Collin County Juvenile Crimes Attorney
Children don’t always realize the consequences of their actions. Odds are, most people have committed some crime in their childhood, like stealing a candy bar or hitting another child in anger.

You need the right attorney on your side to protect your child. Lucé Law, PC has a team of experienced attorneys who can help you and your family through this difficult time.
