Juvenile Law

Juvenile Defense Attorney in San Antonio, TX

Protecting Their Future Starts Today

When a young person is facing criminal charges, everything is at stake — their education, their reputation, and their future. At Argüelles & Lambert, we provide experienced and compassionate legal defense for juveniles and their families. We understand how overwhelming this process can be, and we’re here to help you navigate it every step of the way.

What Is Juvenile Law?

Juvenile law deals with crimes allegedly committed by individuals under the age of 17 in Texas. Unlike adult criminal court, the juvenile justice system focuses on rehabilitation over punishment — but that doesn’t mean the consequences are light.

A juvenile conviction can lead to:

  • Detention or probation
  • Permanent marks on their criminal record
  • Loss of future job or college opportunities
  • A difficult road toward rebuilding trust and stability

That’s why it’s critical to have a legal team that knows the system and knows how to fight.

Why Juvenile Charges Must Be Taken Seriously

Even a single charge can have long-term consequences. Without strong legal defense, your child could face:

  • Difficulty applying to colleges or financial aid
  • Trouble finding employment
  • Loss of scholarships or extracurricular eligibility
  • Immigration consequences (if applicable)

These cases demand quick, informed action from a team that understands how to protect both legal rights and your child’s future.

Our Approach to Juvenile Defense

We understand that for many families, this is their first encounter with the legal system — and it’s often filled with fear, confusion, and uncertainty. At Argüelles & Lambert, we approach each juvenile case with care and urgency.

Here’s what we do:

  • Explain the legal process clearly and calmly to both parents and minors
  • Build a defense strategy focused on protecting your child’s record
  • Fight to keep the case in juvenile court
  • Seek alternatives to detention, such as diversion programs or deferred prosecution
  • Ensure your child is treated fairly by law enforcement and the courts

We never want you — or your child — to feel lost, overwhelmed, or unheard. We are here to guide you, step by step.
