Juvenile Delinquency in Florida
Juvenile Delinquency refers to criminal acts committed by minors. Our approach focuses on advocating for rehabilitation and support rather than punishment, understanding the unique circumstances of each case. We strive to provide juveniles and their families with legal representation that aims to secure outcomes that promote the child’s best interests, focusing on education, counseling, and community service, as opposed to incarceration.
Baker Act Proceedings
The Baker Act allows for the involuntary examination of an individual experiencing a mental health crisis in Florida. Navigating Baker Act proceedings requires a sensitive understanding of mental health law and the rights of the individual. Nicole Habl, P.A. is committed to ensuring that the process is conducted lawfully and that individuals receive the care and treatment they need, while also safeguarding their liberties and rights under the law.
Marchman Act Proceedings
Similar to the Baker Act, the Marchman Act provides for the involuntary assessment and treatment of individuals struggling with substance abuse. Our legal services include guiding families through the Marchman Act process, ensuring that their loved ones receive appropriate and compassionate care for substance dependency issues, while also respecting the legal standards and protections afforded to them.
Shelter Hearings in Florida
Shelter Hearings are critical in cases involving allegations of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment. These hearings determine whether a child should be temporarily removed from their home for their safety.
