Re: Juvenile Arrest
Hello---Thank you for your question. Yes, the police have the duty to inform you right away when they are holding your child or if they plan to arrest him. You were not at home, so perhaps they did try to contact you. But maybe not. As this is a very serious charge, you should get very serious and consider hiring an Attorney for your son's Robbery case. I have been practicing Criminal Defense for over 27 years, and would be available to help you, if you wish. Send me an email, or call at: (562) 754-7422. Attorney Woodworth
