He shouldn't trash Joe's rep for the defendant's obviously massive offenses for which there were no defensive actions. My husband and Joe go back five decades at least. Joe is a very intelligent and caring attorney. AVVO please consider removing that 1 star review as it is fraudulent.

On a previous case with Mr Garcia I had to do all the footwork myself. I would call and he would usually not respond to my concerns or questions except for "okay". He also missed several meetings that he guaranteed me he would be at. In my current case I am requesting for a new lawyer because he does not believe in me and has been downright rude, during the adversary hearing there were many statements that the witnesses made that were not true or they were giving their personal opinions from what that they thought rather than knowing the actual true answer so when I was put on the stand Mr Garcia hardly asked me any questions and he asked me no questions that would have helped to contradict what the witnesses said. Afterward when I asked why he didn't his response was "it wouldn't have helped anyways the judge had already made up her mind". The outcome from the hearing was horrible and I've asked Mr Garcia many times what I can and should do and he basically gave me no suggestions even when I would suggest things he would answer with vague responses such as "you can try" or "if that's what you want to do". I have reached out to him repeatedly for advice or suggestions. I just need to be pointed in the right direction and he hasn't done anything to help at all. I am extremely disappointed because I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to turn my situation around and it's very obvious that he doesn't care, He doesn't believe in me, and has made it more than obvious that he doesn't want to be on the case. He's doing the bare minimum he has to do.

To anyone who has been in search of a damn good attorney ? you can end your search rt here * rt now. Sam Martinez is hands down the best there is. I say this because majority of lawyers don't put there heart into; not just you, but the whole of you such as you and your family. It was as if he literally put his self in my shoes and his kiddos in my kiddos shoes. And he paved a way for me and my children to be a family again. When everything and every one was against me. And the evidence and or my past history w cps was piling up against me. And I saw no silver lining in my most darkest of storm clouds. God answered my prayers and blessed me with an amazing attorney Mr. Sam Martinez..He was my second attorney after a year of fighting cps. I wish he would of been my lawyer the entire time. But I was blessed to have him when I got him because he was also my criminal lawyer as well. So here him and I are in two diff court rooms all in the same day or week time frame..and I'm think n to self "no way this man understand me and my situation ?? I bet he thinks I'm a complete idiot cuz who gets there self in situations as awfully as mine was? I wasnt everything that was being said about me and he knew it..He fought for me when I couldnt for myself. All though it had been years 14 to be exact since I had a felony. The fact remained I was and or still had priors and had been down twice before when I was younger. At first the state wanted to give me twenty years for pocs w intent to deliver a little more then a gram of meth..I was floored and shocked to the core of my being. I knew probation wasnt a possibility. He diligently worked my case and after 9 months of pleadings. I signed for 5 years TDC..And while I was in county waiting to pull chain. I still had him as my family attorney in ref to my cps case. He came to see me in jail. He was my only visitor and more loyal then any blood at the time. He told me not to worry he would make sure my children were safe and to send there letters to him and he made sure they got them. He didn't have to do that but he did. He didn't have to do a lot of the things he did for me and the kids best interest but he did..He didn't have to pick up the pieces a prior attorney I had before him left behind, but he did! But here's the part that wrote his name on the tablet of my heart and the hearts of my kids..He hand wrote me short letters to every unit I was transferred to while in TDC..Who does that these days? Who in the middle of there day stops and sais " hey how are you hope all is well and this is what's going on out here but don't worry etc etc etc" nobody does that, , but Sam did and that's why hes the best. He don't half ass you to death. He don't sugar coat things cuz he just wants to get paid. He gets paid way more in blessings then any dollar amount set on any table any day of the week. Because his heart is right and hes an attorney for the people. I did 7 months on that 5 and got out and we went back at it w CPS in family court. They wanted to take my rights but he didn't let them. He did what no other lawyer could do and was court appointed at that. He fought against the state because he knew in his heart of hearts what they were trying to do and it wasnt right. Sam is a winner and he made sure as my lawyer that I was and a winner too..If it wasn't for him I would still be in prison and I would not be with my kids. He is a wonderful person and the best attorney you could ever have. I have more respect for this man then he will ever know. And I will be thanking him until my last breath. The state striped me down to a naked I couldn't fathom. Sam, wasnt having it and he went to batt for me and he will for you too! Just be honest and I promise you that you won't be disappointed by retaining him as your lawyer. Sam if your reading this please know I will never forget you and my kids said "thanks for giving them there Mama back"
God Bless You and your Family AlwaysS huh Shannon Hudson Torrez

He repesented my son in a murder trial in McLennan county. Never questioned on witness, was not present when the district attorneys prosecuting the case came to talk to my son at the county jail. Lied to my son and our entire family for 2 years stating if my son would plead guilty he would only be convicted of making a false statement and tampering with evidence. If not, he would get a life sentence. He coerced my son who has a learning disability into pleading guilty to show taking responsibility for what happened. My son had no previous felony convictions.
Two other men were also charged in the same crime. One was a sexual offender and had previously served time in TDCJ. Needless to say, my son did receive a life sentence and the other two received 20 years. I truly do not know how he sleeps at night!!

I never received a letter of notice from him. He would never return a call or meet with me except just a minute before a hearing then would not discuss my defense. Case went to trial and he threw me to the wolves. He didnt call any witnesses nor did he have a defense planned for my case.

Since I gave some fairly confusing directives on the phone rather than driving in to the office, I expected a few mistakes in the first draft. But all my dealings with Mr. Williams and his secretary have been quite pleasant in difficult circumstances. His fees were more than reasonable. I was very satisfied with everything.

Mr. Williams was hired to write a will, a physician directive, medical and durable power of attorney. The first draft was completed 10 days after the deadline. I was asked to come to office and sign it. When I requested the drafts be emailed to me for review, I was met with reluctance on the part of the secretary. After 3 days, I received the drafts. There were numerous grammar and punctuation errors. In addition, the language was poorly constructed. An example: I asked to have a clause included that would direct a physician to withhold intravenous or other methods of nutrient delivery if I was in a non-recoverable state. The language in the document was as follows: "after 14 days food is to be discontinued." There were other examples of poorly constructed sentences. I informed Mr. William's secretary that I would be terminating my association with Mr. Williams, and had hired another attorney.

I am very glad that I went to see Pamela Walker to have my will drawn up. She was very kind to me, explained everything very well, and the whole process was easy. I had been putting off having a will made for sometime, but Pamela Walker made this a pleasant experience. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a really great attorney who takes the time to explain things. Top rated A#1 in my book.

I paid this so called attorney $100.00 for what ended up being the worst experience with someone who is suppose to be on your side . This is what happened that day...November 25, 2013...My fifteen year old son and I arrived at Pamela A Walker's Law Office located in Granbury, Texas in hopes that she would help in a matter which concerned another county worker in which he had suddenly and abruptly thrown me and my son out of his office because I was trying to get him to explain "Teen Court" which my son had agreed to participate in as his punishment for smoking a cigar on school ground's with two others on the last day of school 2013, but only after being subtly coerced by several county officials days previously in a make shift county court. Upon arriving at Mrs. Walker's office, I came to observe her husband was her secretary. While sitting waiting for our appointment I over heard Mrs. Walker talking to a Judge from the county and worried that he may not like what she was wearing when she was to appear in court in front of him that evening. She seemed to be trying her best to appease the Judge. Soon Mrs. Walker came from behind the wall dividing us and ushered my son and I into her office. Immediately Mrs. Walker attempted to focus all her attention on my son and convince him to "do", as she put it, "Teen Court". When I tried to explain why I hired her she abruptly told me I was being "confrontational". Her eyes immediately went back to my son as she was trying her best to win his confidence by flattering him and telling him he looks like a good boy. Everything was about "looks" to this less than physically appealing homely late fifties possibly, woman. Every time I would try to say something she looked very sternly at me and again repeated that I was being "confrontational" . She even threatened to put me out of the room, which she finally accomplished after making my son start to cry, but assumed he was crying because of possible "abuse" at home?? At one point she asked my son if he was on medication, because of the way his eyes looked. My son and I immediately told her he had allergies and was recently diagnosed as being allergic to practically everything. Mrs. Walker informed my son that he would need to bring proof of his allergies to "Teen Court" so others wouldn't think he was on drugs and in order to prove his innocence to the court. What Mrs. Walker said right then and there was what I had suspected "Teen Court" was about all along. Teen Court is only to make matters worse for all those young innocent unsuspecting children that are slyly mislead when appearing before the county Justices in this town. As far as the man, (a former Sargent with the Granbury Police Dept, and whom misrepresented himself when he introduced himself to me and my son as "Investigator", days previously) in charge of signing unsuspecting children up for "Teen Court"...I realized he was the one who first labeled me "confrontational" because he had to come up with an excuse why he suddenly threw me and my son out of his office when we went to sign up and after I tried to prob him for answers about "Teen Court". I came to see that this attorney was working in cahoots with the former investigator/Sargent and officials, all in an attempt to entrap my son in "Teen Court" if was possible. Because obviously according to Mrs. Pamela Walker, the prosecuting teens can ask any questions they want about you, your friends, your family, your aunts, uncles step-dads, etc., about smoking, drugs, stealing...whatever they want. No wonder they were so excited to get my son and other unsuspecting young adults into their little county "Teen Court". According to an Ex Sheriff I dated ...the criminals are the ones running the county! He admitted he was mentally ill and that most cops are sick in the head! Well, to not make a long story short, My son changed his plea and is paying the $214.00 fine instead. Some advice...Stay clear of Hood County, Texas!

WORKED the system to get the judge to feel sorry for my mentally ill daughter and get her out on a PR BOND!! THEN just left her be, left her to be homeless and hungry with a mental illness that causes her to be paranoid, and think that everyone she randomly comes in contact with is out to get her!! Who does that? Who is so bent on winning that they just let a mentally unstable woman out in the streets with a paper jumpsuit and no shoes out in December?? I'm pretty sure that she sleeps perfectly at night while I, her mother, lay awake and worry that my daughter will be killed by someone, or kill herself (multiple attempts in the past) because she can't get away from the people in her head trying to kill her.....
If you want a lawyer who is going to help you get away with a crime you committed, this is the one ... but if you want a lawyer who is going to do the ethical thing for her clients, RUN AWAY!! or like me you could have a child that is mentally unstable, with a very long criminal record just set free ...

I went to Mr. Aguilar because i had an open case, I went through 2 prior attorneys before Mr. Aguilar, the prior attorneys did not do want I legally wanted in court. Yet, Mr. Aguilar was my voice in court, fought very hard for me, and made smart and intellectual arguments. Mr. Aguilar sure did his homework on my case and brought up evidence that helped my case.. The opposing side was in shock, Mr. Aguilar sure had a field day with them. It was great, through out the process he helped a lot, keep me calm, was always a phone call/msg away, he gives you his personal cell phone number - who does that ?!?! The previous attorneys I had never gave me their personal phone numbers ... He was great from the start, throughout the entire process, and got me the final remedy that I wanted. Very Proud of Mr. Aguilar. Thank you so much, Aguilar! Keep doing you! You are a great and experienced attorney! You sure are a great strong lion in court.

Worst lawyer. Took my money, did absolutely nothing for my case. Would NOT recommend. He did not tell me when court was, I missed all my court sessions. When we were in court, I spoke to the judge myself and he stood there and said absolutely nothing. A real lawyer is there to defend you! He asked for remediation in which more money was to be paid. That remediation did no justice. Horrible business with you Mr. Aguilar. Yet I still wish you nothing but the best. Please learn from this.

This guy sits on Richardson Municipal court as a traffic judge. We should have age cap for judgeship in US. Old folks shouldn’t be any decision-making role, whether it’s for US presidency, Supreme Court or, traffic court. For the same kind of ticket, he gave different verdicts to two separate individuals. For exactly identical tickets. Because he didn’t like the color of my skin. Very discriminative and hostile behavior. Disappointed on the integrity of the court.

Tom Damore represented me in a DUI case in Dallas. I had taken someone to the closest ER in a neighboring city. It was night, and there was major construction around LBJ Freeway. I didn't know the road we arrived in was closed going the way back. We left Dallas Medical Center at 3 am. I was sleepy, and was trying to figure out where to turn to get back home. There were few street lights; my windshield was dirty. I stayed too long at a light at the intersection which had a simple one-light system. I don't drink and refused the walk test because of muscle and nerve damage in my legs. After being arrested and charged with DUI, it took several years for Dallas County to do what they agreed to do. Mr. Damore was patient and helped me deal with the criminal justice system. It would have been much more difficult without him. The DUI was dismissed! Thanks, Tom D'amore! I am very grateful for your help.

Absolutely worst attorneys office I have worked with. I gave my 3000 retainer, had a mediation for custody that was settled beginning of July. After that was told I still had partial retainer left to file a petition on my house to get my ex off my warrenty deed. This was supposed to be filed in July. Since then I have called and emailed to see what's going on. I received one email back in September to say that she had misunderstood from the house paperwork I sent her. I again explained the situation and have not heard back since then. I call about once a week or once every two weeks with no return phone call. I was just informed today that I get charged for every phone call that I make to try to get a call back that comes off my retainer. I told them today that that is appalling since I haven't received any response in months! I was just hung up on. I was told Sarah King was good by some colleagues, however this is the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a business.

We had a case to get emergency custody of a child. Sarah was prompt at getting us in and making sure the other party was served fast so we would not put him at risk of going back to the mother. It’s very rare fathers get full custody but in our case as well as our friends case they both got full custody. I can not say enough good things about Sarah. She is very down to earth and straight to the point. Our case was delayed bc of Covid but it was still finished way faster than most child custody cases. We were referred to her from someone in the legal system and she is a bulldog. She will say things other attorneys are afraid to say. If you are lucky enough for her to take your case just sit back and trust her. Let her take care of it. She knows what she is doing and on top of it. She didn’t call for every little thing to rack up a high bill. Actually she is a third of the cost of most attorneys that are not half as good as she is. This is my 1st review I usually never write reviews good or bad but I came across this sight while googling her address and she is well deserving of being bragged upon. We truly are forever grateful for Sarah King. Do yourself a favor and choose her as your attorney. Honestly I don’t think she charges enough for her talent.

Wasn't to sure about him at first but he was willing to work with me on payments. He helped me keep custody but i think if he would have been more aggressive more could have went the way it was wanted. I didn't fully agree with everything he did but didn't really have much of a choice. Wish he would of atleast called 1 person to the stand during trial and i wish he would of listened to me on the lies i was catching the other party in. Kinda felt ignored during court.

Ms. Simmons-Gilbert handled my divorce case. I paid my attorney fees and court cost in full, but my final divorce decree wasn't prepared correctly. As an ommission of error done by her legal staff she assured me she would handled the re-filing of the decree and correct the issue. That did not occur and I was left having to file a name change request with the county court. This error cost me another $300 on top of the $1500 already paid. Mine this was a non-contested divorce with no children or property.
Words of advise - get all changes and ommissions of errors in writing when dealing with Ms. Simmons-Gilbert. Consult with other attorneys in the area before signing contract and paying the retainer deposit. I didn't consult with any other attorneys (my fault). I was guaranteed that my case would be handled professionally, which was not the case.

First off I'm not much of a drinker but Andrew is the type of guy you could have a drink with. From the start I was totally comfortable and felt a sense of security with Andrew. I told him what I wanted and he got it done for me... Actually more than what I expected. I had a felony and misdemeanor. He got the felony thrown out and a light smack for the misdemeanor and he got my guns back to me which is what I really wanted. He's funny, has swag and has a presence in the court room. His colleagues seem to have respect for him, and the judge called him by his first name with a certain tone of professional respect. Andrew will always be my favorite officer of the court and id recommend him to anyone looking for a solid defense. Trust me I've dealt with a lot of lawyers, and Andrew's knowledge and professionalism takes the cake.

Si quiere regalar su dinero y que no hagan nada por usted, no contraten el servicio de este buffet de gente incompetente hace 9 años que hice una petición de migración y hasta la fecha de hoy no me dan respuesta de mi caso les manda correos, les llama y no dan respuesta, fue la peor decisión que pude tomar al contratar a esta gente.
If you want to give away your money and have them do nothing for you, do not hire the service of this buffet of incompetent people. 9 years ago I made an immigration request and to this day they have not given me a response to my case. Send them emails, calls and they don't answer, it was the worst decision I could make when hiring these people.

I filed a complaint with the state bar against this attorney for taking my son’s money and not doing any research or work on his case compared to the money that he was paid also for his incompetence and not presenting any exculpatory evidence during the trial. Dennis is a n incompetent trial attorney, based on my son’s experience.

This guy is Terrible as an Amicus Attorney, He gave my Son no consideration as to his request to live with me. He Lied and discredited my son and myself to the court. Instead of stating truths he gave his opinion which was way off track. Stay away from this guy if you value your family. My Son is 14yrs old and he stated he was too immature to decide where he wanted to live. He was appointed by the court and seemed like a nice concerned guy when we met him. But he only spent 1 hour with me and my son over a 8 month period. Terrible work ethic and no morals.

Will not return calls. Family emergency, catching up on work and his phone broken is my favorite excuse. His secretary has all the excuses and has repeatedly tells us the same thing over and over. Months have gone bye. Do not hire him. I feel like I was taken advantage of my broken heart. He tells the District Attorney what you have and now the case have been postponed for months. Don’t know what to do.

Best lawyer you can have I was sitting in jail when Mr. Cox came to see me. I ended up getting out for an approved pr bond. And was able to go home and see my kids. He also got my case dismissed. If it wasn't for his kindness and help I don't know how it could have turned out. He's definitely the best lawyer and a blessing! Thank you for everything you've done for me I really appreciate it. -Alexis

Mr Cox as he did the other women and their son
He lied on my son who remains in jail on trumped up and dismissed charges from 5 years ago. He hates women u sin slander to stop them from complaining about no calls no notifications. My son is very compentent. Had the sally DA And he does snich to the DA. My son has done nothing hes never defended.my son one time. He has the lawyers who are afraid of Cox
Cause he lies and is a Manipulator. He does nothing you ask. He was paid 5000. And did nothing. Right Ms jontu. Lawyers and
Judges use to be fair and lawyers would meet and explain what they were doing. NOT MR COX. Hes a very sick and demented man. Hes.put my son in a 2x2 cage and he has.been there gor 3 years for nothing.
My son has his sister to bond him out. BUT.NO COX wants 2500. More.
He took my money and i never heard or seen him again. Lied in my son. Continously.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?
A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
- Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
- Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
- Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
- Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
- Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.
How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?
Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
- Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.
Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.
How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:
- Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
- Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.
Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.
Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer
Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will you personally handle my child’s case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court. -
What rights does my child have?
Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.
How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
- School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
- CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
