Juvenile Rights and Defense

Over the course of the last twenty years, Timothy J. Conlon   has represented juveniles before the Rhode Island Family Court in cases ranging from truancy and disobedience to arson and murder. Juvenile cases often arise in the context of other issues relating to the child and the family. Juvenile defense is significantly different from traditional criminal defense in that the Family Court, unlike a "criminal" court, is there to assist the child and the family responding to the difficulties the child is facing. If you wish to inquire about the availability of services to assist you or your child in connection with a juvenile matter, you may contact us by phone or electronically here.

We can defend your child on Family Court charges - but just as importantly, we can help present the Court with an understanding of the client's needs, and work with the system to secure help.
