UTAH JUVENILE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile law is for individuals who are not old enough to be responsible for their crime, usually those under the age of 18. The juvenile can be accused of either a criminal act or a state offense. Some common forms of state offense include truancy, running away, disobedience of reasonable parental controls, or the purchase of tobacco, alcohol, or pornography. Other areas juvenile law can cover include underage drinking and smoking, teen pregnancy, abortion laws, marital consent, sexual abuse, and the emancipation of a minor. Delinquency cases may result in driver license privileges being revoked, detention, or fines. In juvenile delinquency cases, a seasoned attorney is needed to investigate whether police followed proper constitutional procedures.

If DCFS is involved with your family, many aspects will need to be properly handled procedurally, and the process can become complex; Dennis Pawelek has the knowledge and experience to protect your family.
Dennis Pawelek is an amazing juvenile attorney! He helped our daughter stay out of jail on a possession of a controlled substance and arranged it to where it will not stay on her record forever. It was clear he knew the system, how to deal with the prosecutor and the judge. He gave us great legal advice, how to be strategic and got a great resolution on our daughter’s case. He always called back when we had questions and was really responsive. He really put us at ease and was extremely professional. We would never hire anyone else.
