Should I have an attorney for my juvenile court case?

Juvenile court cases can be very complicated and have long-lasting effects. If you are involved in a juvenile case, you should talk to an attorney with experience handling juvenile court cases. If you cannot afford an attorney, you should fill out an application for a court appointed attorney available on the Iowa Judicial Branch website at:
