Keeping the Emphasis on Rehabilitation, Not Punishment
Dealing with the juvenile justice system can be very confusing for a parent. There are many more alternatives available for a child who gets in trouble than for an adult. An experienced family law attorney can guide you through the process and help ensure the best outcome for your child.
If your child has been arrested or is in trouble at home or school, we offer an initial consultation to answer your questions. Our law office is conveniently located in the Cleveland suburb of Rocky River.
Attorney Darlene Wilcox and our office staff provide experienced representation to children who face criminal charges such as vandalism, underage drinking, trespassing, burglary, theft, drug offenses, assault and domestic violence. We also help families who are dealing with an unruly child or with issues such as truancy.
When Your Child Faces Criminal Charges
The emphasis of the Ohio juvenile court system is on rehabilitation, not on fines or punishment. Alternatives such as counseling, alcohol or drug treatment, and community service can help your child get his or her life back on track so they can grow up to be a responsible adult.
Attorney Darlene Wilcox brings a diverse background to her law practice. She is a former college professor who understands how to teach young minds. As an attorney who focuses on family law rather than criminal law, the emphasis of her practice is on problem-solving and rebuilding families.
