Juvenile Defense Attorney in Lewisville
Denton County Criminal Defense Lawyer
When a minor is charged with a crime, the criminal process is usually different than it is for adults. Minors are treated with some leniency; are detained in juvenile detention centers; and are imprisoned in juvenile correctional facilities so that they are not in the same facilities as convicted adults.
The penalties for minors are also different. Most juvenile offenders face a fine and may be sent home on probation instead of being sent to juvenile detention. Even though these penalties are less serious than the fines and imprisonment that adults face, a criminal conviction can still have a harsh impact on a minor. This is why it is beneficial to have a juvenile defense attorney in Denton County.

How a Conviction Can Affect a Juvenile
Aside from the fines and time spent in juvenile detention (when applicable), minors can face harsh consequences with their friends and family. A child can lose the respect of their peers, as well as of their teachers and coaches, when they are convicted of a crime. Even if the minor is not convicted, they could lose their solid reputation simply by facing charges. They may also lose opportunities for the following:
- receiving scholarships
- attending school events
- gaining admittance to colleges

"I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more!"I researched and wanted a lawyer familiar with military families and the Haugen Law Firm was it! I had so many different factors in my divorce and child custody, and you truly get what you pay for. I am so thankful to have found them and for all the guidance and help through the process. I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more! This is already a stressful situation and to be able to have a team to help me better understand the ins and outs of the legal tidbits and process helped. It was well worth the cost and even though it feels expensive I know without a doubt that my divorce and custody was done right, and the paperwork shows it. They helped me think of things a regular divorce lawyer wouldn't know due to being a military family. If I need legal help again, I will be coming back for sure! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process.
