Houston Juvenile Defense Lawyer
Houston Divorce and Family Law Attorney
Juvenile criminal matters, which involve criminal charges against people under the age of 18, are some of the most emotional and perplexing times for children and their parents. The prospect of defending against criminal charges is daunting, and the charges can severely impact a child's development, education, and future.
In Texas, juvenile crime is also treated much differently than a criminal act committed by an adult. The state has established an entire judicial system dedicated to juvenile criminal matters, and it involves an adjudication process completely distinct from other courts. State law also requires parents to be involved throughout the proceedings.

Schools Have Changed
Not long ago, juvenile disciplinary issues at schools were handled internally by school administration. However, as a result of escalating violence in schools across the country, schools have grown dependant on local law enforcement officers to control criminal activity. Metal detectors, locker searches, and frisks have all become components of school safety procedure. Due to these changes, students and parents need to be aware of the legal ramifications of these measures so that they fully understand their rights.
The Dragony Law Firm is well versed in the laws surrounding criminal law enforcement in schools. When a juvenile is charged with committing a crime on school grounds, the firm will analyze the actions taken by police and the school administration, as well as the school's disciplinary procedures to ensure that the student's constitutional rights have not been violated.
