Juvenile defense attorneys represent minors facing a variety of charges ranging from status offenses like truancy to more serious allegations such as theft or assault.
Their role is to advocate for the juvenile’s rights, working to achieve outcomes that prioritize rehabilitation and minimize long-term negative impacts.
