Juvenile courts focus exclusively on cases involving minors under the age of 18. These cases range from delinquency matters and dependency issues to adoption and truancy cases. The goal of juvenile courts is often rehabilitative rather than punitive, aiming to give young individuals the opportunity for reform and growth.
Juvenile courts in Maricopa County are handled as part of the Superior Court system. Significant juvenile court locations include:
Address: 3131 W. Durango St., Phoenix, AZ 85009
Address: 1810 S. Lewis St., Mesa, AZ 85210
Dealing with juvenile law requires an attorney who understands both the legal landscape and the delicate approach necessary for working with minors and their families. Ciccarelli Law Offices is deeply committed to advocating for juveniles and helping them create a brighter future.

Keith Garver
Simply put Lee was amazing. He not only handled my case in a completely professional manner but also showed a genuine concern for my situation. Not many attorneys reach out on a personal level but Lee Ciccarelli does. His commitment to serving the community sets him apart from other attorneys and I would highly recommend the Ciccarelli law office to anyone.
Verlin Short
The most capable and compassionate law firm out there. Julia was an impeccable attorney and an amazing person on top of that. Lee Ciccarelli promised they would fight for my family as if it were his own and he lived up to that ! They had my son by the balls with the evidence and his admission of guilt, he was looking at 26 years up state. They got him a 2yrs less 1day sentence in county. It was a miracle. Lee delivered on his promise, they fought and fought hard. Julia was our attorney and she was and still is incredible. Not just a great attorney, but an even greater human being. We talked regularly, she walked us down every possible path. We shared a lot of moments emotionally over this case, it’s complexity and it’s outcome. If this were Groundhog Day and kept repeating, I’d never change my attorney. Julia also made sure she was always available and even now, a year and a half later, she still checks in on him as she did in county! Lee Ciccarelli has the most compassionate team of attorneys and they don’t play in the court room either. Money well spent, this is my law firm of choice, we love these people!!!
Tedd Keller
I highly recommend Ciccarelli Law Offices. Julia is the absolute best, and never stopped working and fighting for our family.

Jeff Simon
We would highly recommend Ciccarelli Law Firm. Lee drove back early from his vacation to meet with us initially. represented us in court, she did a fantastic job, she fought very hard to get us the absolute best possible outcome to a unique case. She was available at all times to answer any questions we had. She explained everything to us every step of the way, always compassionate and understanding. We cannot thank her enough. It was money well spent.
Sam B.
This law office worked my case well and made sure they did everything to assist me in getting a great outcome. If you listen to their advice, it will be to your best benefit. My attorney had a "No BS" approach and always gave it to me without any room for misinterpreting what I hired them for. Even after the case, they still assisted me in getting case details squared away. I would highly recommend this firm.
El Bee
Your professionalism and basic concern for my son turned an unhappy event into a valuable and meaningful experience. My hope is to be able to recommend your firm with highest praise. We are thrilled with your expert representation and extraordinary results. Thank you immensely!
