Juvenile Law
Covington, Kentucky, Juvenile Law Attorneys
Kenton County — Campbell County — Boone County — Hamilton County
Juvenile law and juvenile criminal defense vary from adult criminal defense in important ways, and require experienced and skillful legal handling. Juvenile courts are concerned with the well-being of children, as well as the actions of children which would be considered crimes if committed by an adult.
At the Covington, Kentucky, juvenile offense and criminal defense law firm of Roush & Stilz, P.S.C., we have worked with children and minors for years, and understand how to help them. Lawyers Peter Roush and Kash Stilz both currently serve as guardians ad litem, which are court-appointed attorneys who look out for children’s best interests.
In our roles as guardians ad litem, we go to childrens' homes, interview school staff, parents and other family members, and gather information to protect the children they represent.
As an extension of our legal services for children, we provide juvenile crime legal services. If your child is accused of an act that would constitute a crime if the child was an adult, we can provide caring legal representation aimed at helping your child get back on track.
Does your child face juvenile offense charges? We have helped hundreds of children, parents and guardians. Call (859) 757-0970.
Attorney Roush has served as chief juvenile prosecutor, and knows the full processes and procedures of juvenile courts. Has your child been accused of:
- Assault
- Harassment
- Rape and other sex crimes
- Burglary
- Possession or trafficking of drugs
- Truancy or curfew violations
- Fighting and gang-related offenses
- Any other criminal defense
We can defend your child, work to prove his or her innocence and work to have charges reduced or dismissed.
We care about children, and are involved in several community programs aimed at helping kids. One is Partners in Prevention, which aids Covington kids through education regarding personal responsibility. Another is a program initiated by Peter Roush which reduced truancy in area schools by almost 50 percent.
