Ms. Plata is an exceptionally fine attorney who represented our son in a juvenile matter which had serious consequences. Ms. Plata's dedication to our son's case we consider above and beyond our expectations with an outcome much better than anticipated. If you wish to have an attorney that has compassion for their client and truly cares I would highly recommend her firm for any of your legal matters.

From the moment I spoke with Attorney James Davis, I instantly felt like I could trust this man and that we would be in good hands. I called early morning around 8:10am and he called me back within 30 mins informing me he would accept our case and be at the first appearance.
We were able to discuss all details openly and never felt judged or like we were less than due to the circumstances. He gave his cell phone number to us and made sure we understood he was available to us whenever we had questions.
Attorney Davis is very easy to work with and his office manager Anna is the same! I never had to wonder where we were stood in our case - they made calls frequently and made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way.
The results were worth every dollar spent on the retainer fee. I hope to never have to use his services again; but should we be in need, Attorney Davis and Anna will be my first call.

Janet is God sent. She is relentless, dedicated, and motivated. Rather you have a parking ticket, or a 2nd degree Vehicular Homicide Felony, she is there to fight for you personally.
Janet makes you feel like family, and not someone who is at the mercy of the system. She is patient, intelligent,and dominates in court. She is quite literally the person you would hire when you need someone there for you in every aspect.
Our family as a whole couldn’t have asked for better representation from Janet. She was able to turn the impossible, possible. Putting all the odds that were once against us, in our favor by truly, with sincerity, defending her client.
We love Janet, and know you will too after hiring her.

Mrs. Ondreiasak and Ms. Jennifer Williams were with me every step of the way for almost 4 years in the adoption of my son. They were extremely informative on the process. They showed kindness and compassion to the birth mom. We the time was ready for the adoption the were super quick on putting everything in motion and with the court, LSW and assisted our family through many phone calls and emails. I wish there were higher ratings because they went above and beyond. I highly recommend their services.

I couldn't be happier with the representation we got from ms. Ondriezek's office. My family was in need of good legal advice and action, and we got it. They were very responsive and got us the result we needed... which might well not have happened had we gone it alone. When we needed to wait, we waited. When people had to be contacted, they contacted them. Should we need a family law representative ever again, we will be back.

Elizabeth R. Ondriezek, P.A. came highly recommend by a fellow attorney. I sat with Elizabeth on my initial consultation and she was honest and straight forward on my divorce options and possible outcome. Jennifer was assigned to my case, and she was professional, worked with my ex-husband’s attorney and negotiated a fair settlement. Out of the five things I wanted out of the divorce Jennifer successfully negotiated them with a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Elizabeth R. Ondriezek, P.A. to those who may find themselves in the same situation.

Jennifer and her legal team are by far the best I have ever had the pleasure of hiring. During my time of need for my grandchildren she and her legal team provided the very best legal representation ever. The results were quick although it seemed at the time to take forever. I am forever greatly for Jennifer and her team. It was the very best outcome for my grandchildren. Thank you.

I cannot recommend Robert Slama highly enough! With his exceptional knowledge and strategic approach, he has successfully won and negotiated every case I’ve brought to him over the years. Robert is extremely calculated in his tactics and leaves no stone unturned when fighting for his clients. His dedication, professionalism, and tenacity make him stand out in the legal field. If you need an attorney who will relentlessly pursue the best possible outcome, Robert is the one to call. I’m beyond grateful for his efforts and results in my cases!

Never go to court without an attorney even if you are an attorney. Mr. Slama knew from the beginning the truth of this matter and without his assistance my battle was complicated and if left to the understudy of an unlearned judge could have years of appeals to reveal the truth. Truth matters and Mr. Slama knew how to fight to the end. His experiences are what mattered.

Talks big but can’t deliver. He made several promises of filings that would grant makeup time and the outcome in court didn’t even come close to what we discussed in meetings. Events and crucial points were left out and looked over. Paperwork was not received or submitted in a timely manner. He’s made appointments and then not available for the appointment. Did not send me an invoice for over six months. He later has me sign an agreement for payment and then mentions it’s $6,000.. I should not have accepted his charges without first seeing an invoice for his services to verify his time. Not a positive outcome in any aspects . Do not recommend.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Tupper regarding a legal matter that was very serious. Although we didn’t actually need to hire his services at this time, he was gracious and professional with his time to help us figure that out without charging us. The consultation with him helped us understand our legal matter and brought us a great deal of relief. I only wish I had contacted him sooner. I would definitely recommend him if you are struggling with trying to find good legal representation regarding any legal matter in dealing with a dependency or custody case as well as dealing with DCF.

I retained this “attorney” Timothy J Miller for a DUI misdemeanor and he ended up scamming me. After reading all the other reviews for him, I actually felt better because apparently he is a serial scammer, and I am not the only one.
I retained Tim Miller on 9/30/2021, and my case is still open with absolutely no progress. It has been;
-566 DAYS
-1YR 6MO 20DAYs
-29 court hearings since I retained him…
Out of those 29 hearings, he failed to appear 6 of them.
When I retained Mr Miller I expected some level of professionalism and integrity. I paid his attorney fees in full and almost immediately. I retained him, so I would receive effective counseling while seeking the justice and the truth. I have been claiming my innocence since day 1.
After I paid him, Mr Miller stopped answering my calls, responding to my emails, or appearing to court hearings. More than a dozen times, I asked him to send me all the discovery and all the evidence in this case. Hearing after hearing and excuse after excuse, I was not able to make him move his finger, let alone schedule an appointment to go over the evidence. He simply did not care…after getting paid, his only goal became to pressure and scare me enough, so I would agree to make a plea deal with the DA, or go to the Veteran’s Court. He never believed on my innocence, nor he cared enough or put any effort to challenge anything in the case…He kept pushing me to make a deal and get rid of my case, so he can move onto other trusting and unsuspecting clients to make a quick and easy buck.
After my countless emails and phone calls, his assistant finally sent me couple pages of documents on 4/3/2023. That is 1YR 6MO and 5DAYs after I retained him. But the funny part is, those documents still does not include the breathalyzer test, dash cam records, and other important evidence…Long story short, he didn’t have those important records, because he just doesn’t have it in him to do the job, are care enough to look for… He simply did not do a thing!
He had 29 different chances and 566 days to make it right to me and at least try to help me, he did nothing…
A stranger on the street, or even DA would be more helpful to me than him, and that’s such a shame…
2 days after his assistant sending me those documents, on 4/5/2023, Mr Miller filed a motion to withdraw as a counsel…This is unbelievable. He asked me on couple occasions;
“Why don’t you fire me?”
And I replied:
“I can’t afford to fire you, why don’t you just do your job? It’s way easier.”
If this was any other profession, let’s say a carpenter or a plumber… and if that person had 566 days to do the job, and still refused to do it, that would be called a SCAM, and they would probably be charged criminally. Tim Miller is the smoothest scammer I have ever encountered. You will lose your money to him, and he is going to waste years of your life if you’re not fortunate enough to fire him later on… Please stay away.

Attorney Kevin is Knowledgeable and Caring. He let me know what I needed to help plead my case. I cooperated with him in a timely manner so he can help me as much as he can. He returned my calls and messages in a timely manner which shows me just how much he cares. I will hire him again and again if I need to.

I am very satisfied with my lawyer, Kevin Cobbin. He is very well informed, connected and smart. Most of all - he cares! I first heard about him 10 years ago through another prominent Attorney here in town. At the time, I wanted legal representation from someone that I could relate to and they had to be a FIGHTER. I will attest Mr. Cobbin is both.
Over the years, I've gotten to know lots of Attorneys in town and no one else, in my opinion, has the level commitment and dedication to his clients that Kevin has. Yes, I would strongly recommend to anyone in need of solid legal advice or counsel.

I hired him for my husband. My husband had to tell him what to ask for. He barely return calls it seems like having a public defender. He only calls you a day or two before court you go in blind sided. I don't see the way he do people he can tolerate to look at his self in the mirror and it doesn't bother him. I don't recommend him he only cares about his freedom.

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.
