Collin County, Texas Juvenile Defense
At my juvenile defense law office, I work closely with parents or legal guardians to develop a case strategy that presents the child in a favorable light with the court. Such evidence may include statements from teachers, ministers, coaches, friends or neighbors that describe positive characters traits that may help your child’s criminal case. If your child is charged with a drug offense, I look for drug rehabilitation as an alternative to harsh criminal penalties.
Texas Juvenile Rights
Being underage does not mean you don’t have the same rights as adults. In Texas, a juvenile enjoys substantially the same rights as adults, such as:
- Protection against unlawful search and seizure
- Miranda rights under arrest
- Right to know the specific criminal charges
- Right to a lawyer during interrogation
- Right to a jury trial at the adjudication hearing
- Right against self-incrimination
- Right to confront accusers and examine witnesses
- Right to appeal court decisions
I will work hard to protect a child’s rights and fight on his or her behalf for the best possible outcome. To learn more about juvenile defense call our Frisco law firm today at 866-439-2182 or contact us online.
