Indianapolis Attorney for the Protection of Children
A Child in Need of Services case (also called CHINS) involves children who have been abused or neglected by their parents. These cases come in a variety of forms and can include everything from a parent refusing to provide nutrition to a child to a parent allowing a child to miss or skip school. A CHINS case often results in a child being removed from the home.
If your child was wrongfully removed from your care, you are entitled to take legal action. As your lawyer, I will provide dedicated advocacy if your children are taken away from you based on false accusations. I will also help you and your children find services to improve your situation at home or school in order to prevent a future CHINS case.
If your family has been affected by a CHINS case, contact the López Law Office, in Indianapolis, Indiana. I offer free initial consultations to discuss your case.
Indiana Juvenile Delinquency Lawyer
Juvenile crimes, such as underage drinking and possession of marijuana, can result in probation, time in a detention center, community service and other harsh penalties. The consequences of juvenile delinquency may last long into the child's future, preventing him or her from getting a job or even getting into a college or university.
I aggressively defend children in juvenile delinquency cases. Whenever possible, I will seek to mitigate the immediate penalties or long-term consequences of any crimes. For serious crimes, I will work hard to keep the case out of adult court in order to lessen the potential of a lengthy jail or prison sentence.
I represent minors who have been charged with:
- Assault
- Drug possession
- Minor in possession of alcohol/Minor consumption
- Theft
- Robbery
- Violation of probation
- And other crimes
