Juvenile Law

Protecting Your Child Against Juvenile Charges in Kansas

When a minor child is charged with a misdemeanor or felony, the consequences go beyond legal penalties. A promising future is in doubt when it comes to educational and career choices.

Cases involving your child can be complex given that these matters are handled differently from adult criminal cases in state court. You need an attorney experienced in the juvenile justice system who can skillfully protect your child’s rights.
