A juvenile is someone who has not reached the age of being legally responsible for criminal acts. In Wisconsin, most often that is under 18 years old. Children and youth may face a wide array of legal situations, which require the help of juvenile defense attorneys.
At Eisenberg Law Offices, you will find professional and experienced juvenile attorneys ready to guide you through the juvenile law process from guardianship of a minor, delinquent conduct, parental neglect of a minor and CHIPS (Children in Need of Protection or Services).
The Juvenile Justice System
Juvenile courts deal with four kinds of young people:
- juveniles accused of criminal conduct,
- children neglected or abused by their parents,
- children in need of assistance from the state,
- youth accused of a status offense (conduct prohibited to children only, such as absence from school, purchase of alcohol, etc.).
Juvenile courts operate according to the assumption that youth differ from adults in terms of responsibility level and rehabilitation potential. Thus, the focus of the juvenile justice system is not on the committed crime, but on the child’s treatment and reintegration into society.
Since juvenile court proceedings have their own distinct characteristics, only experienced juvenile law attorneys can advise you on the best course of action. We are here to serve you. We will resolve your case with utmost care and minimal hassle.
