Juvenile Law
If your child or young family member needs representation in juvenile court, the Law Office of Jeremy Maldonado has experience handling juvenile cases. While serving as an Assistant District Attorney for Harris County, TX, Jeremy Maldonado handled hundreds of cases involving juveniles charged with serious offenses.
Many people do not understand the long lasting affects a juvenile charge can have on a person throughout their life. While the primary goal is to ensure that the best interests of your child are served, it is also extremely important that your child is not forced to take responsibility for a crime that he or she did not commit. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a child could be placed in a youth program or the Texas Youth Commission and taken away from his or her home and loved ones.
The consequences of this are long lasting and can affect a child’s ability to obtain employment and attend college. Many attorneys are unfamiliar with juvenile law due to the fact that it is very different from the adult criminal justice system. Weather your child is facing a detention hearing where it is determined if he or she should remain in custody during the duration of the proceedings or your family is wanting to take the case to trial, it is important that you find an attorney that is familiar with the juvenile justice system. The Law Office of Jeremy Maldonado can help your child and family get back on track.
