My Juvenile Law Practice
I handle a wide range of legal matters affecting juveniles, including:
- Juvenile delinquency. I handle cases involving charges against minors that would be considered crimes if committed by an adult.
- Juvenile sex crimes. I defend minors charged with sex offenses and can help you or your child comply with sex offender registry requirements under Alabama law. You want an experienced attorney to guide you through this process, as parents can be charged with a felony for failing to properly register a juvenile sex offender if convicted.
- Child in need of supervision cases (CHINS). I work with minors who have engaged in activity that, while not criminal, reflects a need for training, rehabilitation or supervision, such as truancy, disobedience or running away from home.
- Dependency cases. I protect the rights of minors who do not have a parent or guardian capable of acting as a caregiver, working with the court to appoint a legal guardian.
- Termination of parental rights proceedings. I handle all matters related to the termination of parental rights, including situations where there has been family member abuse.
To schedule an appointment, contact me or call my office at 205-535-1027. I offer a free initial consultation for most new clients. I am available to meet with clients from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and evenings and weekends upon request. My office is located three blocks from the courthouse in Tuscaloosa, near Capital Park. I can meet with you in jail by appointment. I accept credit card payments.
