Kids will be kids, but sometimes things go too far. If your child under the age of 18 is accused of violating the law, he or she may be faced with legal proceedings. Though a violation isn’t called a crime but a “delinquent act,” juvenile court proceedings are serious. 

Your child’s delinquent act may affect his or her immediate and long term future. It could mean loss of their drivers’ license, limited job opportunities, or adverse decisions in college admissions and military service.

That’s not all. The juvenile justice system is different than adult criminal proceedings. Youths don’t have the right to a public trial or trial by jury. Hearings are heard by judges. That is why our experience over the last 40 plus years getting to know the juvenile court system and the judges in Butler, Hamilton, Preble, Warren and Clermont Counties will work to your advantage.
