Juvenile Law Representation- Illinois
When a child is accused of a crime, he or she is required to have attorney representation in court. Parents are also required to be present. Generally, when a juvenile case is pending, a child may be detained in a juvenile detention center or foster care facility.
If a child is convicted of a sex offense, he or she may be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of his or her life. Having a permanent mark on their record will almost certainly adversely affect them for the rest of their life.
