Will I Need An Attorney for My Son? Northwest Chicago suburbs

Answered 11 years and 8 months ago by Lori G. Levin (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Drug Crimes
   Please contact an attorney as soon as possible. If your son is being referred to Juvenile Court, he will need to be represented by an attorney; juveniles cannot represent themselves. Should you not be able to afford an attorney, a public defender will be appointed for him. The court will determine whether or not your son is eligible for the services of an assistant public defender.    Being referred to Juvenile Court is a very serious matter.
