California Juvenile Law Attorneys
If you receive notice that your child is facing a juvenile court matter, it is important to find the best possible representation. At McGlinn & McGlinn, Attorneys at Law, a San Diego County juvenile defense lawyer can not only address the immediate legal problem, but also refer you to organizations that can help with non-legal issues that may affect your child's future. It is important to contact us immediately when first advised of school suspension/expulsion issues or that your child will possibly be facing juvenile court charges.
Call a San Diego County Juvenile Defense Attorney
Our legal practice includes all matters related to juvenile law, including:
- Juvenile crime: Our goal is to protect young people from the consequences of a juvenile crime charge.
- Juvenile dependency: We represent clients in child abuse/neglect hearings and help them preserve their parental rights.
- Child Protective Services and Child Abuse Index: The California Child Protective Services (CPS) department has the power to take your child from you. We can help.
- School suspensions and expulsions: School problems can be an indicator of greater difficulties in the future — difficulties that can lead to legal problems.
- Guardianships and adoptions: If your family is having troubles involving drug addiction or mental illness, it is better to have a grandparent become your child's guardian rather than involving CPS.
- Special education law: It is critical to get the right educational services for your special needs child the first time. We advocate for parents so they can make good decisions.
- Criminal defense: If there's a possibility that your teenager will be tried in adult court, it is critical that he or she has an experienced defense attorney who understands both the adult and juvenile systems.
- Prevention: There are public services available to help families whose children are in trouble with the legal system. Our lawyers can refer you.
- DMV hearings: We help clients deal with the consequences of an arrest for DUI, drugs or serious traffic offenses. We will advocate for you at DMV hearings.
