JUVENILE COURT CASES

Juvenile Court Cases:

The attorneys at Rochelle, McCulloch & Aulds, PLLC (RMA) handle matters in the Juvenile Courts in Wilson, Macon, Dekalb, Smith, Putnam and Trousdale counties. The attorneys provide assistance to clients in Dependency & Neglect (D&N) cases which are cases that involve allegations of the abuse or neglect of children. A D&N case is a civil case not a criminal case. Parents involved in a D&N case are not prosecuted for a crime. However, as a parent, a dependency and neglect case may lead to the termination of your parental rights, so it is important for you to obtain counsel to represent you. The court process can be very overwhelming and confusing. The attorneys at RMA have the experience to advocate for your rights at every stage of D&N proceedings.

Although, a D & N case is not a criminal matter, the District Attorney General may determine that the abuse is severe enough to charge a person criminally. In such a case, the attorneys at RMA have experience with these types of cases and can offer a very aggressive defense against such allegations.

It is important to have a lawyer at the very beginning of a D & N case. Waiting for representation can hinder your chances of being reunited with your children.
