Juvenile Matters
Juvenile Matters encompass legal issues specifically concerning minors, typically under the age of 18, within the legal system. These matters often include juvenile delinquency cases where minors are accused of committing offenses that would be considered crimes if committed by adults. The focus in these cases is on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to address underlying issues and guide youthful offenders toward positive behavior and development. Additionally, Juvenile Matters may involve dependency and neglect cases, where the welfare of minors is at stake due to allegations of abuse, neglect, or parental incapacity. In these sensitive proceedings, ensuring the best interests of the child are paramount, with legal advocacy aimed at securing safe and stable environments for vulnerable juveniles.
