Augustin Egelsee L.L.P. specializes in the many legal issues confronting juveniles and their families. A majority of their work is divided among the following areas:

Special Education Law:
Many children with academic or discipline problems may actually have an undiagnosed disability. Special education, in its many manifestations, exists to give children with disabilities the specific type of attention and instruction that they require. For all special education provisions, there are legal procedures that must be carefully followed. Federal law mandates that public schools must offer specialized education to meet the specific needs of children with disabilities. Depending on the child, it may also be necessary to place the child in a special school.

Expulsion and Suspension:
There are many procedural safeguards that must be followed to expel or suspend a student. Anything less than full compliance with these regulations could constitute a violation of child's rights. However, there are short timelines for contesting disciplinary matters; if you suspect your child has been unfairly suspended or expelled, you should consult with a juvenile justice lawyer as soon as possible.

Juvenile Defense:
Juvenile courts are very different from adult courts, involving different procedures and imparting different rights on the accused. There are also some charges special to children: for example, few people realize that delinquency and truancy (i.e. skipping school) are juvenile crimes. An attorney unfamiliar with the special circumstances surrounding juvenile cases may unwittingly damage his or her client's case.
