Protect Your Child With A Juvenile Defense Lawyer By Your Side
Juvenile charges are very serious, and they’re happening more frequently throughout Texas. In the past, it was extremely rare for the police to get involved in a school fight or even drug or alcohol possession. Now, police intervention is an everyday occurrence in most schools, including middle schools and elementary schools.
At the Law Offices of Charles T. Ganz, you will find the experienced representation you need to protect your child’s future. I’m juvenile defense attorney Charles Ganz in Houston. In over two decades of practice, I have handled many juvenile crime cases in the justice system and have also helped parents in dealing with Texas school districts through these matters. I have also taken cases in multiple schools and counties in the greater Houston area. No two counties or school districts have the same process or procedures surrounding these incidents, so I tailor my representation to suit the laws of your location. I also have extensive experience with school removal proceedings.
What To Know About The Juvenile Justice System In Texas
Criminal charges involving minors are different from those involving adults. Rather than punish children, the consequences are meant to rehabilitate them. But many times, the penalties can be harsher than we imagine. It is critical to take a proactive and aggressive stance to ensure your child has a bright future.
As soon as your child’s school calls law enforcement, you should call a lawyer with experience in juvenile defense. A child’s future is dependent upon keeping his or her name clear. Juvenile records and school disciplinary records, even a seemingly minor offense involving alcohol or controlled substances, can impact what high school or college students are allowed or eligible to attend, along with much more in their future.
