I will forever be grateful to Attorney B. Koreman from thefirst day I hired him he worked effortlessly to reduce my charges. "Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and all your help during this past 3 months. I do not know what I would have done without your help and guidance from you as well as your assistant. I am very satisfied with the legal services provided (on a scale from 1 to 10---10 would describe my satisfaction). I definitely would recommend your law firm to anyone I know that needs legal help. Thank you for everything."

From the very beginning of the situation Bill was right on top of everything that needed to be done. He gathered all the information that was available and took great care of my son and I. Bill was in constant contact day or night with updates and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible until the very end to make sure we had the outcome we wanted. Bill was referred to me through a friend and I could not have made a better choice. I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone that is in need of an attorney. John

I was in what I considered the worse situation of my life and had no idea what to do. Flynn Bertisch took my case and walked me through every step that I needed to take. I’ve never been in “trouble” before so to say I was scared was an understatement. My first conversation with Flynn, eased my mind and gave me hope. He worked so hard from the second he took me on as a client. Even after my case was declared as “no file”, he continued to answer my questions and simply just check in with me to see how I was doing. I can’t say thank you enough to Flynn! I highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Not only is he a seasoned professional highly experienced and knowledgeable, he shows that he really cares about his clients. Not only did we feel that we were treated very professionally, we actually felt like family. He keeps good communication with you throughout the process. He fights for your best interest until the last gavel bangs. God bless you Attorney Flynn Bertisch!! You sir, are the real deal.

Mr. Abel helped me when I was falsely accused of a felony crime. He was appointed to me by the court at first and was able to get the case dismissed, but the DA decided to refile lesser charges on me (sore loser). Mr. Abel had done such a good job with my felony case that I decided to hire him on my new refiled lesser charges and he made quick work of them and got all of my charges dismissed. Mr. Abel hung tough with me through two courts. I never in my life thought I would be falsely accused of a crime but I was extremely lucky to get Abel as my lawyer! He was also a prosecutor for some time so he has relationships with people in the courts that some lawyers don’t. He did an excellent job and if you have the opportunity to hire him I think you’d be foolish not to. He’s really good and his paralegal Kory was very attentive and helpful throughout a very stressful time in my life.

In December of 2015, my daughter made a mistake. She got involved with the wrong person, and ended up accused of a felonious assault and theft. I found Atty. Jones's number in the phone book, called his office, and he saw me that afternoon. He also introduced me to his associate, Atty. Ron Yarwood, and the two of them took care of my daughter's case. They immediately took steps to get her out of jail and released on bond. They informed us of her legal rights and liabilities, and kept us informed of the progress of her case. They educated us from the beginning on what my daughter's risks were, and negotiated hard on her behalf. From the outset, they told us that they had no fear of going to trial, if that was what her defense demanded; but in the end, they were able to negotiate her sentence down to 2 misdemeanors, with her punishment being only a year's probation. I was very gratified over the fact that they quoted me a fixed fee at the beginning, and never asked for any more fees as the process went on. I also found them both to be very accessible. I contacted them by email and phone on numerous occasions and they always replied the same day or the next. I always felt that they had my daughter's best interest at heart, but they also never let her forget how serious the trouble was that she had gotten into. I am extremely grateful to them for their time and expertise as well as the outcome they were able to negotiate for my daughter. I fear that, with a less competent team, the outcome could have been substantially worse.

People who complain about her pricing, truly mind-blowing! People should NOT bargain shop when trying to fight for custody of their children, the outcome will be less than desired. Over the last year, Lynn has given me 110% during a very stressful custody case. A case that involved my children being taken to Florida without me knowing and false abuse accusations. Attorney Bruno assured me throughout every step of this process and kept me updated on all possible outcomes. The BEST possible outcome, was the outcome Lynn got me! Thanks to Lynn, my children are now safe and I have full residential and custodial custody!

He’s helped me through a couple of rough bumps in the road and I couldn’t be more happy with the results of his feedback and hard work. I can’t forget to add the most important part!

I originally sought a divorce/separation consultation from Attorney Crane and due to her complete honest feedback and well thought out options I decided on hiring her. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed next to impossible. Attorney Crane was extremely thorough, very persistent in achieving a positive resolution, diligently research focused, fair priced, goal oriented, and always provided timely and honest feedback and answers to all my questions. Not only did she provide an outstanding service where I was able to accomplish a desired result for me and my family during my time of need, uncertainty, and heartache, but she was able to defend me from unjust accusations as well. Her calm, professional and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support and hope to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I sincerely trust her with any legal need as well as the lives of me and my and children.

I honestly don't even know where to start. My divorce case was a complete nightmare. There is no worse feeling as a parent, than to know your child's best interest lays in the hands of someone else. It was terrifying. At the end of my case, I can honestly say Ms. Evans was the best lawyer I could have ever asked for. She fought hard for my daughter. I genuinely felt like she was fighting for her well being, just as she would want for her own. She kept her safe. Ms. Evans knows her stuff and is on top of it. She is prepared and can rebuttal facts! She is not only good at what she does, but she cares for her clients. She is very affordable and will work with her clients. Bianka is just as amazing. She is always polite and listens to your concerns. All around, I couldn't be more satisfied and will definitely use them again, when I am ready for my adoption case. If you find yourself looking for the best, definitely hire Ms. Evans. I promise you wont be disappointed. She is worth every penny! Ms. Evans won my divorce case, and also handled my tpr case and won it as well.

My case is not an easy with considering my former spouse is a very difficult individual & has been dragging me back & forth into court for the last 5 years once a year. Whenever my ex filed false charges for harassing communications and I ended up being arrested, Allen was there 20 minutes after I got to the jail. He was reassuring that these charges would be dismissed and he was right! They were and the other party had to pay for court costs. Allen has never wavered. Never told me to give up. He’s always been there whenever I get hit with another filing motion & fights for what is right for us giving his 100%. I found Allen off of this website & I have to say he’s been amazing every time I’ve worked with him. Even whenever I was out of state, he kept up the lines of communication & helped me with my local legal issues.

I helped my boss and boss's wife get through a criminal charge against her. I didn't know where to turn to, but when I searched for an attorney in Fullerton, Attorney Erika Becker showed up and several others. I contacted all of them, and she was the first to return my call within a day and realized she has a many years of law experience. When I met her, she explained details about what can happen to what she can do for us. Although, what she advised us wasn't the best outcome that we were hoping for, when the final outcome came out, she made it even better than what we had hoped for. There was a misdemeanor charge, 2 years of probation, 1 year of schooling...the charge was downgraded to infraction, no probation and no schooling! How awesome is that! We were excited and so glad that we hired her to represent us. Thank you Attorney Erika Becker and I am confident that she will help so many people like us and so good to know I found such a great attorney. So, glad that I met a great person, attorney, and I think she will make a great difference in our community. I definitely recommend her and I can't say enough about her! Great person!

To be honest if I lost the DMV court hearing I would of lost my job and my long distance relationship with my now husband would of suffered. He lived in San Diego and I lived in Huntington Beach, so driving to see each other was important. My court case was then dropped from a DUI to a Wet In Reckless. Now he is helping me expunge my case for a great price. I don't really need the expungement because I own my business but for such a great price, I can't say no to the offer. Thank you Micheal. It was a very stressful time for me and my family and if you didn't help me I don't think I would be in the great position that I am in my life today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mr. Phillips is one of two lawyers who handled my DUI case. I was immediately impressed, as he was willing to take my consultation call after hours, and was very straight-forward with no sales pitch, scare tactics, or too-good-to-be-true promises. He took a lot of time to explain the process and what to expect, and to review the possible outcomes of my case. I called as a nervous wreck but ended the call feeling confident that I would be in good hands. He was also always very quick to respond to my emails and calls, and even gave me great advice on how to handle the DMV, alcohol classes, and my insurance. I highly recommend him!

El abogado Clemente Jimenez no sólo es un excelente abogado, sino un maravilloso ser humano, sensible ante la situación difícil por la que atraviesan cada uno de sus clientes. Desde el primer momento nos recibió con esa calidez que necesitábamos, realizando un excelente trabajo en el caso penal que estábamos atravesando. El cuidó cada detalle y utilizó cada recurso disponible, desde conseguir todas las pruebas posibles y documentos a nuestro favor, hasta contratar a un investigador. Siempre mantuvo una comunicación efectiva con el fiscal, trabajando duro y negociando a nuestro favor. El abogado Jimenez logró que aceptaran a mi familiar en la corte de salud mental, debido a que existía un diagnóstico de salud mental, y finalmente fue un éxito, saliendo limpio gracias al arduo trabajo del abogado Clemente Jiménez. Recomiendo sus servicios al 100%. Es difícil encontrar un abogado bilingue, honesto y especialista tanto en derecho penal como en derecho migratorio, más a parte con la sencillez y calidez como ser humano que lo caracterizan. Las palabras en este review no son suficientes para expresar mi siempre agradecimiento hacia el abogado Clemente Jiménez. Gracias también a su asistente Karen que siempre estuvo ahí, también apoyando.

Mr Wehunt was extremely helpful and very dependable. He truly helped me with my case and I had 2 felonies and really thought I was going spend more time jail and truly thought I would really be always assumed as a terrible criminal and he got me a great plea deal. I got less time with probation and the least amount in fines and so much more. he made me feel comfortable in court when I was nervous and really thought I was going have bad outcome but he worded everything so I was able to understand. all my questions was answered and explained in every way. This is first time I have ever been in serious trouble and even been in court for crime. he kept in contact with me and even after my plea deal he still even contacted me after words to see if I still was okay or had any questions. he truly is a lawyer ur want on ur side.

Blake did the best job I could possibly imagine as an attorney for the worst accusations a person could levy against someone else. From the moment we met and discussed my case, I knew that Blake was going to be the lawyer I needed to understand the complexities of my case, the specifics of the accusations, how they could be perceived, how to defend them in several avenues, and how to deal appropriately with one of the most duplicitous attorney/client teams to ever exist. Blake's read and perception at every level of the case, and throughout every social interaction was everything that my case warranted and needed. He was realistic about what would be fair, and what wouldn't, and the best ways to approach things on my end. I hope you are never in a position where you need his expertise, but if you are, I hope you find him!

If you are reading this you are likely searching for an attorney and you likely already know it’s hard to find one that will really work for you. Seth did an amazing job representing our son after his parole was revoked and was able to get him reinstated on a complicated case at the first hearing. Seth is extremely personable, communicates well, listens to his clients, genuinely cares about his clients, and is sincere, always explaining the process. Seth is very knowledgeable about the parole process and did an amazing job summarizing our son's case and representing, staying the course with a positive outcome. He will also actually return your phone calls and keep you updated. Seth went above and beyond what we might have expected from past experiences. Five stars for a job extremely well done! I will recommend Seth to anyone seeking a parole attorney!

Seth Topek is an absolutely incredible parole attorney! I hired Seth to represent a close friend of mine who was serving a 5+ year sentence for an aggravated offense that received significant negative media coverage and public scrutiny. Seth worked closely with me, my friend, and my friend’s family over the course of many months to compile and prepare a thorough and comprehensive parole packet. During the hearing itself, Seth gave a strong and compelling presentation that effectively humanized my friend before the Board, while also providing my friend’s family members the opportunity to voice their support. As a direct result of Seth’s efforts, my friend was approved for parole and will be coming home much sooner than expected! I would highly recommend Topek & Topek to anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation. We are so very grateful for your help!!

I appreciate Attorney Knox and his team for all the great work they did on my behalf. I was facing a very saddening experience and the coldest thing about it was that I never committed the crime. My life was upside down. I lost all hope and was very afraid of what lied ahead for me and my family and friends. His sons were very helpful to me just because they were raised to be noble citizens. His assistant Teresa was the most beautiful spirited person in this world that only GOD could send to anyone in their time of need. They allowed me to make payments and even then I didn’t have all the money sometimes & yet, they still worked my case. Amazing! I love them with everything that’s within me! Thank you.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
