Juvenile Law
Experienced Dayton Juvenile Attorneys
When minors get into trouble with the law, it can be devastating to the young person’s family and loved ones. Most of the time, juvenile offenses are the result of a teen exercising poor judgment or giving in to peer pressure while making poor choices and getting caught by law enforcement. The whole juvenile justice process can seem overwhelming and distressing for a parent of a child who is arrested for a juvenile offense, especially if your child is a first-time offender and is generally law-abiding. If your child is facing juvenile charges in Dayton, it is important that you get into contact with an experienced juvenile defense lawyer as soon as possible.
Juvenile Defense is Different From Normal Criminal Defense
When it comes to minors who are charged with criminal offenses, juveniles, i.e., those under the age of 18 years old in Ohio, are treated differently under the law than adults who are charged with criminal offenses. For instance:
- When juveniles are arrested, they are generally taken to a juvenile detention center for holding until they are charged and taken to court for a detention hearing.
- Juveniles have no right to bail before their detention hearing.
- Juvenile matters are handled by a special court.
- Juvenile matters are governed by juvenile law.
Examples Of Specific Juvenile Law
- Serious youthful offender charges.
- Juvenile sex offender charges.
- Enhanced sentencing for juvenile offenders.
- There are special considerations concerning juvenile criminal records.
- Convicted juveniles are placed in special juvenile correction facilities.
- If a juvenile’s case must be transferred to the adult criminal justice system, there are special rules that govern the transfer.
With so many special considerations for juvenile matters, it is important that you work with an experienced and knowledgeable juvenile law attorney. A young person facing criminal charges in Ohio needs a strong defense and sound legal advice.

The VanNoy attorneys successfully represented me when I felt lost in a frightening system. The VanNoy support staff were helpful and responsive as well, obviously caring that the case was handled professionally and quickly. I knew I made the correct choice for an attorney with the first meeting. Mr VanNoy thoughtfully guided me through an emotional process, and I feel blessed to have worked with him. Thank you.
