Being a father, lawyer Christopher T. Adams is personally concerned with the best interest of every child he represents. He works to make juveniles and their parents comfortable and confident while navigating their cases through juvenile court.
Juvenile delinquency and unruly offenses can take many forms. Juvenile delinquency refers to a crime committed by someone under 18, while "unruly offenses" refer to crimes that are only illegal when committed by someone under a certain age (like skipping school). At Christopher T. Adams, P.C., we frequently handle issues like:
- Vandalism
- Traffic offenses
- Shoplifting and theft
- Possession and distribution of drugs (most frequently marijuana and methamphetamines)
Many of these offenses represent a one-time lapse in judgment for an otherwise well-behaved child or teenager. Often, they are committed as the result of peer pressure, and in some cases, juveniles are charged with crimes committed by their companions when they were merely "along for the ride."
Deprivation Hearings
When the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) believes a child is not being properly taken care of, they take that child into their custody and may place the child into foster care. We help parents in this situation work out an agreement with the DCFS that is in their best interests and the child's.
We also frequently work with grandparents and other family members who want to gain or retain guardianship of a child whom they believe is not receiving proper care.
