Rockdale County Juvenile Law Attorneys
It does not take much for the needs of a minor to be ignored completely or swallowed whole by the legal system. However, an experienced lawyer can make sure your voice, or that of your child, is heard and your rights are protected. At the Conyers Law Offices or R D Moore, P.C., we take a stand for minors and their families throughout the greater Atlanta area with juvenile law concerns. From juvenile delinquency to child deprivation, we know how these cases work and we understand the rights of minors, as well as the rights of a parent to raise his or her child without government interference.
Addressing Your Legal Concerns
Contact the Law Offices of R D Moore, P.C.
When a child is deprived of their basic sustenance, care and supervision, or put in harms way, physically or mentally, it could be a case of deprivation. It could be as simple as a parent failing to take their child to school or it could be a guardian taking drugs or abusing the child. Anyone of legal age can bring a deprivation complaint to the Department of Family and Children's Services or directly to a juvenile court.
If DFCS finds sufficient grounds, they will file a complaint with the Juvenile Court, and there will be a sequence of events similar to a criminal trial. If the parents are found guilty of deprivation, the court will work out a plan to fix the situation. We represent parents defending against these claims or advocate for concerned third parties in order to do what is best for the children involved.
Having handled a wide range of cases in Georgia Juvenile Court, attorney Russel D Moore IV knows how the system works and is prepared to handle a wide range of concerns, including:
- Delinquency: From runaways to children having trouble at school, we represent minors who have been charged with delinquency by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
- Deprivation: If DFCS has filed a complaint against you alleging you were mistreating your child, it is critically important to have legal representation. It can mean the difference between keeping your child or children out of foster care.
- Termination of parental rights: If you require assistance in obtaining the termination of parental rights for any reason, including adoption, we can help.
Acting as a guardian in deprivation or termination of parental rights hearings, we protect the rights of children if the court decides the children involved need their own advocates.
