Let an Experienced Indianapolis Juvenile Law Attorney Protect Your Child
One thing that we can all remember from our youth is that children make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes break the law. Many attorneys stay away from juvenile law, but the attorneys at Razumich & Associates understand that juveniles deserve to have tough representation just like adults.
Juvenile Defendants Have the Same Rights as Adult Defendants
Although juvenile cases are officially civil (rather than criminal) cases, a juvenile defendant is still entitled to due process, just like an adult. Much like an adult defendant, a juvenile accused of breaking the law has the following rights:
The only right that a juvenile doesn’t have that an adult defendant does is the right to a Jury Trial. Juvenile cases are considered to be confidential, and all contested hearings are in front of a judge, only.
Proper Representation Has a Major Impact on a Juvenile’s Future
Juvenile cases are designed to act in the best interests of the child, and focus on rehabilitation more than on punishment. Many times, proper intervention will prevent a juvenile defendant from becoming further involved in the criminal justice system and will put them back on the right track.
