Juvenile Law

Skillful legal representation for juveniles in Texas

The juvenile court system handles children under the age of 17 who are charged with criminal activities. The special nature of juvenile law requires an attorney equipped with the experience, skill, and demeanor necessary to relate to the needs and concerns of your minor children while vigorously protecting their legal rights. Will Underwood possesses these skills and readily handles all aspects of juvenile law, including detention hearings, trials, sentencing hearings, probation issues, and pre-sentencing investigations.

Protect your child and minimize the damage in Collin, Denton, Dallas, and Grayson counties

Protecting your child's future and well-being can be a difficult task in today's world. When your child makes a bad decision, or gets caught up with the wrong group of friends, you need a lawyer who can help you limit the damage caused by juvenile law issues. We realize that young people facing criminal charges are at a difficult, pivotal point in their lives.

The Underwood Law Office is dedicated to helping the families of juveniles charged with crimes. Our commitment to juvenile justice issues emanates from a desire to make our community a better place to live and ensuring that accused children don’t get left behind. We understand that juveniles who commit offenses often do so impulsively. We also know that police officials and others in the criminal justice system frequently jump the gun, violating or ignoring legal precedent when investigating and detaining juveniles accused of crimes.
