Lewin & Lewin very seriously saved my career. I was facing a couple ridiculous charges and Robert was able to get every one of them dismissed. He was extremely communicative, kind, understanding of the fear of facing legal matters for the first time, and worked fast and efficiently to take care of the whole ordeal in under a week. I would recommend him and his law offices to anyone experiencing legal difficulties and hopes for the best possible outcome.

Diana easily gained trust by providing a safe environment & approaching a sensitive life event with respect and in a nonjudgemental manner. She broke down legal jargon for consumption & listened to understand the situation, me as a person and provided guidance/recommendations for the situation at hand. Her ability to be effective & efficient resulted in a fast resolution & was cost effective.

My experience with Diana Sladen of Sladen & Costigan Family Law Attorneys was nothing short of outstanding. The firm handled my divorce with the utmost professionalism and care. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is passionate about her job, knowledgeable, sincere, and a go-getter, I recommend Diana Sladen. Additionally, the paralegal staff was friendly, courteous, and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. The entire team put my mind at ease during a very emotional time in my life. I am profoundly grateful for their services, and highly recommend Diana and her team at Sladen & Costigan to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Diana and her team were amazing throughout the entire divorce process. Diana is so knowledgeable, compassionate, and makes sure no detail is overlooked. Getting divorced is so overwhelming and personal, Diana and her team truly make you feel at ease and like they all have your back.

Cory was with me every step of the way. My license was suspended and he dealt with the court and then on several occasions had to deal with the Department of Motor Vehicles (which is not easy).
He kept me updated, which was a blessing during this difficult time and answered all my questions.
I highly recommend Cory.

Mr. O'Connell was very understanding, knowledgeable, professional and helpful with my situation. He guided me through a difficult time. He was able to explain my options, navigate me through the court system and help me to select and execute the best choice for my family. He was definately worth every penny, saving my child from having a permanent record for a poor choice. He also was helpful in encouraging my child to make better decisions in the future. I would highly recommend him.

We had a complicated situation that had our existing attorney completely flummoxed, and potential replacement attorneys refusing to get involved.
Attorney Steve Allen leapt right in --- highly responsive, remarkably knowledgeable, creative, and ACTIVE. He was forcing the action right away. Comparing his approach to former representation is like comparing an ER Doctor to a lunch lady with a First Aid kit. We knew immediately that we were being protected and led in the right direction.
The problem is now solved, but in retrospect we almost feel lucky to have faced it: Had we not had that issue, we might never have identified the firm we'll be using from now on ---

My wife and I hired Mr. Hahn when we were very desperate trying to find an attorney to represent our case. He was very calm while listening to our story and the challenges we were having with the school. Mr. Hahn took our case, worked persistently, and maintained consistent communication with us. He was persistent, attentive, and very organized. His demeanor and determination helped us to get what we wanted. We are grateful to have hired him and we believe he is one of the best attorneys out there.

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderfully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

My husband passed away this fall and I needed to update our existing trust documents. My financial advisor referred me to Long Hagan Huff-Harris and I’m so glad he did. From the first call they explained how they would set up not only my new trust documents, but my revised Will, Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. They made it easy to understand, set up Zoom meetings to finalize my wishes and I only went to their office to go over the documents and sign my approval. I would, without hesitation recommend Long, Hagan, Huff-Harris for your legal needs.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work you did on my son’s behalf last week. As the trial began, I was understandably anxious about how things would unfold, but from the outset, it was clear that you were thoroughly prepared and in complete control. Your expertise and strategic thinking quickly put me at ease, and I gained full confidence in your ability to navigate the complexities of the case.
Your attention to detail, your skill in limiting unnecessary witness testimony, and your mastery of the courtroom dynamics truly set you apart. I especially appreciated how you kept me informed throughout the process, offering reassurance and clarity when I needed it most.
I am deeply grateful for your professionalism, dedication, and unwavering support. Please know how much your help in this matter has meant to our family.
Thank you once again for everything.

We used Jill when we were dealing with an IEP eligibility issue. She was enormously helpful. She was compassionate, highly competent and amazingly efficient in how she handled our situation. I was impressed by her honesty and integrity. I was also impressed at how she was able to take a lot of complex intake and synthesize a coherent and well organized case. She was always highly responsive. I would use her again and have recommended her to others as she was so effective for us.

Jill was a tremendous help to our family as we struggled to understand our young son's learning disability and secure him the most appropriate placement. Jill worked tirelessly with us to understand test results, school placements, IEPS, etc. and was always available to talk through various scenarios that would be best for our son and family. She was very knowledgeable of resources available and connected us with high-quality local professionals. Jill understands not only the professional and legal in's and out's regarding learning disabilities, but is also very empathetic which is so important since emotions around rights and advocacy can run high for everyone. Ultimately, Jill was able to secure a very fair placement for our son for which we are forever grateful. In the five years we worked together, we were true partners. I trusted her legal advice and came to know her as friend.

I never needed a lawyer in my life, wc insurance company changed all that. I had no clue on where to turn when the insurance company unilaterally closed out my wc claim and left my future, health, and supporting my family in doubt and in a dark place.
While in my research for a lawyer, I came across Mr White ( Jimmy). What caught my attention was Jimmy had experience in both the insurance end as an insurance claims lawyer, but also as a lawyer in advocating for wc claimant’s. Basically, best of both disciplines.
OMG, what a decision I made in putting my future in such capable hands!!!
Jimmy was the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring individual. He always told it like it is, never sugar coated anything, told me the honest truth, and always conveyed possible paths forward, good and bad, noting was ever a surprise on wc insurance tactics.
Jimmy’s in-depth knowledge of the law profession was paramount in advocating for a just outcome for me in my case. Insurance company threw everything but the kitchen sink at me and lost.
Jimmy never lost sight of end game, and my what a long road the insurance company made it with their tactics.
Giving a shout out to Kristie (paralegal) what a consummate right hand woman to have on your team. Kristie, always professional, knowledgeable, always giving and forwarding accurate information, and always there to listen and seek out answers that most definitely arise in wc cases by clients.
Thank you Jimmy and Kristie for all you both have done for myself and my family, APPRECIATED BEYOND WORDS!!!
Best regards Craig

Having to navigate a lawsuit can be a daunting process without proper representation. I’m lucky that I found the Office of James White. Between attorney White and his paralegal Kristie Goyer the process was easy. There needs to be a lot of follow-up in a lawsuit or small things will fall through the cracks and that can affect the case. This office checks that box. And you need FaceTime with your attorney. With a lot of the “big firms”, you never meet anybody. These firms look at their clients as a number. You may never meet anyone from a firm like that unless you are heading to court.
I couldn’t be happier with the result I had with Jim White and Kristy Goyer and I would highly recommend them.

Marissa came highly recommended, and exceeded all expectations. She is professional, hard-working and an extremely talented lawyer. She developed a plan of action for my case, clearly explained the issues, my options and her recommended course of action, and then executed the plan. The result was actually better than we would have hoped for.
She knows the court system, DAs and judges in her area, and has great relationships with them. She is also very reasonably priced, and was flexible in terms of structuring her fees. I cannot recommend her services strongly enough.

Joy has represented me twice, very successfully, for a child visitation and subsequent child custody case. This was a very long and drawn out process due to petulance, false accusations, petty tactics etc.
I didn’t deserve such an incredible human. Nobody does. Joy might be an actual angel, not a human being….Her advocacy on my behalf healed more trauma than any doctor has even come close to. The sweetest , most cathartic vindication.
I am passionate and not very well spoken when I feel there are injustices happening. My mouth has been my downfall since childhood. I don’t think any other attorney would have been able to fully understand me, and thus the case, the way Joy did. I was so nervous at first because at surface level, my situation could have been easily misunderstood and manipulated but it didn’t take long until I stopped getting nervous or angry at the antics of the narcissistic psychopath I was up against. I had 100% faith that Joy would bring justice to a very much needed situation.
There aren’t enough words. The world doesn’t deserve her. I’m not kidding or exaggerating. At all. Warrioress.

Jason Stone Injury Lawyers is a great law firm to get you the best care and they do their ultimate best to get you fairly compensated for your body injury.

He was very prompt in returning my calls and responded to my emails. I felt like I was the only client he had.

Attorney DiCenso is a very smart, educated, professional
Person. He kept me well informed of everything that was
Going on with my case. He was definitely there for me
the entire time of my case. When the other party
denied me from hospital proceedures,he made sure I was seen.
I transferred to attorney DiCenso because the lawyer I had prior simply did not care. I never knew what was going on. I never talked to him, he never returned
My calls. So bottom line, Attorney DiCenso is the best I have come accross
Because he cares and you can see he gives 100% all the time.

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.

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.
