Melissa is terrific! As estate planning attorney for my wife and I, we found Melissa very personable, and certainly knowledgeable as she patiently answered all our questions, what-ifs and how-to's. We never felt rushed to just get it done, and she endeavored to ensure we understood the processes. Document presentation was impressive! Highly recommend!!

My ex-husband and I were introduced to Mary in january of 2017. At that time things were very rocky for the two of us and we were not agreeing on much. The demeanor and ease of Mary's mediation with both of our lawyers present was so calming and effective. We both left that session feeling as tho we wished we had went straight with mediation and chosen Mary from the beginning. In May of 2017 my ex and I decided that another mediation session was in our best interest. We contacted Mary and she was able to get us in right away. This session was very different than the first. It was just my ex and I with Mary no lawyers present at that time. She sat and listened to us ... presented us with what she heard and where we needed to go. It was the ideal situation in any custody/divorce matter. Calm, collected and easy. We settled in an hours time. She fairly charged us and promised to always be a resource to the two of us in the future if necessary. Fast forward to my settlement hearing ... I ran into her at the court house and was nervous and worried because my attorney was late. She gave me a hug told me how impressed she was by the coparenting my ex and I were doing and insured me that everything would be ok. She also said that she would represent me if need be. She is amazing!! I will always be grateful to her for helping us during this awkward and heart wrenching time. Would recommend to anyone!

Mary was fantastic in helping me get my daughter who was 6 years old at the time out of an extremely unsafe situation. Mary is smart, trustworthy, personable, tough and knows the law. She is great in the court room and it did not matter that I was a man trying to rescue my daughter, she cared about what was best for my daughter. Mary's experience and expertise helped change a little girls life. I will be forever grateful to her for all her hard work and am thankful every day when I look at my daughter who is safe, happy and is doing great. Thank you so much!!! Don :)

John Johnson demonstrated the breadth of his legal expertise and knowledge when I hired him to represent me
in a complex legal case. He explained the legal process in a manner easily understood by a layperson and adequately

and I believe his integrity is impeccable.
For potential clients seeking legal representation, I highly recommend Mr. John Johnson.

Working with Nyree Kolanjian was a wonderful experience from top to bottom. Not only does she exude knowledge and in-depth experience, she has a magnetic personality which added a friendly and light air, to what is considered a heavy task for anyone to plan. She's matter of fact, balanced, professional and friendly. We would recommend Nyree over and over again.

I spoke with Leigha about various child custody questions and concerns that I was having with the other parent. She was honest, polite and up front on all of the possible outcomes. These characteristics are so important in a lawyer when one needs to go to family court. Thank you, Leigha!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Leigha and everyone else I came in contact with at High&YounesLLC. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Leigha. She did such a great job on my custody case. She is professional, hard working, articulate. I really cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me I really appreciated what an attentive listener she was and I never felt judged when sensitive material was brought to the table in my long drawn out custody case. Ms Wichelt worked with me every step of the way and I felt as though she respected and took into consideration my feelings, thoughts and opinions. She always gave great legal advice and I commended her for being reasonable and realistic about potential outcomes. As one can imagine in certain cases, such as a custody case or divorce, emotions can become heightened and she was always a sound voice of reason yet remained focused on the goal. She was always a perfect balance of professional and also very approachable. She always got back to me in a timely manner which was important to me. Leigha exceeded my needs as an attorney and I'm very grateful to her for that. I would, and have, highly recomended her and her team for any of your legal needs.

I have been using Leigha as my legal counsel for almost a year now. She works so tirelessly to ensure her clients are heard, as well as making sure they understand the process.

I will definitely recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel for their situation and I am certainly grateful to have her on my side of the court.

Twice now I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Bernabe-Rice and her paralegal, Jenna, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their services. Ms. Bernabe-Rice exemplifies professionalism in every aspect of her work. She is knowledgeable, attentive, and always made me feel like a priority. Her expertise and dedication were evident throughout my case, and I felt confident knowing I was in capable hands.
Additionally, Jenna’s punctuality and efficiency were remarkable. She ensured that all documents were prepared and submitted on time, which greatly alleviated my stress. Her attention to detail and prompt responses to my inquiries were much appreciated.
Together, Ms. Bernabe-Rice and Jenna make an exceptional team. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Palmer Law Group is truly amazing! They are knowledgeable, considerate, patient, and understanding. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a legal group to represent them. They made me feel valued and they listened to all my concerns and explained every step in a manner that was easy to understand and at no point did they make me feel inadequate about my level of knowledge about the law. I needed some who was a “no nonsense” kind of person and Ann is perfect for the job. She had my best interest in mind and focus and made sure those interest were prioritize at all times. She also made me feel very welcomed as she took my divorce case. She also does family law and I would go to her again without a doubt if I ever need representation again!

We met Ann after our last law firm dropped the case 3 weeks before trial. It is a pretty simple adjustment to visitation but we are dealing with a very unreasonable mom. Ann took the case and has been on top of it from the start. It is a pleasure to work with her and I know that regardless the outcome on 04/01/2019 she has worked hard and left it all on the table.

Ann Palmer was very thorough from the first consolation to the actual trial. She did all the background checking and fact checking for everything that came up during that time frame.

I was very pleased with Mr. Honse. I was scared, but he was always so positive and upbeat. El Centro is a small town and it helped having an attorney, like Mr. Honse, who was well-known and obviously very respected. He knew just what to do and who to talk to. Two months after the case was over I had a problem with my insurance company. I called Mr. Honse and he was glad to help me and told me there would not be an additional fee. I could not be happier.

I was falsely accused of domestic violence. My girlfriend admitted that she had lied but the police still would not drop the charges. Mr. Honse was very calm and reassuring. He kept saying the District Attorney would not take the case seriously unless I was willing to go to trial and fight. On the day the jury trial was scheduled to start, the Distict Attorney told the court they did not have enough evidence and they dismissed the case. Thank you Mr. Honse. I was ready to give up but you refused to allow me to plead guilty to something I did not do.

When faced with an unwanted divorce, Laura Urbik Kern's website impressed me as someone who was knowledgeable, compassionate & would allow me to make important life changing decisions, along with her legal expertise... she did exactly that!
From my initial consultation (I was so distraught), Laura & her staff made me feel welcome, & gave me a sense of calm. Laura answered all my questions & was very informative. I felt confident this seasoned attorney, who excelled in family law, would suitably represent me.
Throughout my 2-year divorce, Laura gave me great legal advice, often brutally honest, but always had my best interests in mind. She respected my wants/needs, & was willing to change the game plan to accommodate.
I never wanted a divorce, but I'm grateful God led me to Laura with her invaluable knowledge and experience! I'd definitely recommend her, & wouldn't hesitate to contact her office again if I ever need the advice of a top attorney!

Nedra represented me for quite a few months while working through a very complex and ongoing custody case. While I was upset and worried throughout the case, Nedra was patient, compassionate and understanding of my needs and questions. However, most of all, Nedra is very professional and talented as a lawyer and not afraid to stand her ground. I am satisfied with the outcome and she did a tremendous job in my legal representation.

Due to family issues I have unfortunately needed to contact and work with different attorneys over the years. I reached out to Micaela for a child custody matter. A minor child, who was a relative, was being abused and I needed legal advice and potentially an attorney. I am very happy I reached out to Micaela. In my first face to face meeting with Micaela I could tell something was different. She didn't just listen for key words or phrases. Micaela asked questions that demonstrated she was genuinely concerned. After the initial consultation I knew I wanted to hire her.
During the family court process, Micaela was honest about what to expect and what actions were needed. Many times I would express frustrations with government officials, and sometimes the system. Micaela was always able to help me put thing into perspective.
Working with Micaela I felt like I had a genuine advocate. She wasn't just an attorney I hired to help get a family member out of danger, she felt like a genuine partner. She always kept me informed about each step along the way. Micaela and her team were also very prepared when anything needed to be filed. Before any court appearances or filings, Micaela explained what motion was going to be filed and why. When I would ask questions about the judge, or the proceedings, or any other legal matter, Micaela was ready with an answer, or she would always get back to me in a timely manner. I appreciated her humility and honesty.
The qualities I appreciated most about Micaela were -
1 - her honesty - she was upfront about expectations
2 - her humility - she was not afraid to acknowledge her own limitations
3 - her preparation - she always had a plan B (and sometimes C) and she always explained my options. Knowing she was prepared gave me confidence in court.
4 - communication - her office was quick to respond and open
5 - genuine - I felt like she genuinely cared about my case.
6 - tenacity - I felt good knowing I have a "bulldog" on my side. I felt comfortable hearing Micaela be my (and the minor child's) advocate. I felt as if she was fighting hard for the child's safety.
I would hire Micaela again in a heartbeat. Hopefully I won't be in need of her services ever again. If I am ever in need of an attorney for child custody, Micaela will just be the first person I contact, she will be the only person I contact.
I'm very thankful that Micaela was available when I needed her services.

Micaela did a great job helping me through my divorce. She made sure to keep communication open was helpful in working with the other attorney.

I would definitely refer other to Micaela and her firm.

24 Sep, 2019 by Amanda
Kris is not only an incredibly personable, compassionate person, she is a well experienced, knowledgeable and fair attorney. From the moment we made our first call to Kris, she was prompt in her response and Kris’ caring nature heard our incident that occurred in our family that brought us to a temporary restriction in parenting time. Kris has a very no-nonsense approach to advocating for parenting rights and what is in the best interest of the children involved. In much less time than we expected, more than a few court dates and stipulations, we were relieved on the other side in having the children back 50/50.
Additionally, we are a blended family, so having an advocate that is aware of our family dynamic and situation she has been amazing at representing our family at all milestones in the court process. When dealing with our children being fed gluten on a celiac disease restricted diet, Kris advised and represented us in contempt orders for the other parent involved and re evaluating child support as needed. She is an all around amazing attorney that has really brought our family true legal representation that is second to none.

Working with her was just a flawless experience. Thank you, Sarah.

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?

- 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.

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.
