Juvenile Law

Pelham, Alabama Juvenile Law Attorneys

Sometimes children lose the help and support of their parents and must depend on others to assist them. If this happens to children in Alabama before they reach the age of 18, the state's Department of Social Services steps in to help them.

Legal Assistance for Children

When they are on their own, children may also need legal help. Phillip Bahakel is proud to assist these young people when the need arises. Their need may come from a variety of unfortunate circumstances:

• Unmarried parents may be fighting for custody
• They are being abused by their parents
• Their parents are deceased
• They have committed a crime
• They have been abandoned by their parents

Attorney Phillip Bahakel will represent children and/or relatives in any juvenile law matter. From his time as a judge and lawyer in Alabama family law, he is aware of the available services for children and knows how to find the required resources.

Defending Children Who Have Committed a Crime

When the child has committed a crime, Phillip Bahakel knows that Alabama's juvenile law system is interested in rehabilitating, not punishing, children. He represents them with care and understanding, attempting to expeditiously resolve their legal issue and restore them to society.

Sensitive, Understanding Legal Help

Grandparents or other parties with an interest in a child's welfare will sometimes retain Mr. Bahakel to represent them with child support and/or child custody issues.
