Michael listened to me and what I wanted. I continued to push him on what I wanted. He did everything I asked. I wasn't sure what I wanted was achievable but Michael made it happen. I will use him in the future if needed. Best money I've ever spent.

I hired Mr. Hoffman, to represent me & file my divorce case. Mr. Hoffman made sure to always be available for any questions or concerns I had regarding any paperwork I had to fill out. Never did I have a doubt as he made sure to fully explain anything I had questions about. He worked hard on my case & managed to get me what I needed in my case in such a short amount of time. My divorced finialized within 60 days. He also made sure to use time management wisely as I’m a full time working mother of 2 children with limited time availaible. Mr. Hoffman’s work ethic made my process a lot smoother & easier on me & my family.

I hired David Hoffman to represent me in a divorce case and am so pleased and impressed with his professionalism. He has taken excellent care of me as a client and walked me through the process like a guardian and obtained an excellent outcome within a short amount of time for me as well. I highly recommend David for your legal needs.

I was referred to Mr Hoffman by a friend. Mr Hoffman immediately gave me a appointment at his office in downtown Tampa. He took the time to answer all my questions regarding custody/child support for my 2 daughters. My 1st appointment with him was in May 2017 and today,January 2018 Im finally done with all the process and court days, I was able to obtain custody of my girls and a big part of that was due to the assistance from Mr Hoffman.
Thank You very much.

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.

I spoke to a social worker in regards to the stability of their home life when they aren't with me. Being concerned about my daughter, and the inconsistency of her lifestyle which concerned me quite a bit whenever she would take the kids or present a different new boyfriend/place to stay.. (for the most part I have raised them/they lived w/me) I began to get concerned about how they were being affected by her irresponsibility as a parent. Later to find out that they were not attending school, and my oldest grandson taking on the babysitter role and would get in trouble for his little brother in which he became a totally different kid (quite angry about his whole environmen) he was told to lie to me if I asked him questions. My grandson started to call me when his mom would sleep/ or wasn't home and he would tell me things. I convinced my daughter to let me take them to live with me during the week so I can enroll them back in school and fix the inconsistency again time passed and they were safe with me; She started telling me things when she didn't get her way, trying to manipulate saying she was taking the kids from me (*if I talked to her about lying, and being irresponsible etc...) I got to the point that I needed to help these kids before she really screwed them upore and swore to look; nyo things and if she ever got into trouble shoplifting etc... I would use it to my advantage. The social worker referred me to Legal services for children and I started to work on getting guardianship and soon enough she went to jail. They were great, they helped me so much with everything including emergency paperwrk for serving her in jail for restraining order etc .. they came to my home to talk to the kids and I. They made it smooth like butter explaining everything!!! So glad she recommended this place. Perfect for kids who eed help!!!

Stebner,Gertler,Guadagni and Kawamato were so incredibly kind and helpful with my and my mother's case.
Deena Zacharin was my defense attorney.
She was compassionate with my case but really tough when it mattered during the deposition. I felt supported and was well informed.
Karman M. Guadagni was diligent with all of the details and correspondence concerning the case as well as a pleasure to work with. .
Kathryn Stebner is a gifted lawyer who really cares about people and standing up for cases that matter.
It was an honor to have her represent my family and we are grateful to her and her staff.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Fordyce

Dealing with the death of a loved one is hard, dealing with an untimely death that necessitates litigation is beyond comprehension when you're grieving, but it's sometimes the choice you need to make.
Our family had no experience with lawsuits and that's daunting. Kathryn, Karman and their entire team gently guided us through every step of the process. Everything was explained in a thorough but easy to understand way, making us feel cared for and confident in their expertise. All decisions were ours to make; at no point did we feel pressured to do anything that made us uncomfortable.
We can't recommend Stebner, Gertler, Guadagni and Kawamoto highly enough, nor can we imagine where we would be if we had not been referred to them. In the end, their hard work led to what we felt was a just and fair settlement.

I called several lawyers in Brazoria County. Most of them took my name and number. A couple of them returned my call but gave me little to consider. When I called Sandy she immediately pulled the public files and thoroughly reviewed the situation. She told me what she thought was the best course of action. Her
attitude and her compassion seemed real and I hired her right on the spot.
Thru the entire ordeal Sandra was available to answer all our questions. Thru phone and text Sandra was always honest, direct, and most importantly she always returned calls and texts immediately. I can't tell you important that was. The previous court appointed attorney would take days and even weeks to get back to us.
What I learned was never use a court appointed attorney. And if you need legal help make your first call to "Sandra Oballe".
When we were looking at a year jail time
Sandra got time served !!!

I can not say enough about Sandra Oballe. I called her early Sunday morning and she answered my call when others did not. She was very direct and I felt comfort in knowing she was very knowledgeable and in control of the situation. She works fast and had her plan together to get the best results for me and my family member. I will definitely recommend Sandra Oballe to anyone whom wants fast service, stayed in touch with me every step of the way and the end result was in our favor.
Highly recommend Sandra Oballe.

I was charged with two counts of a gross misdemeanor in 2020 by a Lakewood police officer. Prior to the incident, 2020 was a big mess for me. However this incident was mind numbingly bad and surreal. It all basically stems from me (I do regret drinking at the park) drinking at a park, taking pictures and talking on the phone… Cops who patrol the park every 30 minutes approach me. This is where things turns messy, though I complied with the cop orders, I was triggered by him accusing me of saying “inappropriate things to underage girls” even though he did inform me to leave before saying that, however my mindset was “if you felt that was true you should have never gave me the option to leave” needless to say we got into a hostile like argument, the cop visibly angry and frustrated grab my wrist and arrested me… later found out through Kurt that he wrote a false, disgusting,gross,humiliating police report about that incident with hopes of a conviction. Basically it was a classic crooked cop tactic, but then again, I gave him fuel since I was drinking, and I did argue with him, but you live and learn, 2020 was a year we all want to forget, and of course learn from….. *conclusion* Kurt Stender was the perfect attorney for this case, the man was perfect. Calm,cool, and collective. Very logical, he has a keen sense of common sense, very understandable, he has an instinct that detects whose truly innocent and most importantly, a very honest and sincere attorney throughout this whole ordeal. My case was ultimately dismissed, I asked Kurt about an expungement, he said I wouldn’t need one after the dismissal. What more can you say about this man?

I was charged with a Felony >1-year after I called the Sheriff's Office to report an attack upon myself, family, and pets; during which our house-cat had been mauled to death on our front porch by a pack of marauding dogs. I was knocked to the ground of my front porch during the attack with vicious dogs atop. Said large black guard dogs were cited under RCW 16.08.100 repeatedly over the year prior/after to the attack(s) upon my household, even cited for trespass for the attack that night. Sadly, over the years involved, even more livestock/pets were attacked, even a few other humans.
The Sheriff's Office has stated repeatedly that I did what I had to do to protect myself and others from even greater harm. 11-months of court circus later, the Prosecutor's Office finally Dismissed the Felony Charge. Self-Defense does include defending self, others, and property from attack by a trespassing, marauding pack of known-dangerous dogs; especially includes being on your back on your front porch while attacked.
Kurt defended my family from the circus of court proceedings. He helped me navigate the emotional roller-coaster of being wrongfully charged when in fact I was the wholly innocent victim of a violent crime. Kurt went above and beyond to ensure that my professional career and my family were shielded and protected.
Self-Defense is under attack. Kurt was my Legal Defense in Criminal Court. Through Kurt's intricate and extensive knowledge of the Legal System, the Case was Dismissed just prior to Jury Trial.
Kurt is my defense attorney referral for all my family and friends.

Mrs. Daniels is a wonderful attorney. She is very passionate and dedicated to the work that she does and I am more than satisfied with the services I received from her. You work one on one with her and she is always available via phone or email whenever you have questions about your case. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to be defended because she works thoroughly and is very personable. I was so stressed out about my case and she calmed me down and fought for me! She puts her heart and soul in the work that she does and she truly cares about her clients. My case was dismissed!! She is amazing and if I ever need an attorney again in the future she will be the one I call.

Brad Laybourne worked tirelessly on my case for almost 3 years. This being my first time needing a lawyer, I started by researching where he went to school. Brad was educated at Stanford University and the University of California. He comes from a long line of lawyers in his family and he has been in practice in our area since 2004 with wonderful reviews. I am proud Brad represented me not just because of his intelligence and talent as a lawyer, but also as a person of integrity and compassion. He was tough when he fought for my truth, and kind when he saw my suffering.
Brad kept me informed and discussed his thoughts with me every step of the way. He respected my thoughts and made me feel part of the team. My case was settled out of court and the result reached above both of our expectations. Brad has my gratitude and highest recommendation.

Our son was recently named in an unfounded, false and potentially defamatory accusation. We consulted Mr. Laybourne to see what options may be available to us in the event this false accusation is filed.
Brad not only talked to my husband a couple of times on the phone, but was also willing to meet with us in person so I could receive some clarification and understand the situation better.
He spent quite a bit of time with us and at no point did I feel rushed through or patronized. I'm sure he hears about these situations every day.
Brad was highly professional, patient, yet personable and we could tell he understood by asking pertinent questions while we repeated our concerns over and over.
I'm confident that, if needed, we will retain Brad to represent our son as he thoroughly understands our frustration and the impact this could have on his future and reputation.
For a family that has never had to have an legal consult, it is reassuring to know there are people out there that listen, believe and care who you are.
Thank you, Brad!

I had met Brad about 6 months ago and never thought I would need a lawyer. Unfortunately I needed the advice and help of a lawyer so I reached out to Brad. He gave me a call on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my issues and is helping me to get done what I need. He was very genuine in his conversations with me and I know I can trust him to do what he says!

Its not often that I leave a review, however, I highly recommend Mr. Twibell. I was able to meet through a good friend, and he was able to discuss my situation on short notice, and that is never easy for anyone.
He is amazing, very well educated, and helped me to understand everything on my level, to where it made complete sense.
Def a huge blessing not only to myself, but also to our community!

I retained Branden to handle a traffic citation I received. Not only did he settle it completely to my satisfaction, but he showed me great respect and courtesy throughout the process. He was very sympathetic to issues I was facing at the time, that were unrelated to my case. I was impressed by his patience and thoughtfulness. I would recommend Branden Twibell to any one, for any legal issue that arises. Five stars is not enough.

If you have the opportunity to use Kelli Day as your legal counsel in your child custody case, you will NOT regret it. Kelli and her team go over and beyond each and every day. She truly cares for her clients and the children involved in her cases. You are not just another case number. She keeps you updated, and you don’t have to worry if things are being handled. She knows child custody/divorce law. Period. The new laws, the old laws and everything in between. Kelli took on my case that was challenging to say the least. She made methodical and precise moves to have the outcome move in my favor without even having to take it before the Judge in a trial. Albeit, if you should need her to fight your battles in the court room, she will do it with grace and tenacity. There’s not a better choice than Kelli Day for a Child Custody Attorney in the river region.

Dan handled my felony case with exceptional care and effectiveness. For my case, Dan performed really well at key inflection points, often showing creativity and thoroughness in his arguments.

I can't recommend him highly enough.

I had need of an attorney and found Brandon Luna.
I spoke briefly with Brandon Luna and described my situation. He relayed that he had experience in similar cases. We hired Bandon Luna. He reviewed my situation and came up to speed very, very quickly - he did not invoice for many, many hours. Brandon Luna met with me and shared his strategy. He was spot-on. He arrived at the court appearance and very quickly was able to get one charge dismissed and the other vacated. Brandon Luna is a good attorney with the skill and knowledge to get me through a difficult situation quickly and reasonably.

Once I made the choice to have legal representation and was fortunate enough to hire Brandon, the hardest part was done for me. After reading his reviews and seeing his work history I felt confident that I was in very competent hands. I think a defense attorney that has been a successful DA is invaluable if you find yourself in the unfortunate position to need legal assistance. Having an open case is very stressful, but watching Brandon work has actually been it's own kind of joy. He saw the path to resolution very early on, always responded to my concerns, input and questions, and was amazingly successful at helping me find peace of mind in the midst of my most stressful life experience yet. I think the man is a rock, and one with a kind heart! He will most certainly be my recommendation if I talk with others who will benefit from his skill.

When we were looking for an ethical attorney to represent our son, it was a daunting task. We interviewed many attorneys, but after meeting and speaking with Matthew Izzi, I knew that he was the one to represent our son's defense. I felt he would approach his defense with integrity and respect for our son, and he did. Matthew doesn't fall into believing false accusations of articles written, community pressures and opposing counsel stacked charges, he develops his defense based on facts, based on the truth for his client, our son. He assured our son of his defense plan and collaborated with our son on the best way to develop his defense strategy. Matthew's demeaner in the courtroom is professional, no matter how much opposing counsel tries to pull his strings, he remains calm and forthright. He addressed injustices that were made against our son and explained many facts, of the truth, that sheds a bright light for the jury to see and that light doesn't go out, for that is what the truth does, it shines bright. Matthew gave us hope, something the DA tried to destroy. The Shasta legal system is a process of delays, unnecessary jail time --for our son, questionable decisions made by appointed judges, unfair bail , this is 'not' a justice system in our point of view. This was frustrating for us and for our son. We experienced many injustices during my son's trial by opposing counsel and Shasta Sheriff dept. So you need a good lawyer when you are in Shasta's court system. If you are looking for a good defense lawyer consider Matthew, he cares for his client's well being, despite the uphill battle he faces when dealing with the opposing counsel's unprofessional behaviors, different judges and Shasta Sherriff/Probation dept., etc.. One more comment, if you read anything written via yelp, social media or in the newspaper, that is negative about Matthew's character, by certain people in Shasta county, don't believe them, they can't deal with Matthew being so good at his job and believing in our son's account regarding what really happened. God knows the truth and the yappers negativity against my son, will be dealt with by God.
When stacked charges are brought up against your loved one, you need an attorney who will represent your loved one, in an aggressive, professional, intelligent and smart manner. The highlight is-- you need Matthew who will believe in you and will work diligently to prove your loved one's innocence. Matthew helped me understand an area, that I wasn't familiar with, the legal system, this also helped our son fight the system for his innocence and to try to get through the difficult situation. Matthew's staff is friendly, listened to me through many phone calls regarding my frustration with the Court process, the DA and Sherriff dept. So consider Matthew for your defense, this will be the most important decision of your loved one's life.

If you are looking for a good defense lawyer consider Matthew, he cares for his client's well being, despite the uphill battle he faces when dealing with the opposing counsel's unprofessional behaviors, different judges and Shasta Sherriff/Probation dept., etc.. One more comment, if you read anything written via yelp, social media or in the newspaper, that is negative about Matthew's character, by certain people in Shasta county, don't believe them, they can't deal with Matthew being so good at his job and believing in our son's account regarding what really happened. God knows the truth and the yappers negativity against my son, will be dealt with by God.
When stacked charges are brought up against your loved one, you need an attorney who will represent your loved one, in an aggressive, professional, intelligent and smart manner. The highlight is-- you need Matthew who will believe in you and will work diligently to prove your loved one's innocence. Matthew helped me understand an area, that I wasn't familiar with, the legal system, this also helped our son fight the system for his innocence and to try to get through the difficult situation. Matthew's staff is friendly, listened to me through many phone calls regarding my frustration with the Court process, the DA and Sherriff dept. So consider Matthew for your defense, this will be the most important decision of your loved one's life.

I can not say enough good things about Mr. Patterson! I was going through a horrendous separation and did something extremely stupid which led to a felony charge. A friend told me about Travis. I had little to no money at the time of our consultation. Travis was still willing to take my case and allow me to make payments. He's straight forward, honest, efficient, professional, encouraging and makes you feel like you're his #1 priority. His knowledge of the law is outstanding and he explains things in laymen terms for people like me who don't always understand it. I was really scared going into this and I am so grateful to Travis for being there. Hopefully, I will never need his services again but if so, I would never go with anyone else. I will always recommend him to anyone needing legal representation!!

Ryan is a great person to work with and I’m glad I was able to find him for my first arrest. Out of all the consultations I had, Ryan was the only one I felt who was genuinely listening to me and wanted to help me right away. Being a full time student, working a full time job, and dealing with COVID quarantine made time management a bit difficult but Ryan always managed to quickly respond to any questions I had. Ryan was able to get me on just a year probation. 6 months into probation I worked with him again to get me early termination of probation and everything went smoothly. Ryan will always have your best interest in mind.

I hired Ryan after my first arrest. Knowing absolutely nothing about the process any terminology I was a nervous reck. So he sat on the phone and explained everything for 2 hours before I even hired him! I can’t even begin to explain how helpful that was. I felt so confident with representing me. He helped me through everything and I’m eternally grateful for that.

I highly recommend Harrison Le! While visiting California last year I was charged with possessing drugs. Harrison Le explained to me everything in detail and made sure I wasn't lost. I knew he had my best interest at heart from the very get go.
Even after the case was over Harrison Le called me to make sure I was complying with probation and was there to answer any questions I had, even when he didn't have to. I appreciated that a lot.

My spouse hired a high-powered "celebrity" attorney and was planning on putting me "through the ringer" and was planning to take our child out of state with the man she was having an affair with. Mr. Fort stood toe-to -toe with her council and was able to get me everything I asked for. He is very knowledgeable and understands the law and formulates an amazing strategy. Thanks to him I have 50/50 custody without having to concede any other demands. He and Misti (paralegal) are strong communicators who will answer very promptly (always within an hour) with concrete advice. Obviously each case is different but if you are totally 100% open and honest, Mike will fight for you. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is in need of a top-notch lawyer.

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.
