The attorney should have the knowledge of law when defending juveniles in such criminal matters since it is related to minors. They may have to represent the best interests of the minor as well in civil or criminal proceedings. Such an attorney must also know about the family law to perform adequately. When it is the matter of juvenile crimes the attorney must have an understanding about the way how legal system works in case of minors. Many juvenile lawyers work extensively and have also developed contacts and relationships with the judges, court administrators, and law enforcement. Having this type of juvenile attorney works in the best interest of the minor when they are looking forward to putting off juvenile crime charges. 

​

Juvenile attorneys must also have some knowledge about social work and psychology since such cases are full of highly charged emotions most of the times and will involve teenage defendants often. While handling the teenagers it will help if the attorney has a good experience dealing with kids. They must be able to settle down any tough situations quickly. He or she should be able to connect with adolescents, must be able to explain the things happening at the court, and what are they charged with. Either the family or the government is responsible for the payment of such an attorney. If the government is taking care of the fees the attorney will be appointed by the court and government chooses the attorney in such cases.
