Terri Martin is an Angel. She walked me through a tough situation in a lawsuit that was haunting me for years. Finally came to terms with the person and solved the issue. But the fact that Terri listened and help me understand the process was a blessing.
The world needs more of Terri. What an amazing person. To face a crisis and know that somone is willing to listen and guide you through the unknown is hard to find nowadays.

I chose this firm based on reviews from their website. Sadly, my experience has been nothing short of terrible. I racked up over 15k in bills in 8 weeks. I asked for more transparency in what had been done because I saw NOTHING. Still little communication back. I analyzed the invoices closely and found fraudulent tracking from their time on client calls compared to my phone records. If they falsified that they falsify the rest.
I’ve asked for my file and 6 days later I’m still waiting. With 15k deep it should be more than ready.
What a terrible law firm. I wish I would have chosen a practice that defended their clients rather than exploit them.
Use someone else!

Which mango said bibcould have prevented jf I signed the deal ... I refused because I was innocent... But Mr. mango was like well this so how about we add like 800 deposit on a 10k bond and a whole day amd half lost to the county jail... Thanks mango you sure we're sweell ⅝

Mr. Gray was recommended to me through a friend that had a really tough case and thanks to Mr. Gray expertise and knowledge his case was approved. My case wasn't as complicated as my friend's but it wasn't easy.
Unfortunately before I hired Mr. Gray I had another lawyer that gave me the worst possible service and I almost lost my citizenship.
When I came to Mr. Gray I was hopeless but he lifted my spirits, just his voice and demeanor alone made me feel hopeful. I hired him and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the start he was attentive, and knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. He guided me through the entire process with patience and clarity, making sure I understood each step. Thanks to his expertise, my case was approved, and I'm incredibly grateful for his support. I highly recommend Gray Law to anyone in need of an excellent immigration lawyer!

Thank heaven for David! He came out within a couple days and provided the initial service and scheduled our next visit for next month.

Having to deal with courts and attorneys is a stressful situation in itself. Not only does The Law Office of Jovanni S. Garcia send you courtesy text message on your upcoming court dates etc the friendly staff are always welcoming. Stopping their lunch break to answer questions are the little things to expect from The Law Office of Jovanni S. Garcia.
Words can't describe the gratitude respect I have for Mr. Garcia! This man is amazing, from juggling multiple hearings and keeping his word on him showing up in person standing side by side with you in court means the world to someone in need. I tip my hat to you sir!
"Shine" your the best too!

My case was settled, don’t know if it was because of her, I don’t think it was because of her. I would not recommend this establishment at all. Very nice spoken employees but very difficult to get a hold of the actual attorney, receptionist gives me different information. My money just went bye bye and I only saw her in person including courts once or twice. Very vague information received. I feel used and deceived. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND ASK QUESTIONS.

I'm thrilled to have found Attorney Miguel! As a new client, I've been impressed by his professionalism and dedication. Unlike my previous attorney, who only seemed interested in collecting fees without delivering results, Miguel genuinely cares about his clients and their cases. He takes the time to listen, understand, and review every detail, working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, immigration attorney Yasmin, who sent me to him, I was told,'You'll be in good hands', and indeed I am! Miguel is a truly exceptional lawyer, a breath of fresh air in the legal profession!

Went to her back in March of 2021 and she wanted a $2,500 retainer fee a couple of days later she called and said that due to the circumstances of the case, she would need another $2,500. She told me it would take about 3 months for my divorce. Today, 12-20-2021, 8 months after she told me it would take about 3 months, I called her office and was told that she no longer works out of that office and was given a new phone number for her.
I called her new number and i had to repeat my first and last name to the person who answered the phone about 5 times and was told afterwords that they would get back to me also sounded like either her daughter or some high school kid doing part time work answering the phones.
one got back to me and this was approximately 6 hours after i called to find out about my divorce case status. Very unprofessional and over expensive, but even though i have not gotten any updates on my divorce status, I have gotten invoices for services rendered which have been none, except taking my money!!!!!

Finding a lawyer can be very difficult, especially one with morals, and ethics, that genuinely cares about their clients, and works hard to get the job done. Derraugh is the whole package. She is timely and hardworking, I swear she never sleeps! If you’ve got a high conflict custody case or a difficult divorce she is the lawyer for you. Her knowledge of family law is unsurpassed. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could, truly. She also really cares about her clients as people, she is positive and reassuring. And yes….she definitely wins her cases. She has honestly been a blessing to my life and I can’t say that enough. If you’re looking for a caring, knowledgeable lawyer who gets the job done she is definitely the lawyer for you!

Ms Dawson has worked with me for four years now, and in this time period she has made every effort to be as helpful and efficient as possible. She has made a tremendous difference in my life. She is experienced and hard working, and makes so much extra effort that I don’t think many lawyers would. She genuinely cares for her clients. The best quality Derraugh has is her honesty. I know for a fact that had it not been for her I would be homeless and penniless today.

Had to call several times. They have a message option however they won't return calls on messages which just intensities thre stressful situation.
So before you call and are on hold for almost 3 hours, yes 3 hours, please note they will not help anyone unless you're being evicted. Yep, enough their website lists many other subjects.
Oh and lily is in desperate need of customer service training courses.

Great experience with Mr. Antill. Fast response, to the point and on time. In regards of the tickets myself and my family members have gotten in the past, he has been able to dismiss 95% of them and make favorable arrangements for the rest for more than a dozen in the past 8 years. I will recommend him to anyone.

Anthill was recommended to us by a former client that was very satisfied. He did a great job for us despite having to deal with a teenager still under the influence of both substance abuse and a volatile teen love affair. He handled it all quite professionally.
My son didn't get off scot-free and probably received the same sentence a public defender could have gotten him. Then again, he was guilty of the charge and not in the least cooperative in his defense.
Mr. Anthill was always available, returned calls and arrived promptly in court. What Mr. Anthill did provide, in this instance, was taking the time to explain to us what was happening, getting a plea with the DA ahead of time and saving us time in court by having an attorney. I think his price was worth what he provided.

He is by far no 5 star lawyer,, that is false. Richard Sax is nothing but a crook,, who overcharges his clients for things he doesn't do to defend you. My experience with this man was embarrassing when it came time to defend me. He babbled about taking the deal I was offered and in front of everyone he raised his voice telling me I was a drug abuser and put me down suggesting I was at fault when he was suppose to be defending me. He was fired directly after our conference with the other attorney wasting a year of my time making false statements to me saying how he would fight for me when he does nothing but get red in the face and flustered when put on the spot. He will not defend you,, he pushes off court dates and drags it on and on,, to make money off his clients. He is an embarrassment to have as your lawyer. I don't think he is capable of doing his job. You van do better defending yourself as he does nothing you ask,, always disagrees and does only what he wants n does not care about his clients at all. He will charge you for many things and then lose your case that's the truth. Stay away from this crook. I've never had a lawyer who is so stupid. I've watched him do the same thing to peeps I've net n known for years as he ripped them off and lost each case I've heard of threw his clients. Somebody should stop him from cheating people out of their money and time. He can't even defend himself for his lame actions. Dirtbag lawyer in my opinion. Fact

Richard may have been a good attorney once - I now think he doesn’t care about his clients. Everything here is my opinion, personal feelings or facts of the case.
A person is using restraining orders to stalk me. Desperate to recover my life, I reluctantly sought a protective order. I told Richard I only want to proceed if he was certain we’d win; he was pretty sure we could. After 2 years extreme PTSD, I gathered up last savings, paid his retainer. A huge step for me just to be in the courtroom with my abuser.
We agreed to hiring a process server. His office called, insisted I find a friend to serve process or we’d miss filing date. High anxiety for me, never did get her served. I informed Richard, he said I’d wanted to be “near her.” First red flag for sure. Should have fired him then and there.
He refused to become familiar with the prior case, could not convince him to be prepared. He not being conversant cost us dearly. In the courtroom, he was a complete greenhorn.
My stalker took my claims and filed her own restraining order. Richard was unreachable - even his office doesn’t know how to reach him. When he finally responded, he said nothing new here - of course, it was my exact language!
My stalker charged at me on the beach screaming and cussing. I couldn’t prove it, then lo, she brought in video which did. The video showed she lay in wait and images further contradicted her own Declaration. She lied 2x. Richard couldn’t win with that.
My own witness described being harassed by my stalker 2x, followed out of the market by my ex with fists raised, spittle flying. She feared for her own safety and underwent six weeks of panic attacks. A County Supervisor’s wife, no less! Richard couldn’t win with that.
My ex’s argument for running a stop sign to hit me was there were places I could have pulled over. I said I did pull over, her fool attorney just repeated himself. She did not deny the violent attack with a motor vehicle.
Richard told me he’d won restraining orders just because someone gave someone the “bird”. I personally find it aggressive and yet my stalker proudly admitted it. Richard did not win.
Richard presented his bill as if he’d won the case, a full 25% over his rate. The whole courtroom seem embarrassed as this doddering man was fully out of step with the proceedings.
Ex and I were in the same restaurant together, no restraining orders issued. I never approached her, I never saw her. Oddly, my ex describes her own fixated behavior taking photos of me backwards over her shoulder, which photos contradict her own claims. Judge said ex gasped when she saw me, therefore deserves a 5 year restraining order against me, even though her testimony and declarations contradicted! I’m further entrapped by this person I only dated 1.5 years and want nothing more than to be left alone, worse off than before I’d met Richard.
He failed to object, despite being asked, to the other attorney’s highly inflated fees, costing me an additional $5,000. I was suffering from PTSD so badly I couldn’t earn income. One word, object, would have done it.
Richard’s invoice came in 3x over his quote, though no change in scope, venue, or the anticipated contention of opposing party, less work than promised, was unconversant.
Entitled to copies of exhibits, Richard failed to request real-time, then refused to get them for me. Basic stuff. I feared I may have to move from my home. Richard quipped, “I think we did a pretty good job.” Really?
She continues to stalk me. There’s nothing I can do, I’m disabled, terrorized, afraid to go out. COVID may have a single upside - I’ve been left alone more, and can finally get my head around what happened and write this review.
It is my view that Richard Sax does not care about his clients, cases, profession. He struck me as lazy, uninformed, unresourceful, unskilled. He got me into far worse territory than I was. I highly recommend avoiding -

After fighting foreclosure on my own for years by raising legal challenges it was time to turn it over to a professional. Knowing that most homeowners lose I needed the best attorney possible because I couldn't lose my home of thirty years. After much research on Google scholar it was narrowed down to three or four attorneys or law firms in Northern California based on repeated success for homeowners against the banks. One stood out not only for having a published opinion but also because I'd hired him years earlier to successfully represent me in a partnership dispute and that was Richard Sax.
He has all the qualities that you want in an attorney. He's a sharp and experienced litigator who's driven to win and respected by the courts and the opposition. He's also honest and wants the best result for his clients. His communication skills are excellent, he listens and works with the client and always promptly responds to emails which I understand is kind of unusual.
There aren't that many attorneys willing to go up against big business and the banks on the behalf of the little guy but this is something at which Sax excels. Foreclosure litigation is complex involving multiple areas of the law and he is experienced in them all.
Making his representation even more effective his practice includes highly regarded real estate attorney, William Matz. His paralegals and staff are always cordial and helpful and this means a lot in something as nerve wracking as fighting a financial institution trying to take your home.
His successful representation has prevented my home from being foreclosed on and I give him the highest possible recommendation.

Since feb 2018 she will find a way to charge the hell out of you with no results what so ever in federal court. Her pleading are the worse i have seen in a long time. Absolutely horriable i have nothing but facts on top of facts with affidavits to prove much fraud. She wont get anything in by a dead line, she wont represent you she probably make a deal with the defendents and leavr her client out to dry. She even try to take crrdit for galskis case but whay she did was get the whole case dismissed. The only rrason why galski had a chance is went to appeal with different attorney. I asked her many times during our time since febuary i stated to her you do not rrpresent me very well at all. You do not have any fight for your client. She was in it to take as much from me get the case dismissed because she will not do pleadings or deadlines well at all. After sometime she will ask do you know anyone that go go to sale date and short the pre tender lender, all this she states after you give her thousand and thousands of dollars. She is in it for the money not for the client for wrongful forclosure, forclosure defense. If you are looking for an attorney for foclosure defense to take your money and have your case dismissed hire catarina office. Absolutely disgusting job , no fight , and will ask you to take a modification agreement 1.5 times more than your original payment from your pre tender lender debt collector servicer. Im here to fight so that is what we will do until these corrupt people banks, servicer, judges, and attorneys are held accountble period. Ron

I was in need of legal services and was referred to Catarina Benitez. I found her to be friendly, knowledgeable and "real". She was very accessible and professional and she conveyed the law process in an easily understandable manner. Through her efforts I was able to come to a favorable closure to my situation. Should I need legal representation in the future I will definitely be calling her again.

Esther has to be the most straightforward, honest and hardworking lawyer I’ve ever had / met in my life. I was facing another strike with 2 prior felonies on my record, one being a violent strike and Esther was able to handle my case EXTREMELY fast which she was able to get all charges dropped / dismissed. After many nights of stressing out, worried about catching a charge on my record which could have ruined my life, I can now sleep comfortably knowing that I’m able to continue to be a contributing member of society.
Thank you Esther for being so caring and honest during my entire case!

We called Mr. Mayfield for an important and urgent matter that needed immediate attention. You can tell he's an attorney who makes himself available without asking too many questions first. I was able to speak to him on first call and he spent over 20 minutes covering all the issues and possibilities of the situation. We followed his sound advice and everything went well. I called him back to thank him and he offered to help further if/when necessary. His conversations are smooth and pleasurable without any rush or complication. Thank you Mr. Mayfield

Just very expensive and bad handling of the case. I am not a citizen and I was accused of DV. I came to know of Mr Mayfield from an immigration lawyer. In the very first meeting, when we did not have the police report or any evidence I was told straight that I will have to plead guilty and that I will certainly lose the trial no matter what. There was hardly any evidence the prosecution had against me. I told him multiple times that I wanted to go to trial and that I understand the consequences of losing the trial. I was told some very rude things that being from a country in Asia where there was news of atrocities against women recently, I looked like someone who would do bad things to a woman! That was very sad to hear from my own lawyer. Eventually, as I did not want to be with my wife, he kept trying to convince me to hire an immigration lawyer and a divorce lawyer to file for divorce. I did not fall into that at all. His law firm does civil divorce cases too. I was even sent a mail by him that my wish of going to trial would have grave consequences and I could end up in jail for years! Even though it was a misdemeanor and not even a felony. When I talked to other lawyers, no one believed me that he would have written such a mail. I actually showed the mail to them. Eventually, after running into an enormous bill of 10K usd and still him not willing to go to trial, I decided to move on to a different attorney who handled my case really well and was all prepared to go to trial. Eventually, my case got dismissed on the day of the trial. All in all, I ended up losing lots of money and got bad legal advice. I have 100% confidence that his knowledge of the law is excellent but to this day I do not understand what was his attitude towards my case!

I had Rachel Margolis Chapman as my defense lawyer for a silly trespassing violation and I truly felt like she was there for my defense. She was easy to talk to and always replied promptly with any questions or concerns I had. She was very professional yet down to earth and I always felt like a valued client. With her help I was able to have a positive outcome from this ordeal. I would recommend her to anyone who faces charges and who wants a lawyer that actually cares about you and your case .

Things started out going well, but when it came to time to produce, the attorney I worked with ended up charging $2200 to research basic business law and then send me 2 forms he downloaded from atyourbusiness{dot}com and filled in the names on. How do I know where they were from, he didn’t even take the time to remove the “for more free forms, visit atyourbusiness{dot}com” footer from the files or put it on appropriate letterhead.
In short, I paid $2200 for free forms and a person to do basic law research that I had already done. I expected much more from a “professional” business law attorney.
I’d suggest staying away from this firm. You’d be much better served doing pretty much anything else in this instance.

I went in and out of the courts all by myself with no luck for 2 years. Served her several times and even though the mother never showed up, things didn’t change. They FINALLY helped me get custody but by the time I got it, it was too late. Mother took my daughter who knows where. Detectives are still looking for them. It’s been over 14 years since I have seen her. The family court system is broken, you really DO need someone by your side with experience navigating it. I only wish I knew about them and called earlier. Maybe I could have gotten custody before she disappeared. And they did it all for free.

As if it wasn't hard already being a victim of domestic violence, there Levitt & Quinn is to make it an even more grueling process. I applied for help over a month prior to my final court hearing. After jumping through many hoops: 1) traveling to and applying directly at the office 2) submitting additional paperwork that took much effort to collect detail behind 3) several delays in correspondence from L&Q and 4) needing to spend money on requested documentation, I wasn't able to even land a consultation. They were misleading with hope throughout the process. They could've told me "we are unable to help at this time," which would've sufficed instead of wasting the time and energy of someone who is already suffering.

I can’t say enough good things about Neil Morse. He represented me in a custody case for my son, and from the very beginning, he was everything I needed in an attorney—down-to-earth, sharp, and genuinely invested in my case. He never sugarcoated things but always made sure I was prepared and understood every step of the process.
What really stood out was his ability to be both strategic and compassionate. He played devil’s advocate when needed, making sure we were ready for anything, but at the end of the day, I always knew he was fighting for me and my son. He was fair, reasonable, and relentless in ensuring the best outcome for us.
I’m beyond grateful for his guidance and support during one of the most difficult times in my life. If you need someone who truly cares and knows how to get things done, I highly recommend him.

Mr. Brooks has a reputation for helping clients overcome legal obstacles that seem insurmountable, that's why another attorney advised me to call Mr. Brooks. I have very complex, personal and painful legal proceedings against me for child abuse allegations in juvenile dependency court and criminal court for allegations of violating a restraining order. This attorney, Mr. Brooks was so very kind and so very helpful to me his gentle helpful nature was the absolute best he gave his time freely to me he listened he answered he shared his extensive knowledge with me and helped me to develop a plan. He told me what I needed to hear I am thankful for his sharing with me the truth of the reality of the situation which I am currently in of having my parental rights to my children terminated and what remedies I have available to me. His words came from a very sincere genuine desire to be helpful to me in a time of great need, confusion and hopelessness. Mr. Brooks gave me competent and effective ideas and helped me to have a logical and practical plan that provided me with a renewed sense of hope. Mr. Brooks knowledge and years of experience in the idiosyncrasies of juvenile dependency child abuse hearings criminal defense proceedings is what enables him to find a way for me and to help me regain control of my life. I am so thankful to him for being a compassionate kind man who helped me in a time of great need I wish there were more people like him in this world!!!

He was my attorney ones and as soon as i tried to fire him he left to vacation. He tried to make me plea to 250 days saying that's the best offer i would get, when i fired him and represented myself I end up doing 8 days. He lied to me and said i don't have bail. I had to ask police and they said i do have bail. He tried to make me take a deal, without my will. David Brooks the worse lawyer. Will not recommend him to no body. He will wake sure u stay in jail the longest

David Brooks was extremely helpful and understanding in my child's case. He called and informed me of all the scenarios that could occur and kept in frequent contact with me about what was happening with the case. He even met me at the detention facility on a Sunday which was so reassuring since I had never been to such a place before. Everything was resolved and we are very very thankful for David Brooks representation.

Richard is not only a experienced Trial Attorney but also a man that has a heart of gold! Rich represented my wife in a case that had so much stinch of police corruption, and got much truth during the Preliminary Hearing by cross examining the witnesses. He had prepared many questions and delivered them so elequently yet brought out the truth and lies of the alleged Victim. Having been in law enforcement for over 28 years myself and seeing many Attornies who sell their clients down the stream, it was a breath of fresh air to have an attorney who really cares about unraveling the truth in a "deal making" DA office. Richard completely changed the course of the prosecution and drastically changed the case for my wife and 3 year old baby, who would have not seen his mother for years if Rich did not intervene for simply the truth! Thank you Richard! What you did for my family will always be remembered. You saved a wife, mother and little child from wrongful prosecution and many years of seperation! God bless you!

Stay away from John Hinkle and Richard Pointer, this law firm will charge you an arm and a leg and you will get screwed HARD in the end. First of all he will fee you for everything on top of the $15K for hiring him. He is hard to get in contact with, I feel like when I see him he just doesn't give a flying crap about you or your case and doesn't even shake your hand. One time I went to court and he was never there! I had to go up to the judge and say "my lawyer isn't here to represent me". He lost my motion to dismiss, he is slow, old, and will confuse you while on the stand. look for someone else.

Mr. King represented me in a criminal matter in Fresno County. He did an excellent job and was able to settle the case in my favor. He was very well prepared, and kept me up to date on the status of the case at all times. He is a great attorney, and a very kind man. I highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for an honest, hardworking attorney who truly cares about his clients.

I found Mr. King to be unprepared and unresponsive. My guess is he spent very close to zero time in the preparation of my case. He made a good sales pitch to get my business, but he turned out to be all talk. And after I paid him, I rarely heard from him. I honestly believe I would have done just as well using an inexperienced, stressed-out, over-worked public defender, and doing so would have saved me a lot money.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
