JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY/DEPENDENCY
HAVE YOU BEEN ACCUSED
OF CHILD NEGLECT?
A juvenile dependency action is a state civil action against the parents or guardians of a child, with the objective of protecting the minor child. Juvenile dependency cases are often initiated in situations where there are allegations of child abuse, neglect, substance abuse or other circumstances that endanger a child’s well-being. One of the legal consequences of a dependency action is the termination of parental rights and the placement of a child in shelter with the possibility of eventual adoption.
STRONG REPRESENTATION IN FLORIDA CHILD DEPENDENCY ACTIONS
If your child has been adjudicated dependent, you must take specific actions to protect your parental rights and demonstrate that you are a fit parent. If you are facing the prospect of having your children removed and placed in the care of a shelter, you need strong legal guidance. It is vital to hire an attorney to help you understand the process, avoid self-incrimination, and arrange substance abuse or anger-management counseling if necessary.

Coleman is uniquely qualified to assist parents in defending themselves at every stage of the juvenile dependency process.
