Juvenile Defense
Juvenile Defense Attorneys in Mobile, AL
Advocacy for Alabama’s Youth. Defense Rooted in Compassion, Strength, and Strategy
Young people deserve a second chance—not a lifetime burdened by legal consequences. At The Hernandez & Associates Law Firm, we defend minors across Mobile, Baldwin County, and surrounding areas in Alabama, standing up for their rights in both the justice system and the educational system.
When a juvenile is accused of a crime, placed on probation, or facing disciplinary actions at school, the impact can be deeply unsettling for both the child and their family. Our team is here to level the playing field, restore clarity, and fight for your child’s future.
Comprehensive Legal Services for Juveniles and Their Families
We provide legal counsel and courtroom representation in a wide range of juvenile-related matters:
- Juvenile criminal defense (including theft, assault, truancy, drug possession, and vandalism)
- School-related disciplinary actions and suspensions
- Probation violations and court oversight issues
- Dependency cases involving allegations of abuse, neglect, or unsafe home environments
- Juvenile appeals and post-adjudication advocacy
- Custody, guardianship, and adoption proceedings related to minors
We work with families at every step—offering guidance, education, and advocacy during a time that can feel uncertain and overwhelming.
Fighting for Fairness in the Juvenile Justice System
The juvenile system is supposed to focus on rehabilitation—not punishment. Unfortunately, this ideal is not always met in practice. Our attorneys are committed to:
- Ensuring that minors understand their rights and charges
- Investigating the facts thoroughly and exploring every available legal defense
- Keeping families informed and empowered throughout the legal process
- Minimizing the long-term consequences of a juvenile adjudication
We handle cases in both juvenile court and family court, and we’re experienced in dealing with probation officers, DHR, school boards, and juvenile court judges.
We Understand the Stakes Are Personal
Children and teens facing legal trouble often feel scared, embarrassed, or hopeless. Our team treats young clients with the dignity and empathy they deserve—never as just a “case file.” We understand the unique pressures they face and the importance of protecting their future opportunities, including college, employment, and military service.
We are also strong advocates for educational rights, including issues related to truancy, IEP support, school discipline, and administrative hearings.
