The most obvious scenario is one that a juvenile law lawyer must deal with. Criminal
charges can be brought against a minor in an array of different situations. However, the
treatment of the case, the defendant and the witnesses is often very different.
Handled correctly it can significantly affect the outcome of the case; in particular the
sentence given if the juvenile is found guilty.
This is why it is essential to use a good juvenile law lawyer; they know how to work within
the system for you.
 Emancipation

This generally applies to children who are nearly adults according to the law but still under
the jurisdiction of their parents or guardians. There are many reasons why a child may no
longer feel they should be held accountable by their parents; these are generally complex
and emotional issues which is why a specialist juvenile law lawyer is essential.
 General Advice

It can be difficult for a young adult to understand what is permissible and what is not. In
many cases the actions of an adolescent are taken without thinking of the consequences; if
a crime is subsequently committed this may not have been intended. The law allows for
this.
In order to be fully aware of their rights and obligations under the law it can be helpful for
someone on the cusp of becoming an adult to speak to a juvenile law lawyer and confirm
what is a permissible action.
