McHenry County Juvenile Law Attorneys

Illinois Juvenile Law Firm Serving Crystal Lake and Chicagoland
The juvenile law system is set up to separate minors accused of crimes from the adult criminal system. However, penalties for findings of guilt on juvenile charges carry potentially severe consequences that can permanently affect the minor's record. The impact of a juvenile court finding can negatively affect a minor for many years into the future. At Botto Gilbert Lancaster, PC, we are experienced in helping parents and minors navigate the juvenile law system. We understand the importance and impact of a juvenile record, and we work hard to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.
