I was thrilled to have Jordan work on my expungement case. He always explained everything to me and put my mind at ease. I thought that his rates were very fair and I was very pleased with his level of commitment to me. He would call me and make sure that I was aware of where we were in the process. He gave me his personal number in case I had questions and he wasn't at the office. I never felt like I was alone in this confusing process. I'm very grateful to him.

Where do I begin! Taylor Dahl is an absolute rockstar and a wonderful human being. She came highly recommended two years ago and I am thankful she took time from her busy schedule to fit me in. I have used her services for child custody, emancipation, adoption, and divorce and have been extremely satisfied every single time. She has fought for my daughters as if they were her own and has won every case with ease. Don’t let her calm demeanor fool you, she is a shark in court and always has her client’s best interest in mind.

While facing an extremely prejudicial command bias while on Active Duty, Taylor was not only an immense help with an extremely uncooperative local civilian investigation, but with also correcting an error with my military discharge paperwork. In both instances, Taylor's commitment to my sense of justice, my future and correcting an error (per Army Regulations, AR 635-8 and AR 601-210) have done everything towards, what I believe standing up for a Lower Enlisted Soldier. If facing either civilian or military investigation, criminal charges or divorce, Taylor Dahl would be the first person I'd call in Clarksville.

Kevin, did an excellent job with a multi year very difficult case. It took teamwork, persistence , patience ,and expertise to get us over the finish line. He even recovered some of the legal fees. One year later, Kevin was still there for us. There are many bumps in the road after a divorce settlement. It has been great to have Kevin’s continued support and advise. First class!

I hired Kevin Kelly In 2011 while I was enlisted in the military, stationed overseas, hadn’t seen my son in person for the better part of 2 years, and I was a single male at the time. Kevin always steered me in the right direction and warned me of all possible outcomes with my case. He always was straight forward and honest with me with everything, never leading me down a bad path once. I remember always getting off the phone with Kevin feeling a thousand times better knowing he was working his hardest for me. He always had my sons best interest in mind as well as mine. When it was all said and done I left the courthouse in absolute shock, Kevin had won me my case and more importantly got my son in my hands with custody in a stable home where I knew he was safe. I will forever be grateful for Kevin and the hours of hard work he put in for me.

I have hired Kevin multiple times for legal separation, divorce etc. He plans, executes and follows through exactly what he promises. More than that, he always went above and beyond to help guide me through the emotional, financial and psychological roller coaster that these cases bring with them. His advice and contacts (brokers, agents, finance) beat my expectations. He always was there for my smart, dumb and repeated questions I had in a world that quite frankly confuses me. We have worked together for 9 years and he is not only my attorney, he is my friend.

Desperate for assistance, entangled in the BOP's web of bureaucracy, and a family member with health issues, we needed an attorney with experience, knowledge, results driven, and of exceptional talents, fortunately, we were recommended to Richard Sparaco. Richard and his colleagues negotiated the muddy waters of the Compassionate Release Act and First Step Act to provide us with a compelling legal drive through the BOP Administrative roadblocks and onto a precedent setting path for Compassionate Release for our family member in the dire straights of the COVID-19 crisis while incarcerated and in ill health. Richard proved himself to be a man of his reputation, which we later found, was profound, and eventually succeeded where lesser Counsel would have faltered. For anyone that is looking for an experienced, intellectual, and forthright attorney with legal acumen and the tenacity to carry that seemingly insurmountable case forward, Richard would be the attorney to seek out. This is an attorney who cares, communicates, is upfront about the situation your facing, the risks, and who is not afraid to take the cases other attorneys lack the courage to push forward. We're grateful to have Richard and his team in our corner, they made a difference. We thank them dearly.

Richard is an attorney with a rare combination: he consistently exhibits great skill and knowledge with a friendly, direct approach that is refreshing. He is always personable and is a man of high integrity. Richard was very informative in walking through the process and what to expect. He's also very quick to respond to any questions or concerns along the way. Richard has become an invaluable part of my professional network. I depend on his legal advice to help me avoid any legal issues. Richard is an outstanding litigator who will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of a just outcome. My highest recommendation!

He kept me up to date with every little thing going on. He will not steer you wrong and fight for you until the very end. If you're in trouble, he's the man to call and consult with.

I hired Michael G. Palmer of Palmer/George Law firm as my criminal attorney. In a criminal case it is important to establish a time line. Michael’s meticulous attention to detail did just that, allowing for a very congested mound of facts, figures, specifics, and hearsay to all be succinctly aligned to tell a story to the jury. He surrounds himself with a very skilled, efficient, tenacious staff and consultants, who will in turn, benefit you as the client. His staff’s courtroom preparation was spot on and Mr. Palmer’s professional interaction, clear communication to the jury, witness, and judge surpassed all expectations. One hears constant recommendations for him or her as a “good attorney,” but when it comes to Michael G. Palmer, he IS one of the top Criminal Lawyers in the state, and he proves it on a consistent basis.

I have a close friend who was falsely accused of a horrible crime and he and his staff handled the entire case as a real pro and got her an extremely fast acquittal from the jury. Mike is a defense attorney "force to be reckoned with"! Not only is he extremely professional, qualified and experienced, he also has an AMAZING and UNMATCHED presence and demeanor in a trial setting. To quote my husband..."Watching him in the courtroom was mesmerizing....Mike was BORN to do this!" Worth every penny! I have also used Mike myself for a small family law issue but it didn't include a trial or any hearings. I have had other family members use him as well. I highly recommend him!

My son had a legal issue at school, naturally I was pretty freaked out. I called Mr. Provost after being given his number by another lawyer. It was his cell phone surprisingly. He answered the phone and set up a phone consultation later that night. He called back and discussed the law, gave general information and calmed me down. I asked to meet him at his office the next day and he had me wait until the school resource officer called since it might not be necessary. He gave me advice on how to handle the conversation. It turns out that everything was OK, as he said it would be, and I did not need to even meet him. I am amazed that he was so free with his time and advice. I actually mailed a check and a thank you even though he said payment was not necessary. I am truly impressed!

Robert and Robin are a team that treats you as a person and listens and acts upon your legal troubles. Robert was successful in overcoming a denied hearing loss claim with the Federal Government. His and contacts research was instrumental in getting the Governments top appeals staff (Judges, not regular appeals people) to advise that my case was clearly legitimate. Another time Robert and Robin met me at the nursing home where my Mother was at, to notarize some important papers. They came about 15 miles on their lunch hour and didn't charge me a dime for it. Very likeable and understanding people. Will definitely go back and visit and hire for any legal matters.

Natalie made the best out of a bad situation. Divorce sometimes comes out of nowhere, and when children are involved the emotional toll that takes can be paralyzing. Natalie and her paralegal Diana did an amazing job walking me through the process with great communication and advise. Many times she had to ground me in the facts even when the outcome seemed to be unfair. Her knowledge of the law and the process made things turn out the best I could hope for. Sometimes the results aren't what you want, but she was able to explain how in the long run it would protect me. If you need someone on your side I can't recommend her enough. A+++

I hired attorney Karen Pittman-Pace for an entire year. It was a very complicated civil case. It was connected to another criminal case in another MO county. The Father was being denied access to his Baby. At first, it seemed impossible to get anything at court. But Pittman-Pace managed to win the case step by step, until Father and Baby were finally back together and happy. The whole family is now healing. Justice has been rightfully served in both civil and criminal courts. In addition, the Judge granted an Order of Protection and a Temporary Restraining Order in my favor, thanks to the work of Pittman-Pace. I highly recommend Karen Pittman-Pace, an experienced and innovative attorney that will fight for your legal and human rights even if you are about to give up. She represents justice and hope.

Chrstina Clare North (a.k.a. Christina Campany) was my attorney for 6 months in a complex case that lasted my entire 15 year old's lifetime. During the time I was represented by Christina, she guided me, supported me as a parent, respected me and helped me win joint custody of my child which is exactly what I needed. My child relocated to the east coast without a hitch, and the judge listened to her recommendations regarding final placement with me. I loved Christina's winning approach, her honesty and her positivity. She made the process less stressful and was the VERY BEST attorney I've ever had in ANY legal matter. I strongly recommend Christina when you need legal advice, to navigate complex familial issues, or to reach mediation when dealing with two parents.

If you want a honest attorney who will explain the law and not bill you your life savings, Christina will do what is right to achieve a fair judgement.

Both men and woman will be represented fairly if the client is honest and she will listen to opposing council to confirm her clients statements.

We hired Mrs Jean to help us in an educational dispute. She was always punctual in our meeting times, returning phone calls and emails. We were blessed to have favor shown on our side and I attribute that to Mrs Jean's dedication to helping my family and God's covering. Lisa Duckworth & family

Our child has many disabilities and the school system has been very difficult to deal with. They continuously lie and refuse to give appropriate services and adhere to the IEP. We finally hired Ms. Estes. She got results. She is very professional, caring and determined. She doesn't allow the school system get away with doing the wrong thing. Ms. Estes is your child's BEST ADVOCATE. She does her research and is knowledgeable. We are very pleased with everything that Ms. Estes has done for our child. She has been very responsive to our needs. We are confident in Ms. Estes abilities and guidance that we are now a team working on our child's educational future. We highly recommend Ms. Estes.

My children have benefited greatly from having had Jean attend our IEP meetings. Having her involved has meant that my children are receiving the services that they need to be successful in school. There are so many things I appreciate about her. She's professional, she's dogged in her attempts to get my children the services that they need, and she creates as little drama as possible. My children are still going to have to attend these schools and classes after the IEP - she makes a concerted effort not to make enemies while getting their needs met. I highly recommend her.

Alex Harper is an excellent attorney and a true professional who cares about his clients! I was wrongly accused of impaired driving, and Alex was able to have my DMV hearing set aside and went the extra mile by advocating on my behalf to have the DA dismiss the case. He's a good man to have on your side, and he most definitely will do his very best on your behalf. I highly recommend him!

For a matter involving a security guard working for a well-known theater with lots of power, I interviewed 5 attorneys after reading "questions to ask before hiring an attorney" (so I was well prepared). The others were very good, but I thought Mr. Harper would be best. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and well-spoken. He explained procedures, options available to me, and what he would be doing and when. He was very detail-oriented and timely. The outcome of my case was exactly what I had hoped to get. If he handled other fields of law, I would hire him for them too.

I was charged with carjacking in Oakland, CA. Mr. Harper took my case. He worked really hard and was talking to the DA all the time. Mr. Harper convinced the DA that I wasn't there when the carjacking happenned, even though I was in the car when it was stopped by police a few days later. Mr. Harper made the police do a new line-up, and convinced the judge that the video of my police questioning was done wrong. The DA wasn't allowed to use my police interview video. At the last minute, the DA offered me a misdemeanor petty theft charge. I was sent home with credit for time served instead of going to prison. I will be thankful to Mr. Harper for his work for the rest of my life.

Ray is the best lawyer I've had, and I've had a few. He is well informed, punctual, and never misses an appointment or hearing. He's reasonably priced compared to most other attorneys. Ray has represented me for more than a year, and I wouldn't trust anyone but him to be on my side when I have to go to court, you shouldn't either.

I have consulted with Ray on two occasions. The first time I was looking more for advice . He was very forth coming and knowledgeable. I had never needed a lawyer before and was very apprehensive. He instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. It turned out that I didn't need a lawyer at that time. Again, I found need of advice, and was back in his office. He was very helpful and caring but because I was not working at the time, I went with a court appointed attorney. Two times I consulted with him, never retaining him. He took the time to check on me and continued to care , even after I left his office. I pray I never need another attorney, but if I do he is the one I will call. A class act!

Mr. Hall has exceeded my expectations. My son picked up a drug charge and I thought he was going to get sentenced to some serious time. The first attorney we had didn't do anything for him, and I dropped way too much money on that guy. Mr Hall took my son's case and things started finally getting done. His office staff is helpful and knows what is happening when I call. They let me put half of the retainer on a credit card and took payments on the second half. He got my son a better deal. I wish I had called him first.

Pack your patience. This fine gentleman has a way of getting things done, they take awhile... but the way he drags things out with the prosecutors keeps the leverage on your side. There were times I lost my patience with him, but in the end I was able to see that his strategy is purposeful and effective!

Edward was very helpful in helping us with my wife's speeding ticket. After giving him the specifics of the case, he requested various documents and provided valuable insight into possible outcomes. He kept us informed on every aspect of the case. Edward was awesome! We highly recommend him for his expertise, knowledge and compassion.

Edward handled my reckless driving case and becuase of his knowledge of the Fairfax Court System he was able to get my ticket reduced out of the reckless category. He was always responsive to me and gave me homework to be prepared for my case. Without his good guidance, I feel I would have been convicted. He is a wonderful attorney as well as being a really good person. Just a class act. You can not go wrong hiring Edward for your case. You will be glad that you did hire him.

I have known Ed Cuccias for over 15 years; he is a great lawyer and good friend. I have had to call on him for his legal services and expertise on two occasions to assist my son after he was stopped and cited for Reckless Driving (Speed in excess of 25 mph over the posted speed limit). Ed met with us and explained the seriousness of the offense and possible consequences (6 Points off his license, misdemeanor conviction and possible jail time). While a parents’ threats of the consequences for poor driving habits sometimes go unheeded, Ed’s explanation of the seriousness of these charges put the fear of God into my son. His knowledge of the Virginia State and county traffic court system, Police, Sheriffs, Highway Patrol and prosecutors makes him the attorney to call if you have any legal issue associated with driving violations in Virginia. In one case the charges were not prosecuted and in the other they were reduced significantly. (Why 2 offenses you might ask; same road, same time of day and my son late for work yet another 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.

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.
