For the better part of nine months, David Frank and his firm represented us in a lawsuit over a real estate dispute that became very contentious. Having no prior experience with legal issues - despite numerous real estate transactions - we were truly lucky to have engaged David to represent us. He and his staff kept us fully apprised throughout and worked diligently to expedite the process. David exemplified professionalism yet recognized the benefits of levity. Many thanks to the Frank Law Group for their efforts on our behalf!

Laura Strasser is a wonderful attorney. She helped me through an extremely stressful and difficult divorce. I am grateful for her caring nature during the times that were emotional and for her strength and knowledge when she needed to stand up and fight for me. I would highly recommend Laura and her team.

I am so thankful that I hired Zachary Merliss from Cohen Defense group. He was amazing. He handled my case with care and complete skill. He was always available if I had a question. Zachary was proficient in dealing with several different assistant DA's. He was knowledgeable about the law and what Law Enforcement tries to get away with. I am so grateful for his carefully thought out plan of defense, four different events and Zachary was spot on every time, with a plan of action. I cant thank him enough. Five stars Lynn G

Wade Law Group’s handling of my business partnership dispute was a disaster from start to finish. I sought their help when I was being pushed out and needed to recover my equity. Despite providing all the necessary documentation upfront, including the operating agreement and financial statements, their incompetence quickly became apparent. For seven weeks, my attorney at Wade Law Group engaged in fruitless exchanges, sending threatening letters based on California law and drafting a lawsuit complaint. Only after all this time did I discover that my attorney hadn’t even read the operating agreement—a crucial document in any partnership dispute. This neglect led us to almost violate the agreement by bypassing mandatory mediation and filing the lawsuit in the wrong state. Predictably, my former business partner exploited these errors, leaving me with a much weakened case and a significant financial loss. After incurring over five figures in legal fees, I made the decision to terminate our relationship. I requested a meeting to discuss the situation, but my attorney not only ignored my request but also responded rudely when I followed up. Eventually, the firm’s owner reached out and offered a partial refund for drafting the complaint in the wrong state. However, the amount he offered was far less than what I had actually been billed, forcing me to go line by line through the invoices and finding the correct amount was five times higher than what he claimed. I then posted a review of my experience on Yelp, and the owner reached out and offered me a full refund of over $8K in exchange for removing the review and signing a contract agreeing not to post additional reviews about my experience with the firm. When I pointed out that this felt unethical and possibly illegal and proposed that I edit the review to give credit for the refund, he withdrew the offer, falsely claiming that I had rejected it.

These people are rude. And they can't read. I set up a consultation with them, but they canceled before even talking to me and told me that my trial is in three weeks when it's not. They didn't read anything about it, have the nerve to not even meet with me or have a discussion, followed with "best of luck on everything" which is just more insulting, absolutely insulting. i am sorry I called.

Worst lawyers ever. They let a whole year go by and never sent my husband to the doctors or anything. They had my email , his email, my number , his number , including our home address and we’d call for updates and they’d always say everything is going great if they needed anything they’d call us. After a year they dropped our case for “no communication”. And then told us they had the wrong number on file. Now we’re struggling to fight a car accident case because of how long it has been.

We hired his firm for a simple defense and Rodney was assigned. He did absolutely nothing for us for a year and a half. We finally ended up switching to a public defender and we got what we were asking for all along, in one court date. Don’t waste your money on this guy who will drag your case out forever, just to get more money from you.

So I usually do not write reviews however when I do the establishment or person went above and beyond my expectations. First off I hired Rodney as my attorney for a case back in 2019. Not only was Mr.Nosratabadi very professional he was also very knowledgeable with all the legal ramifications associated with my case. Not only did he reduce my charge he worked timelessly with the courts and myself to do everything possible. I was very satisfied with his service and I am sure you will be as well. I do not wish for anyone to ever come in contact with the law. But like myself I used Rodney and he came through for me. He goes through every Avenue and when I lost hope he never did. Thank you Rodney!!!!

I've worked with Rodney and his partner, Reza, for some time now - Rodney is one of the most caring attorneys I've ever met. He is extremely responsive. When you speak with him you can tell right away that he truly cares about his clients - he always goes above and beyond. I appreciate most that he never beats around the bush. He will always be upfront with you. I trust him and you should too. I highly recommend him and his firm!

I was very satisfied and thankful for the service Jessie Duran was able to provide for me. Im going to begin with the fact that i actually had the opportunity to compare his service to that of a previously hired lawyer who was not able to do anything for me, therefore replaced him/her. Jessie Duran gets in there and does not settle, he actually looks out for you in every aspect necessary when in that court room. I would highly recommend him as your next defense attorney.

We were looking randomly online for a lawyer for my daughter who had felonies charges and Jesse Duran name appeared and we gave him a call. He talked to my husband and daughter and explained to them about her case. We hired him and he got to work on my daughter case. When she was feeling down Jesse reassure he was going to do his best and that is exactly what he did. He got all the charges dropped against her!! Thank God for Jesse, without him my daughter wouldn’t be with us today. I strongly recommend Jesse if you ever get in a bad situation and facing jail time or prison Jesse will fight for you!!! Jesse Duran is a very professional lawyer that will stand by and fight for his client. Jesse is the lawyer you will want and need.. I appreciate everything you done for my daughter and us..100% The Best in my book!!

Jesse P. Duran is the best lawyer who will take all cases seriously and takes charge to get cases dismissed and settled. He represented me and he saved my life from an unusual case where my siblings sent me to jail for their own good. Pressing criminal charges against me for something that could of been talk through as a family. Mr. Duran heard my story and he knew the right people who also helped me get this case dismissed immediately. Thank you so much Mr. Duran!!!! I highly recommend Mr. Jesse P.

Got into a bicycle vs car mishap resulting in a few nights in the ICU thus hospital bills mounted in the low 6 figures. Shopping around for legal counsel led me to attorney and fellow cyclist Richard Duquette who was highly recommended in the local cycling community.  Duquette's cohesive team worked hard on my behalf and his generational experience helped navigate and apply aggressive negotiations with the respective parties.  His firm was able to get me the maximum recovery so I could recover without the added stress of paying hospital bills over the next decade.  Very personable team, would highly recommend.

I called the law offices this afternoon and left a message requesting advice about a family member’s DUI from 20 years ago. Not only did Richard call me back himself within 15 minutes, but he gave me free legal advice with a path forward since the event happened out of state. He practices in CA not NYS. He was extremely knowledgeable, assessed the situation quickly, and gave sound advice. He suggested I complete a google search with specific criteria, which confirmed his advice was on point, and now we are on our way to a resolution! Thanks again. We will definitely be calling this office if we ever need an attorney in the future.

I called this office at a time of great stress. My first contact was Shoshannah (the office manager, whose professional and calm demeanor was very appreciated). Mr. Galambos then spent time with my family, letting us know what to expect and how to negotiate the best outcome through each step we faced. Not only was he helpful to us regarding outcome, but he was pleasant to speak with, and we left each interaction feeling calmer than we entered it. Our family's situation was relatively minor, but mishandling it could've made it a far bigger deal than necessary. Mr. Galambos's counsel allowed us to keep it as minor as we'd hoped.

I used John Hosford at Gillett Law for a very complicated divorce/custody matter with a uniquely difficult opposing party. This is my experience... There is an extreme amount of trust, and a giant leap of faith one must take in hiring an attorney. Hiring a lawyer in family law matters of this nature entails tying some of the most painful and difficult decisions of your life to another humans' skill set, and trusting that they can and will properly represent you during a time when it's hard to trust anyone. It involves handing over deeply personal intimate details, sometimes through scraping together the funds to access their help. It's a big deal, and that's why I'm writing this review. It's important to me to authentically share my experience as John Hosfords client in order to give prospective clients the insight to appreciate what a sound decision hiring this firm is. I aim to help alleviate worry and provide those reading this hope in a place where for me, there wasn't any before meeting my incredible attorney: I was forced to put everything I had into Mr. Hosfords hands due to the complexities of my case. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. My case was transferred from another county, I was beyond nervous to switch attorneys. John Hosford expertly handled the transition leaving my old attorney with nothing but complementary and encouraging things to say after she worked with him on the transfer. Once in SLO county, he was able to systematically free us from the oppressions and injustices of my situation. He repeatedly went above and beyond to ensure success. After this experience I can confidently say, you will not find this level of rectitude, legal nurturing, diligence, grit, and expert guidance anywhere else. I also quickly learned that despite his fierce presence, Mr. Hosford is deeply rooted in compassion, a savage yet professional protective nature, and judicial righteousness toward his clients. With his ability to swiftly apply judicial code, logic, and facts to the murkiness, confusion, and distractions generated by the other side, he was able to cut through the mess and render clean and clear resolution with unparalleled efficiency. He earned not just my respect, but that of the courtroom every time we had to appear. Every. Time. Beyond Mr. Hosfords incredibly adept legal skill and knowledge, there is not a dollar amount or unit of measurement one can put on the level of commitment, heart, and security Mr. Hosford and Gillett Law gives to their clients, it's not something they are required to do...they just do it. This seems like more than a business for this firm, it's a passion and a desire to help people that is firmly grounded in integrity. I found it comforting during a very scary process and learned that resolution can be achieved even in the most impossible situations with the right representation and guidance. Someone posted on a local blog somewhere "Hire John Hosford, watch your whole life change and get better..." and I'd like to steal it. Couldn't agree more.

We worked with Jody for an eviction case during Covid. He was to the point, quick to answer and easy to communicate. The ease of communication and quickness lasted all through the life of the case. However, there were several oversights, or little mistakes that cost us money and time. Also be aware Jody doesn't have an assistant or paralegal so you are still charged the higher attorney fee for the tasks that can be done by an assistant for a fraction of the price. Overall, we had a bittersweet taste and honestly Jody will not be our first preference if we have to work with an attorney for real estate issues again.

Never again will I hire this firm. My case was a few years ago but it was with this same firm and with Mr. Valencia himself. On the phone he mentioned good things like getting the best results for me possible and possibly getting the charges dropped. All good things you want to hear as a person searching for an attorney but that's not how it went. This guy showed up late to every single one of my court dates by half and or more. He pretty much just showed up to do what I was supposed to do, which is stand before the judge and respond to his requests. I have a prior criminal record so I wasn't expecting him to make magic but at least show up to my court date on time which he did not. All matters were called first who had attorneys but sure enough mine waited until he got there. I feel I would've gotten the same results without him for sure as he did very little communicating with the DA or anyone on the other side of the podium. To top it off on my last court date after not seeing him for over half an hour I called his firm and they informed me he was in redwood city helping someone else. Seriously not cool at all or professional. So they sent another attorney from his office but not until an hour and a half from when the court started. I'm not here to complain about my outcome from the court cause that was a separate issue but i am here to complain about the unprofessional relationship I had with Mr. Valencia and how I will never recommend or reach out to them again. So save your money or go elsewhere because I wasted $4000 for something I could've and should've done myself. Last but not least I think it's very unprofessional how in most of the reviews that are not favored to them they put the person on blast for the previous case they had with them. That's very rude, unprofessional and down right dirty. If they do not like the truth being put in the reviews then maybe they should not be practicing law and giving people false hope. So I won't be surprised if I see information about my case they handled on here based on the responses to reviews that aren't in their favor.

In November last year, based on online reviews, I started consulting with Riccardo. At the beginning, he was quite patient. I consulted several lawyers and eventually chose him based on online reviews and his claim during the consultation that there was a 99% chance of winning the case. I felt relieved to leave the case to him. However, after we paid him, he stopped communicating and never proactively kept in touch. At first, I thought my case was not a big deal until I was charged and realized the seriousness of the situation. I spent money consulting another lawyer online, who advised me to write a character letter and resume before being charged, which could have helped. But Riccardo never asked me to do anything besides providing basic materials. He was also unwilling to communicate proactively, and I didn't dare to keep asking him questions. Whenever I had questions, they were relayed through his assistant. Throughout this period, he didn't inform me of what he was doing, and I had no idea about his actions until my case became more severe. He didn't help me much during the whole process and even made excuses, saying the DA was too young to understand family difficulties, which made me feel he was very unprofessional. I had trusted him because he claimed to have 30 years of experience. After my case resulted in a conviction, I didn't disrespect him until a week ago when I asked if he could attend court on that day. He agreed, and I was very grateful. But today, when I asked him, he angrily told me he was very busy. He could have refused me or informed me earlier. Instead, he made a lot of excuses. I swear that this person is really unprofessional, and I even doubt if those positive reviews about him are real. I know that when someone makes a mistake and needs professional help, they might go online and look at reviews. If you don't want to waste your time and risk losing your case, you really need to be cautious and not rely solely on ratings. From my experience, sometimes they are not reliable. This is my personal experience working with this person, and I hope to share it with those who need help. I fully understand your feelings, but it's crucial to be careful when choosing a lawyer.

Posting this review that was sent to Tiffany Andrews following completion of our service. This was never posted on her firm's website. We are writing to provide an objective review of our experience with Tiffany Andrews and her mediation services. Although Tiffany was pleasant to work with, our overall assessment is that the services provided were average. We were disappointed that we never had the opportunity to meet her in person, despite multiple trips to her office. During our case, we couldn't help but notice that the handling of our mediation proceedings resembled that of a general contractor overseeing a construction project. We encountered unexpected changes in Tiffany's team, with members coming and going without prior notice. This lack of consistency had a noticeable impact on the process and left us feeling unsettled. Another area of concern was the significant disparity between our original cost estimate and the final bill. The cost nearly doubled, which was unexpected and disappointing. Our mediation and divorce proceedings were minimal in complexity, as stated by Tiffany herself. Considering the simplicity of the case, we had hoped for more streamlined and cost-effective services. Throughout the process, there were instances where communication and continuity seemed lacking. We often had to repeat information from one meeting to the next, resulting in frustration and delays. It would have been more efficient and productive if there had been better coordination and a stronger sense of continuity between sessions. In summary, while Tiffany Andrews and her team were pleasant to work with, there are clear areas for improvement. Enhancing client expectation management, addressing cost transparency, and ensuring consistent communication and continuity throughout the mediation process would greatly benefit Tiffany and her team. These learning opportunities could elevate the quality of their services, providing clients with a more satisfactory experience. Tom and Naomi

Quiero recomendar a la abogada Navarro y la firma Fontes. Yo llegue a ella gracias a recomendación de mi sobrina a quien le ayudo a ganar un caso de custodia. Yo estaba atravesando un proceso complicado de divorcio en el cuál había muchas implicaciones/agresiones por parte de mi ex esposa el cual se estaba alargando más de lo deseado. Yo comencé el proceso con un paralegal por "barato" sin saber que lo barato me saldría más caro. En cuanto llegue con la abogada Navarro se notó su experiencia, profesionalidad y educación. Ella y su equipo me guiaron paso a paso durante el proceso, me mantuvieron informado de cada avance en el caso y contestaban mis dudas. Cabe destacar que la srita Gali fue quien estuvo en contacto conmigo y me escucho y resolvia todas mis dudas y me guio, cuándo la abogada no podía hacerlo directamente y siempre lo hizo de una manera profesional y amistosa. El día de la audiencia me sentí ampliamente representado por la abogada y gracias a ella, su experiencia y su guía legal pudimos llegar a un acuerdo en mediación y finalizar el divorcio. Estoy sumamente agradecido con la abogada y su equipo. 100% recomiendo a la Abogada Navarro y su gran equipo para quien este pasando por un caso legal difícil. Quiero recalcar que si estas en un proceso de divorcio no acudas a lugares baratos, solo te hacen perder tiempo y dinero y esas personas no te asesoran en absolutamente nada legal.

This whole law firm is amazing. Not only my attorney Amanda Moran, but her whole team has been nothing but incredible. It all started with my first phone call. Following my meeting with Amanda and seeing in person how much she truly cares in her clients justice. On countless occasions, Amanda was there for me after hours, she was physically and emotionally dedicated to my case. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. The Moran law firm is truly one of a kind I felt like family from the very beginning and still to this day. They are committed as a whole team and will work together to get justice. Amanda has not only won justice for me once but three times as the CPS system found it necessary to file an appeal after an appeal to try to keep this little girl from her family. If it wasn’t for this law firm and their incredible integrity the CPS system would have wrongfully kept my niece and not placed her home with me where she belongs. It has truly been a privilege having this team behind me throughout this journey, I will forever be grateful.

Wow guess you have to have a certain type of case worth millions I guess but thank you for pointing out that unless our cases are worth a boat load of money you won’t take them on but as a lawyer your supposed to have some kind of ethics right “like no man left behind” type of deal no case to small as long as someone breaking the law needs to be brought to justice or something of that nature guess not I guess times are changing only big money cases are considered worthy cases well thank you for not taking my case!

I was violently beaten while holding my child and left covered in bruises from head to toe in San Mateo county at 71 larkspur Ave in Daly City CA in 2015. Later that same year the same man who left me covered in bruises shot another man in Napa county and they sent me to prison for it while he got away as the victim. The sheriff's department set up flash bang after me and the others were already in custody and then they asked the neighbors if they herd gun shots just so they could add it in their report even though there was no actual witness

All, I unequivocally recommend Cate Beekman as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Beekman post haste. Why? Ms. Beekman is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me), as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues – even if based on first impression - is first-class. When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information – distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area such as Napa, CA where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough in Ms. Beekman. She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically. Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone’s situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Ms. Beekman’s representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What’s more, if it matters, I am an attorney myself, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like). Ms. Beekman represented me in a matter (that in my opinion had no merit). She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well. First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of “getting even”. Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf. Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor. To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and “bet the case” (your tenuous position) – Ms. Beekman is who you should go with immediately.

It was 3 o'clock on a holiday week. We needed a lawyer in Napa and found Cate Beekman. She was incredibly professional and helpful, providing a much-needed sense of calm in a potentially scary situation. I would recommend Cate to anyone looking for legal help in a criminal matter. In the event that I might need help again, she will be my first call.

I am very pleased with the letter my attorney wrote to the HOA. He returns calls. He is very concerned and helpful. There are still some kinks we will have to work out, however I do have a lot of confidence they will be taken care of.

I was in a panic state and contacted Timothy after hours on a Friday night, he returned my call within an hour or less. Before I committed to hiring him he gave me legal recommendations. It was a matter regarding my minor son and involved his school. Timothy listened to us and worked to put a legal strategy in place, the matter lasted about three month, he represented my son at an administrative hearing at the school and although this type of case was somewhat new to him he was able to research the procedures and regulations involving this type of hearing. I was especially impressed with his defense skills at the administrative hearing at the school district. With his skills and help we were able to win the case.

I needed legal representation for some property settlement issues stemming from a divorce.   When I called Tim's office he was respectful and came across as confident but not cocky.  After I went to his office to discuss my situation in more detail, he devised a strategy for us to follow.  He ultimately convinced the other attorney to drop the case so I was able to avoid going to court and/or have to pay out some kind of settlement. The bottom line is the desired outcome was achieved. Tim was not only effective, but he was also conscientious about containing costs.  If any of my family or friends need an attorney I would feel comfortable referring them to Tim.

When choosing a family law attorney, some say the best way to find a good one is to meet with them in person and see how you feel. You may have found the right attorney if you feel confident and trusted. My first interaction with Attorney Morgan Montoya exceeded my greatest expectations. I immediately felt supported and felt well taken care of. I truly believe that my best interest was at the forefront. She is caring, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Attorney Montoya was very thorough and professional. Selecting a great family law attorney may be one of the most important decisions you may need to make. Her expertise in family law and knowledge of the process was admirable. I have worked with several attorneys in the past 20 years. I have to say that Attorney Morgan Montoya instantly made me feel seen and heard from our very first interactions more than any other attorney I have ever known. She is very warm and caring. She listened attentively and immediately sought information regarding my case. I highly recommend Attorney Morgan Montoya for all of your Family Law needs.

After contacting this law firm several times, I decided to go in for a consultation. Klarich, kept asking about the $250 Consultation Fee, multiple times and it was really annoying. Finally the day comes to consult at his office in Tustin, CA. The first thing he ask, guess what, yep the consultation fee. $250, this guy must not get a lot of action, because of the constant request of the $250. Now in all fairness he may have looked up the case info in regards to the History of Retained Attorneys and like all dishonest attorneys do, the lie. So previous attorneys would promise certain things and if they do not deliver then they are not getting paid. Like the 1st Attorney of Record was given $28,000 but requested $80,000 on Amended Charges and then this attorney had purposely colluded with the District Attorney and then we had fired him, then the next time in front of a Judge, he files a motion to withdraw and the Judge said, I do not think so, it was solely up to us to keep the attorney but who wants a sellout, so we let the attorney withdraw and he refunded $5000 for us to obtain another attorney. My stock portfolio reflects an earning of $250 every 20 minutes of an 8 hour day. This guy Klarich gets all stoked of $250, that shows me where his mindset is. He is researching and possibly even calling previous attorney's and checking the record so he considers this being protective but the truth is, that is all this guy thinks about, money, if he would have spent more time focused on the issues at hand we may have moved forward with this firm, besides it was the partner's son who I was more interested in and they give us this guy who is a total know it all but truthfully does not know much about the appellant process, yeah maybe general stuff but even I know that, but everything he said in reference to our questions was nothing new that we didn't already know. Also, since attorney's may look at the History of Cases, it would be only fair to look up the attorney's record or how many successful appeals an attorney may have and after the consultation, I did just that and for the amount of confidence he had shown does not reflect much in his success in the appellant courts realm but then again, not even the best of attorney's have any type of a successful record, but that is the nature of the beast in the appellant world.

So Happy that I made the decision to contact Wallin & Klarich to help me in dealing with my past legal issues. Over the past decade I have worked hard to change and have been successful in doing so. But there has always been that cloud hanging over my head. You cant run from your past-but Mr. Klarich sat down with me and my wife personally and explained how the system worked. His office was welcoming, and his assistants and associates were always there by email and telephone when the paperwork trail seemed endless. Court rooms had always been a negative experience in my past, but thanks to Wallin & Klarich my last court room appearance had me standing tall. i was able to prove to the courts that I am indeed the changed man that my friends and co-workers know me to be. I walked out of the court room with a Certificate of Rehabilitation and that means the world to me. It will open doors that have been closed to me in the past -doors that have not only been closed legally but also in my own mind. Thank you so much!

This is One of my hardest Situations I have ever been in , in my life, and without Lorraine’s availability and compassion this would be the definition of misery. I know her case load is large, which makes me appreciate all the extra time I have received. She has taught me much great knowledge about how to react in the courtroom, how to discuss current issues with social workers, and how to deal with a contested hearing.

I was involved in a dog bite incident in which my lower lip was partial bitten off. I did not want to get involved with any law suites and I figured with two reputable insurance companies involved there would be a fair outcome to get my lip fixed, but that was not the case. I was forced to get professional help and I hired Jordan Maurer, Jordan and his assistant Natalie are an excellent team. They walked me through every step of the process, they were professional, ethical and compassionate to my situation. The settled the case with an outcome I felt was fair and reasonable for all parties involved. I would highly recommend them.

No one wants to be in an auto accident or have to go through the hassle of dealing with insurance companies. Working with Jordan Maurer and his team made this experience so much less stressful. From beginning to end, everything was handled with genuine care and attention. Natalie made sure I was informed every step of the way. And Jordan dealt with the insurance company so I didn’t have to. Jordan and his team helped make a really unpleasant experience so much better and negotiated a more-than-fair settlement.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
