What happens at a juvenile detention hearing?
A juvenile detention hearing, also known as a detention hearing or detention hearing, is a legal proceeding held shortly after a juvenile is taken into custody. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the juvenile should be detained pending further proceedings in their case or released to the custody of a parent or guardian.
At L & L Law Group, we recognize the significance of juvenile detention hearings and the need for skilled legal representation to protect the rights of juveniles. Our experienced attorneys are well-versed in the laws and procedures governing juvenile detention hearings and will provide your child with the aggressive representation they need to achieve the best possible outcome.
During a juvenile detention hearing, a judge will consider various factors in determining whether detention is necessary. These factors may include the nature and severity of the offense, the juvenile’s prior history of delinquency or criminal behavior, their ties to the community, and any potential risk to public safety or flight risk. The prosecutor may present evidence and arguments in support of detention, while the juvenile’s attorney will advocate for their release.
Our attorneys will work tirelessly to present evidence and arguments in favor of your child’s release and to challenge any evidence or arguments presented by the prosecution. We understand the importance of protecting your child’s rights and ensuring that they are treated fairly throughout the detention hearing process. We will provide your child with the skilled legal representation and support they need to navigate the juvenile justice system and achieve the best possible outcome in their case.
