Protecting the Rights of Juveniles in Columbus, Ohio
Juveniles need additional assistance to protect their rights against the government. At Scott & Nemann, we provide experienced representation to protect the rights of minors facing serious criminal records, fines and jail time. Our attorneys are experienced in handling all aspects of juvenile offenses, including bindover hearings, where the state is attempting to punish your child in adult court, with adult prison sentences.
Juveniles have many of the same rights as adults. Do not make statements to police before talking to an attorney.
Call 866.604.4026 for a free consultation or contact us by email if your child was accused of a juvenile offense.
Consequences for juvenile offenses
Parents usually contact our firm after a child has been placed in a detention facility. We will take immediate action to get them out of detention or out of lockup. We can also help keep them in school rather than being expelled. It is important to work with an attorney who can get your child back on track so that they are not stigmatized or labeled a criminal, which can prevent access to job opportunities, loans or scholarships. We are committed to protecting the rights of juveniles now and into the future.
We are experienced with the defense of crimes committed by a minor involving:
- Juvenile sex offenses: sex crimes, rape, assault, molestation
- Property crimes: theft, shoplifting, computer crimes
- Drug offenses: possession, distribution, manufacture, cultivation, DUI/OVI
- Violent crimes
Abuse and neglect and removal from home
When the government accuses a parent of abuse or neglect, they may seek to remove children from the home. In addition to criminal defense, we provide representation to both parents and children seeking to defend against removal from the home for abuse or neglect charges. We are experienced in representing juveniles who are being placed into foster care or juvenile detention facilities.
Experienced advocacy to protect the rights of juveniles
Juveniles need experienced and aggressive advocacy to protect their rights and interests into the future. Whether you are a juvenile seeking criminal defense or you are a parent or guardian of a child facing juvenile charges, it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. We handle commitment cases and delinquency involving juvenile offenses, and can also assist in record expungement actions.
