Juvenile Detention in Connecticut

Connecticut Juvenile Defense Attorney Serving Stamford, Fairfield and Norwalk

A juvenile can be incarcerated temporarily in a juvenile detention facility for a variety of reasons:

• The seriousness of the offense
• The juvenile's prior history
• The likelihood that the juvenile will commit other offenses
• The need to compel the juvenile's court appearance
• The safety of the juvenile or the community

After being taken into custody, the juvenile has the right to be arraigned (be brought before the court and have the charges read) on the next available court date. If remanded to detention the juvenile has the right to appear before the court to ask for release every two weeks.

At the Law Offices of Daniel P. Weiner, we work with parents and high school students, college students and other youths who have been charged with a criminal offense. Our goal is to seek the outcome that has the least long-term impact on the life of the child. If you are seeking help for your child who has been placed in a juvenile detention center, please contact a Stamford juvenile defense attorney to learn how we can help.
