Christian is the BEST attorney! He provided me a clear explanation of my case which made it less stressful in the beginning. He is understanding and supportive. There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case. Thank you for your time and service, Christian. It was a pleasure working with you.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

Thank you to Christopher Miller and his staff. Mr. Miller not only convinced the detective and prosecutor to reject my criminal case, he convinced the judge to seal my arrest. This firm is worth the time and effort. The Miller Law Group made sure my record remain flawless so that I can continue to have a successful career. By the way, I never stepped a foot into a courtroom. Mr. Miller did all the work. I had a great experience and am confident that if you use The Miller Law Group, you will have no regrets.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Fabianna Miller at the Miller Law Group on a legal matter, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first consultation, it was clear that Fabianna possessed a deep understanding of the law and an impressive ability to communicate complex concepts in an accessible way.
Fabianna took the time to listen to my concerns and ensured that I felt supported throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer my questions, and I appreciated the proactive updates on our case. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation were evident during court proceedings, where she represented my interests with professionalism and confidence.
What stood out to me was Fabianna's genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for our case. She not only focused on legal strategies but also considered the emotional aspects of my situation. This holistic approach made a significant difference in my experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Fabianna Miller at the Miller Law Group for anyone seeking legal representation. Her expertise, dedication, and compassionate approach set her apart in the legal field.
Thank You Fabi for all you did for us. I will forever be thankful!

Matthew Briggs is a respectable lawyer building a solid practice in Marin. I got in contact with Matthew after attempting to resolve my custody issue for more than two years talking with my ex and several rounds of mediation. It had been extremely difficult and I was discouraged, stressed, financially strained, and more afraid than I can summarize.
Matthew was honest, professional, and kind. He got to know my situation thoroughly, let me know my options and possible outcomes, and never made unrealistic promises. The process was very hard work and included a full court trial. Matt guided me through every facet with confidence and skill. He comes from a place of thorough knowledge of Family Law, and is not fast talking or grandiose. Matt returned my calls and emails in a timely manner, set realistic goals, and his guidance gave me a sense of calm through the most tumultuous experience of my life.
I am relieved with the outcome that Matthew advocated for on my behalf. He truly believed in me and my family. Prior to meeting Matt I felt despair about the future of my relationship with my daughter. I am more than thankful for his support, and it has brightened my future.

I worked with Bryan back in 2019 on a bankruptcy and came up with a game plan to rebuild my credit from there. He was very knowledgeable and caring, even 5 years later. I needed a piece of paper I had misplaced and he still took the time to locate what I needed. My credit has broke the 700s barrier, and my credit card limit has also shot up. I would highly recommend working with Bryan to anyone!

I highly recommend Ridley Defense. From the get-go, they presented more professional and thoughtful than any other firm I reached out to. I had a pretty difficult case in Santa Barbara County and am grateful they agreed to help. It resolved far better than I thought possible because Ridley Defense really knows how to handle a case and give you the best shot. They helped me get a second chance in life that I could never thank them enough for. Tal and Doug, I deeply appreciate everything you've done.

Before Golden State Workers Compensation, I was ready to give up. I had lost hope to my recovery. I had a bad experience with the workers comp doctor. I felt like I was just another number and price tag. It was almost as if I was not human.
After speaking and getting to know Mr. Chris Cahilig, my hope and peace of mind were given to me. The best experience I've had. This team will go above and beyond. Treated me like family and never letting me down.
God bless everyone at Golden State Workers Compensation.
Thank you, Chris Cahilig, for all the wellness checks and reassurance you gave me from the start. You are truly an amazing man with a passion for justice and my well-being of people.

I reached out to John Thyne to help me with an issue I had been having with a local divorce lawyer. This issue had been going on for so long & thought there was no hope. I didn't even think he would take my case. To my surprise, he immediately got me scheduled with his colleague, Adam Carralejo. Adam carefully listened & took extensive notes during our appointment which in turn gave me a glimmer of hope. Adam continued to be in touch with me regarding my case & then the day came when he called me with the good news that he had made headway with my case. After I got off the phone with him, I burst into tears because Adam had achieved a fair outcome. In addition, Brant Berglund & Ashley Franco have helped with facilitating the details. I am forever grateful to the Law Office of John J. Thyne lll & the team that went up and beyond the call of duty to resolve my case.

Jim Gass has done a phenomenal job on behalf of my family member
His top-tier legal defense instincts, experience and expertise are beyond question in San Bernardino County (SBC).
His stand-alone outcome differentiator of having 'won more felony jury trials than any other attorney in SBC,' speaks for itself.
As a dedicated family man Jim also dedicates his time and energy to the emotional as well as legal well-being of his clients. No sooner did my family member meet with Jim than his entire demeanor changed.
Operationally, Jim maintains an excellent rapport with courtroom colleagues on both sides of the justice system aisle, as is all-too-critical to optimizing outcomes.
Jim has my most sincere thanks, and I highly recommend him for legal defense services in the SBC area.

I am so grateful to Katie Walsh for her professional and compassionate service. From Day 1, dealing with completely panicked parents who had no idea what was going on and why our young teen was being detained, Katie was able to provide the information, and the guidance, we needed to calm down and move forward.
Katie responded very quickly to our enquiry for help, spent time with us on the phone on a weekend, told us what to do/say and what not to, what the process would be, and most of all provided assurance.
Katie knows the Orange County Juvenile Court, the people and how it works inside and out. She is worth every penny. She got our teen back home with us as quickly as was possible and steered us through the court and probation process to getting the most positive outcome we could expect. The case is dismissed and sealed!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Don't hesitate to call Kate Walsh for a brief consultation - you won't regret it.

Will Bruzzo is honest, reliable, responsible, savvy, confident, flexible, knowledgeable, reassuring, calm,
experienced, communicative, supportive, patient and well-connected. What set Will apart initially, was that he was the only attorney that responded to me virtually immediately after I submitted a contact form. He listened to me and didn’t judge my behavior nor actions. After becoming familiar with what
transpired, he developed a plan – a reasonable plan based on the circumstances and evidence. As the
process unfolded, at each decision point, he described the possible outcomes and then recommended that he believed was the best course of action - but always allowed me to make the final decision on
which way (when and how) to go. He was never patronizing and was careful to never over-promise. He always answered my texts, emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I never felt that he was “aloof,” avoiding me, too busy or difficult to reach. I never felt that he “didn’t care.” While I went through multiple emotional stages (anger, frustration, confusion, helplessness, impatience, uncertainty, etc.), he remained resolved that his plan would work. He never promised that his plan would be 100% successful, but he laid it out clearly and stuck to it. He knew most of the other players (judges, DAs and courtroom staff) and they knew him. Over time, he has become familiar with how specific judges decide on certain
issues. Some judges are more lenient in certain areas, while others are more strict. He combined this experiential knowledge with his patient and methodical manner to guide me to the best possible outcome. In the end, his plan worked – exactly how he said it would. He would probably be the first to
say that my case could have gone any number of other ways, but it was no accident that the plan he laid out came together just as we both had hoped.
Regarding money, it's hard to tell if Will's fees were appropriate or excessive, because I didn't have time to "shop around." Could I have "saved money" by hiring someone else? Maybe. But you never know if someone else will charge less upfront, but then nickel and dime you to death later on. Will had a fixed fee that I thought was pretty high, but looking back, his services (and his character) were worth every penny.
Will Bruzzo is a straight-shooter, does what he says, and is a man of his word. Tough to put a price tag on that.

Ilian took a difficult situation and made it easier to comprehend and calm my thoughts. Trying to do this alone or with someone who doesn’t have compassion would be a scary dangerous road.

There is happiness after this process. I’m definitely there and quicker than I thought possible.

Hi,
It was amazing working with Mrs. Bansal. My son was facing a felony and we needed help to find an attorney as soon as possible. When we got a hold of her, she went into action right away. She explained everything to us and what could happen. She had experience with the county we are in and knows exactly what to do. As soon my brother explained to her about my son’s situation, she emailed me right away and requested some stuff to help us with my son's case. Anjali gathered as much information as she could to support him and get him out. Angali did amazing today in court and made me and my family so happy and thankful. Today was my son’s trial and she was able to get him out. She showed how passionate she was about her job. She is dedicated for her clients. I hope to never have to deal with this again but if i do, I know who I will reach out too. Today was an amazing day for the whole family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It feels so good to have my son back at home. Thank you Angali.

I came across Anjali Bansal by chance. I had been arrested and was facing a dui charge. I was scared and didn’t know what to do so I just looked up a company that ended up setting me up with her and it was the best decision I could have made. She was very thorough with everything and made me feel like I wasn’t alone in this. She was very communicative and I could tell that she was passionate about my case. She stands her ground when she believes in something and I can’t thank her enough. She was able to get my dui charge reduced to a reckless driving charge which saved me a ton in fees and helped with my record.

I cannot say enough about the incredible support and assistance I received from Charles "Chip" Oxton. From the moment I reached out to him, he exhibited exceptional expertise, professionalism, and compassion in handling my custody. He ensured that my child's well-being was at the forefront of all our proceedings.
I believe that what sets Chip apart is not just his exceptional legal skills but his remarkable qualities as a human being. He genuinely cares about his clients, which really mattered to me during an emotionally draining time. He was always honest and direct, even when it meant having difficult conversations.
In addition to Chip, I had very nice interactions with other lawyers and assistants at his office. Feeling safe about being at a lawyer's office is reassuring in challenging times.
In summary, if you find yourself in need of an attorney who has great legal skills but who is also an amazing person, I strongly recommend Chip! He had an immense impact on my life during one of the most challenging times I've ever faced.

Patrick has been representing me for about almost a year now. Before Patrick I tried representing myself and I made a huge mess out of my case and it seemed like it was almost impossible for anything good to come out of it.

From the very first consultation, Patrick demonstrated unparalleled knowledge of family law and a genuine commitment to my case. They fought tirelessly for my rights as a parent and always had my child's best interests at heart.
Martha was equally amazing, providing constant support and ensuring I stayed informed and prepared throughout the process. Their organization, kindness, and professionalism made a difficult time so much easier to navigate.

Estoy increíblemente agradecida con el equipo de The Grande Law Firm por su apoyo durante todo mi proceso. Antes de trabajar con ellos, tenía otro abogado, pero me resultaba muy difícil obtener la ayuda que necesitaba. A menudo no podía comunicarme con nadie, y me sentía perdida y sin claridad sobre lo que debía hacer. Todo cambió cuando comencé a trabajar con The Grande Law Firm. Han sido increíbles, siempre apoyándome y estando allí cuando los necesito. Gracias a su arduo trabajo, mi hija ya tiene programada su entrevista.
Lo que más me impresiona es cómo me hacen sentir como parte de su familia. Cada vez que hablo con ellos, me siento lo suficientemente cómoda como para compartir mi historia, y de verdad siento que puedo confiar en ellos. Es raro encontrar personas que sean no solo profesionales, sino también amables y compasivas. Recomiendo muchísimo a The Grande Law Firm a cualquiera que necesite ayuda; ¡ellos te cuidarán como si fueras parte de su familia!

I'm opening with the statement: INCREDIBLE service, attention to detail, and follow up! I sustained injuries in a car accident where the other driver was at fault, and for the first time in my life I realized that I was going to need more than my own auto insurance company's assistance. Fortunately for me, I was referred to the team at GJEL Accident Attorneys as a starting point, and I didn't need to seek any other guidance after that. I completed a very quick and efficient phone call to explain my circumstances to the firm, and before I could blink I had received an email with clear and simple steps to take to begin the process. I was treated with kindness and compassion during a time when I had a lot of worries about the accident. They made me feel so at ease by advising that they would essentially take over all of the difficult correspondence that was already starting - whether it was my insurance company, the other driver's insurance company, hospital bill inquiries, etc, they handled it all immediately. I was informed and advised at every step down the path to settlement, and their timeliness along the way was so impressive that it made me feel that somehow I was their only client. I wholeheartedly recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys should the need arise, as the entire team had incredible industry knowledge, and they were punctual and professional at every step.

Michael is a good human and an amazing Lawyer. I found myself in a situation I had never been in before facing an unnecessary and un-true charge that stemmed from a home and self defense situation. I found Michael and knew right away I could fire the 1st Lawyer I had retained and stick with Michael moving forward. Thanks to Michael's experience, talent, and *care*, my case was dismissed and records sealed. I hope I never have to retain a Criminal Defense Lawyer for myself ever again. However, I will forever recommend him to anyone who may be need of one.

I am based on the East Coast and required an attorney on the West Coast. Mr. Fell was recommended to me by a firm on the East Coast.
I found Mr. Fell and his Firm very professional, efficient, pleasant, and effective.
We discussed the case parameters, and I promptly forgot about them.
Well, Mr. Fell did not forget about it; over a year later, he contacted me with a complete resolution of the case and a large refund of the retainer.
I have NEVER received a refund for a retainer from any attorney; it has always mysteriously gotten "used" up.
If you want an effective and honest Law firm, you can be confident in Mr. Fell and his firm.

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.
