You are not alone

We've walked people through this since 1983.

The juvenile system works differently from adult court, and that's easy to get lost in. We explain each step and focus on keeping your child's record clean.

What's at stake

The next moves matter.

A juvenile record can follow your child into school applications, jobs, and licenses. The sooner it's handled right, the better their chances of starting fresh.

How we defend it

How Arroyo helps.

  • We handle the process so your family isn't guessing.
  • We pursue diversion and rehabilitation over punishment.
  • We help seal the record when your child is eligible.

How juvenile court works

Juvenile cases move through detention, a petition, hearings, and a disposition. Some cases end with counseling or diversion; others end with a sealed record. We walk you through where you are, what's next, and where we step in.
