We all want the best for our children and hope they never need legal counsel. Unfortunately, the situation may arise where a child gets into trouble.  Juvenile crime can be ugly and embarrassing for the entire family. It’s important to protect youth from having a terrible record that can haunt their life and professional career for years. Getting a lawyer on your side that understands this particular corner of law practice in Seattle is an important factor in the outcome of the situation. At Eagle Law Offices, P.S., we offer Seattle Juvenile Crime services to those in Seattle and in the surrounding area.

Juvenile delinquency is not an issue to ignore or neglect about the potential consequences for the parties involved. Parents and courts are defensive about children and the cases regarding their actions and rights. Concepts like status rights or topics revolving around a case with non-violent violations for a first time offender may not carry the same punishment as violent crimes from a repeat criminal. Contact Eagle Law Offices, P.S., at 206-426-6961 or by clicking here to schedule a consultation and to get your child’s future back on track.
