Houston, Texas, Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyer

Young people charged with juvenile offenses deserve a sympathetic, thoughtful, and  experienced defense attorney every bit as much as adults do. At the Houston, Texas law office of Melissa Martin, PLLC, I carefully and attentively serve the unique needs of my juvenile clients.

The way a juvenile case is handled today could affect that young person for the rest of his or her life. It is important to me to protect my juvenile clients' futures. If your child has been accused of a crime, I can help him or her. Please contact me today. I will be attentive to your child's needs and will do everything in my power to protect and defend their rights.

I advocate on behalf of juvenile clients who have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor juvenile crime, including:

• Sex offenses
  
  
• Assault
  
• Drug offenses
  
  
• Theft
  
  
• Violent offenses
  
• Criminal mischief
  
  
• Truancy

Juvenile crimes often stem from mental health or special education issues that have not been addressed. If the government has a strong case against the child, I seek to find resolutions that will address these issues and provide the services necessary to help him or her. When appropriate, I will also advocate for rehabilitation and other services as an alternative to confinement.

The ramifications of adult certification of a juvenile are enormous. If motions are made to certify my juvenile client as an adult, I will vigorously represent my client's interests in opposition to this motion.

I have a long history of successfully negotiating and litigating on behalf of my clients. You can rely on my dedication and my experience.

If your child has been accused of delinquency, you need a skilled juvenile defense attorney who is familiar with this area of law. I work diligently to protect my juvenile clients' rights and their futures. For a compassionate, thorough, and attentive juvenile defense lawyer, contact me today. I have your child's best interests at heart.
