Juvenile Law in Connecticut
Is your child in trouble with the law? Are you afraid of losing your child due to allegations of neglect or abuse? Troubled youth and parents experiencing difficulty with the Connecticut Department of Children and Families often have their cases handled in juvenile court, which is much different than regular court.
At Ormond Romano we help families who have a child in trouble, as well as parent's whose child custody rights are in jeopardy. As retired police officers who worked in a large Connecticut city, the attorneys at Ormond Romano understand the intricacies of the juvenile justice system in addition to helping families resolve legal issues in a wide variety of methods.
If your child is facing charges of drug possession or underage drinking, or if Child Protective Services is questioning your parenting ability, contact our office and set up an appointment to speak with us by calling (203) 375-6500. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your juvenile law concerns and options.
Juvenile Delinquency — Was Your Child Arrested?
As a parent, you want the best for your child's future. When he or she makes a mistake and gets in trouble with the law, you need to take immediate action. Having a record of juvenile detention or probation can negatively affect your child's ability to participate in extra-curricular activities. It may also limit the post-secondary institutions your child can attend.
You don't have to face these consequences alone. As a dedicated criminal defense and juvenile law attorney, Ormond Romano will work with you and your child toward a viable outcome, vigorously defending their rights and their future.
Juvenile Dependency — Are You In Danger of Losing Custody?
If a case of child abuse or neglect goes to juvenile court, you may be at risk of losing custody of your child. As your legal representative, it is our job to remind social services that they are responsible for meeting the burden of proof. We will advocate for your parental rights, helping you keep your children in your home.
Families should be together. If your child has been removed from your home, we will act quickly and decisively to help you regain custody.
If you or someone you know is in need of our services, please do not hesitate to contact us to set up an appointment. We will provide you with a detailed evaluation at no cost to you. Our office is open evenings and weekends by appointment and we accept all major credit cards - MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.
