apply to families dealing with extremely volatile and stressful circumstances. Often, attorneys work closely with both children and their parents. As such, the ability to build rapport with clients of all ages is critical. Parents need to know that their kids' future lies in capable hands — and children need a source of stability as they navigate nerve-racking legal ordeals.
