JUVENILE COURT OFFERS ATTORNEY HELP DESK 

Summit County Juvenile Court Judge Linda Tucci Teodosio announced today that beginning Wednesday, March 19^th, the Court will offer The Attorney Help Desk. It is designed to assist the public with specific areas of the juvenile justice process. The Help Desk will be available every Wednesday from 1pm until 4pm. The public must come to the William P. Kannel Juvenile Court Center at 650 Dan Street and sign in at the front desk of the main lobby.  

Local attorneys have agreed to staff the Help Desk. The fees to provide this service are generated through the Court’s Special Projects fund. The attorneys will offer assistance on the completion of forms such as Grandparent Affidavits, Petitions for Change of Legal Custody, Preparations of Subpoenas and Precipes for Service of Process and will do so at no charge to the public.  

“I have been very encouraged by the response we have received from the attorneys who are willing to participate in this program,” said Judge Teodosio. “We realize how difficult it is to navigate through the juvenile justice system without the benefit of an attorney and we believe the Help Desk can offer the public an option that before now was unavailable to them. We hope the Help Desk becomes a staple of the kind of services the Court offers.”
