Juvenile Law is a distinct and specialized field of law that addresses issues concerning children from birth up to the age of 18, including the protection of the family unit.

Living in a large metropolitan area like Dallas-Fort Worth comes with many advantages. However, these benefits can also bring greater temptations and more complex challenges for our youth. It's not rare to hear about students engaging in fights and various forms of misconduct. Such incidents can harm both children and families, leading schools and Juvenile Courts to collaborate with local families to address these unfortunate events.

When a child is involved in a dispute, such as a fight with weapons, property theft, or drug use, they are entitled to legal representation in Juvenile Court. The consequences for the child can range from a short probation to being removed from their home and placed in a detention facility for several months or even years, depending on the severity of the offense.

Conversely, if a child is a victim of abuse or neglect, they may be taken from their family. The parents risk not only losing custody but also facing the termination of their parental rights. In such cases, both the child and the parents have the right to legal representation.
