Juvenile and Youth Defense

If you or your child or youth is involved in the juvenile court system, you need an advocate who is going to treat your family with care and respect. Almost all juvenile cases start out as delinquency prosecutions. Prosecutors can choose to indict any eligible delinquency case as a youthful offender after the delinquency case is already in court. An attorney who knows your child and your family, like the attorneys at Ramirez and Sunnerberg do with each and every case, will be more successful than one who is not.

When a child engages with the system, it is scary for everyone, but it does not have to mean the end of that child’s potential. Our attorneys have had success in convincing the government and the Court that a child should not have a criminal record created, should not have to admit to any wrongdoing and be placed on a probationary period, or that the child’s rights were not adequately protected before they made any statements. We use a variety of advocacy tactics including involving juvenile brain development experts and social workers,
