Practice AreasJuvenileTuscaloosa, Alabama Juvenile Law AttorneysIn Alabama, a criminal act by a minor offender is considered juvenile delinquency. Defense lawyers from our juvenile law firm work with all parties involved: probation officers, the District Attorney, the family, counselors, and school officials to find a solution which is in the best interests of the juvenile. Juvenile courts also make decisions when the health or safety of a child is in question.
