El Paso Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyer

Powerful & Passionate Advocacy For Your Future

Anyone who is accused of a crime can feel that his or entire future is threatened. The same can apply to children whose prospects in life can be severely diminished due to one mistake or one erroneous allegation. In this difficult time, you deserve to be represented by a lawyer who has you or your child’s best interests in mind.

I have defended hundreds of juveniles accused of criminal offenses. The defense of a juvenile case is not the same as an adult case. Not only am I ready to mount a robust defense of a young person's freedom and future, but I can also advocate on parents’ behalf. Parents sometimes face sanctions for their child’s alleged delinquency. When you need comprehensive defense, you can rely on The Law Offices of Leonard Morales P.C..

Work With An Experienced Defense Attorney

A minor in juvenile court does not have the same constitutional rights as an adult in criminal court. Unlike criminal court judges, the Juvenile Court Referee has broad authority under both the Texas Family Code and Criminal Code of Texas to impose sanctions on your child. Because of these and other significant differences, it is vital that you find an experienced defender who is familiar with these types of cases. Your child deserves the chance at a future that is not cut short because of a mistake. Likewise, if your child always seems to be in trouble, it may not be his or her fault. The Juvenile system is designed to get at the root of the problem now, before the child turns into an adult. In my experience this is the stage at which we all can do the most good. The idea is to fix the problem or give the juvenile the tools he or she needs to succeed. Don’t sell your child short, their future depends on it.

In my 20+ years of legal practice in Texas, I have been named to The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers in 2014, as well as received numerous other accolades. But what really testifies to my passion for every client are the results that I have secured on behalf of the individuals I have represented. As an El Paso criminal defense and family lawyer, I have represented thousands of people before, producing results that speak for themselves. When I take a case, I cannot guarantee an outcome, but I can promise you that I will give my very best.
