Juvenile court cases are never easy to navigate. In many situations, adults must take matters into their own hands. This is a big responsibility, considering that a child's future is at stake. Luckily, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Conti & Levy are always available to help. These Torrington, CT-based attorneys offer families sound advice and counsel whenever they're handling a juvenile case.

Many juvenile court cases are complicated matters that call a child's future into question. For this reason, it's important to know who has access to court records that detail the case. Here's who can access the information:

• Criminal Defense Attorneys: As one would expect, the attorney who represented the child has access to the records. The attorney may review them for any purpose that is relevant. So, if the information within the records pertains to another case, the attorney is free to access them.
• Parents Or Guardians: If the child is younger than 18, his or her parent or guardian can also access information about court proceedings.
• Adults Or Emancipated Children: If the child charged with the crime is 18 years of age or emancipated, he or she has full access to the court records.
• Child Protection Employees: Access is also granted to those who work in child protective services should they see fit to use information from the court records in their case files.
