Need representation for a juvenile court matter? Who helps you navigate the process?
✅ Public Defender
While probation officers play an important role in the court system, they do not provide legal representation. A public defender is your child’s legal advocate. They will ensure their rights are protected, explain the process, and stand beside them every step of the way in court.
Knowing the difference is important. Stay in the know.
