My child was arrested. Who can help?

03Before your consultation
Start with what you know.
Bring the paperwork you have, the dates that matter, and your questions. You do not need a perfect account before asking for help.
Gather your documents.
Court notices, bond paperwork, citations, insurance letters — whatever you have received.
Write down the dates.
Court settings, deadlines, and when things happened. Deadlines can run from when a notice was served.
Protect the evidence.
Keep messages and photos. Don’t delete anything, and don’t discuss the case online.

04Common questions
Questions people ask first.
General information only. Your situation deserves advice about its own facts.
Is juvenile court the same as adult criminal court?
No. The procedures, terminology, and available resolutions can differ. Discuss the exact case with counsel.
Can a juvenile record be sealed?
Record relief depends on eligibility and the history of the case. It should be evaluated rather than assumed.
