Cleveland Juvenile Law Attorney

Northeastern Ohio Juvenile Delinquency Lawyer

I, Laurence Turbow, have a wide juvenile law practice. I help children facing juvenile delinquency charges and also take on dependency, neglect and abuse cases. I offer over 30 years of experience in juvenile law, family law and criminal law, and have helped hundreds of clients throughout Cuyahoga County and Northeast Ohio.

Laurence A. Turbow, L.P.A., Inc., can help clients in the areas of:

Juvenile delinquency: Delinquency cases involve allegations that would be criminal events if committed by someone 18 years or older. Some offenses can also lead to a child being prosecuted as an adult.

Dependency: Dependency is an umbrella term in which a child's situation requires court involvement even though there is technically no one at fault. Children services agencies are usually involved in these cases.

Abuse: In abuse cases, parents are accused of causing harm to a child directly, most often through physical contact. Abuse cases typically involve criminal charges too, and a threat of loss of parental rights.

Neglect: As opposed to abuse, neglect is a more indirect form of mistreatment involving inadequate living conditions or not providing adequate care. As in abuse cases, criminal charges are common, as is a threat of a loss of parental rights.

Juvenile drug charges: If your child has been charged with possession, distribution or manufacture of any drug, including prescription drugs, I can advise you of the options and will strive to minimize charges and penalties.

If you would like to discuss representation, please call (216) 881-7939 or e-mail my firm to arrange a consultation. I represent clients in state and federal courts throughout Northeast Ohio.
