Houston Juvenile Crimes Attorney
Attorney Representation in Houston, Texas since 1992
Juvenile law is not criminal law, it is not family law, and it is not civil law. Juvenile law is a combination of all them all. There are important parts of juvenile law that are civil, there are important definitions that are found in the Family Code, and obviously the criminal offenses are found in the Texas Penal Code. Representing juveniles is a multi-disciplinary practice that requires a firm understanding of all of these areas of the law. In addition to all of these legal issues it is also crucial that the juvenile attorney understand the physiological and psychological differences between a child and an adult.
Representing children presents an entirely different set of challenges. Although the charges of an adult and a child may be the exact same the psychosocial and psychological development of the child plays a major role in how the case is handled. Like all cases, to properly handle a juvenile case you must have a firm grasp of all the applicable laws and the facts of the case, however with a juvenile case there is so much more.
