Typically, it’s not very quick in Juvenile Court. A family law attorney brings a different perspective to Juvenile Court. We have public defenders that are in there all day, every day doing what they do, and we have the Family Services that really has a very strong presence there, pretty much telling everybody how it’s going to be. A family lawyer can bring a breath of fresh air in there because he/she is not going to agree to everything that Family Services wants to do. I fight differently for my clients and come up with more creative solutions. I have more time to really get working on the case and moving the case forward than maybe a public defender with a huge case load. I think it just turns out a lot better for my clients when they have someone that knows the divorce side and the juvenile side and can kind of work them together.
