Juvenile law encompasses both criminal law issues and dependency issues. Whether a child is two or fifteen-years-old, a juvenile is still a minor child. Children are a vulnerable class in our society who require special guidance and protection. Every child, no matter what the circumstance, deserves effective and compassionate legal guidance.
