  1. Protecting Your Children in Escambia County The defense of a child in juvenile court is very different than adult criminal court. Preventing a juvenile case from being moved to adult criminal court is a key issue. In the juvenile system, there are no jury trials and each case is heard by a Circuit Court Judge. A juvenile charge is a stressful experience for any parent and an important juncture for the child. In some situations, a juvenile charge can serve as a much-needed wake-up call that will be an invaluable learning experience. It is important to handle juvenile cases in a way that allows children to learn and move on with their lives while avoiding a result that lingers even into adulthood. The Morris Firm has extensive experience defending juvenile criminal cases, and we can use that experience to your family’s advantage. When it comes to your child’s future, nothing should be left to chance. Types Types of of Juvenile Juvenile Offenses Offenses in in Florida Florida
