We realize that emergencies do arise and appreciate hearing from you quickly when you have an emergency. The morning of a hearing is extremely hard to reschedule. If you know that you have a major conflict, please let us have a week or more notice. We will do our best to reschedule your hearing. Please be aware that we cannot schedule everything after school in the afternoon as all the cases we hear involve school age children.
Some juveniles appear before the judge only once or twice.
Others appear frequently and are often involved in delinquent behavior. The probation officers consider all factors when making their recommendations to the judge. Please be aware that all the above people work with the Court but are not permanently here at the courthouse. Many public defenders have private practices and all the above agencies have offices elsewhere in the area. Because they are not in our building, we cannot transfer calls to their offices.
