"Representation of the juvenile client is markedly different than that of the adult client. In representing an adult, the only goal is to do everything possible to "get him out of the mess." When parents bring their children to a Delaware criminal lawyer, they also, typically, care about the message that is being sent to their child or children. It sends the wrong message when the mantra is "get yourself a good lawyer and you will get out of this." Consequently, in representing a person who has been charged with an act of juvenile delinquency, consideration must be given to the parents' need to send the right message and the child's need to temper the result. I will tell the parent up front that my representation includes not only what is best for the child's legal situation, but what is also best for his or her developmental situation as well."
