Juvenile Law

A juvenile lawyer is a highly specialized sect/area of family law, dealing with the needs of children and teenagers. Juvenile law can involve juvenile (child/teenaged) crimes/criminal offenses or often will involve circumstances where children are being abused, neglected, abandoned, are not attending school or having other required or basic needs met, resulting in the social services agencies intervening in the lives of the family.

How Can Pingel Family Law Help?

At every step of the process, whether you or your family are under investigation, there is a substantiated finding, your juvenile/child has been detained due to allegations of a criminal offense, your child is considered delinquent due to non-attendance at school or there is some other involvement in the social welfare system, we are able to help you. At every step in the process, there are opportunities for a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer to advocate and assist you and your family in navigating the system and the process. In our many years of experience, things are almost never clear cut and there are always two sides to a story or allegation being raised. It’s common for parents accused of neglect or abuse, or when their child is accused of a crime, to be overwhelmed with questions, fear, and uncertainty, but it is crucial in this time, that your rights are protected and that you have an excellent advocate ensuring your side of the story is told. At Pingel Family Law, we have many years of experience helping families just like yours. Not only can we help you navigate the process as quickly and painlessly as possible, we can also help with questions, concerns and develop a plan of action moving forward so that you feel a sense of hope about the future and the outcome. 

Even if you have already received a substantiated report, it does not have to mean that your child will be removed from your home or that you have been found guilty of a crime. It simply means, sometimes in the subjective opinion of the person investigating, that they have sufficient evidence to find that you have committed wrongdoing. However, in our experience, there are often other factors and considerations that need to be brought to light. A skilled family law attorney can help you appeal the determination, and if needed, bring your case in front of a judge to have a fair and impartial hearing where all of the evidence can be presented. 

If your family needs assistance with a juvenile matter, whether it involves allegations of abuse and neglect, your child has committed a crime or wrong-doing, an adoption process is not going well or you need help completing an adoption process, we are here to help. Call Pingel Family Law today at (816) 208-8130 for your consultation. Allow us to help your family find hope, peace and victory for the future.
