Part of the human brain that determines how well we prioritize or make decisions will not finish developing until we are in our mid-twenties, stigmatizing a child or teenager and exposing them to a larger criminal community will likely set them on a long-term path to self-destructive behavior. For these reasons, it is important to have a powerful juvenile law attorney advocating for your child.
Our juvenile law attorneys also work hard to protect the rights of children who are victims of abandonment, neglect, abuse, or exploitation. At Navarrete & Schwartz, our juvenile law attorneys also deal with a wide variety of legal issues that impact young people both positively and negatively, such as addiction, treatment of disabled and mentally ill minors, parole, foster care, and adoption.
