Representing Parents and Young People in Juvenile Court
Juvenile court is very different from other legal venues. Here, the goal is not a determination of guilt or innocence. The objective is to develop a plan that is in the best interest of the child.
The attorneys of Polinske & Associates, P.C. in Edwardsville, Illinois, represent clients in juvenile court. Our lawyers defend parents who have been accused of abusing or neglecting their child or children. We also represent children who have been charged with juvenile offenses.
Juvenile Neglect and Abuse Cases
If the state attempts to take away your right to custody of your own child or attempts to terminate your parental rights, we will step in and defend you. A decision of this magnitude has huge implications for the future well-being of the child and for your own future. You can rely on our experience to help you through this difficult time.
We will evaluate the findings and reports of any social workers or medical experts. In some cases we may request independent evaluations. In every case we will pursue all appropriate avenues for achieving your goal.
Juvenile Delinquent Defense Cases
When minors are charged with criminal offenses, they need legal help is much or more so than does an adult. The juvenile court system provides an opportunity to rehabilitate young offender rather than to punish him or her.

- Theft
- Assault
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Drug possession
- Drunk driving
- Sex crimes
- Destruction of property
- Disorderly conduct
