The Only Board-Certified Juvenile Law Specialists in Private Practice in Jacksonville, Florida

When a child is arrested, everything happens fast—and it can feel like the system is stacked against you from the start. The rules are different than adult court, there is no bond, and one mistake can follow your child for years.

At Plata Schott Law, juvenile defense is not a side practice. It is a core focus of our firm.

Attorneys Belkis Plata and Shannon Schott are the only Florida Bar Board-Certified Specialists in Juvenile Law in private practice in Jacksonville, Florida. That means your child’s case is handled by lawyers who have:

• Tried dozens of juvenile cases to verdict

• Passed a rigorous board certification exam in juvenile law

• Been vetted by judges and peers for competence, ethics, and professionalism

When your child is in trouble, you don’t need a lawyer who “also does juvenile.” You need a team built for it.
