I would stay far away from this firm.. I am in complete disbelief.. Michelle Edens took my money (which I paid in full upfront) and filed a motion to rescind, then didn’t even act on the motion. Due to her negligence, I was put in a situation where the only option left was to plead guilty to something that should have easily been dropped from the start. Michelle was very confident that the charges would be dropped, and she sweet talked me into hiring her. She and her colleague were laughing at the charges due to my clear dash cam footage showing that the officer pulled me over for a false reason (improper lane usage, clear video showing I did not cross any street markings, or as the officer claimed that I actually hit the curb), which led to a DUI. She told me that she could almost guarantee the charges would be dropped due to my evidence. I received zero communication about what was going on with the case throughout the entire process. At the second court appearance, Michelle did not even appear in person as I was instructed to. I wasted almost 7 hours of my time (including an hour and 40 minutes to drive there and back) when I could have just appeared via Zoom as she did for a continuance. I also had to speak to the judge, as Michelle decided to go on Zoom for 10 minutes and log off before my case could be heard. I was literally the last person in the courtroom and had to call her office multiple times and send multiple emails for her to get back on. I was then told that they (Michelle & Jason Kunowski) would send me any evidence they received from the state and that they would keep me updated. Not a single word from them besides telling me to complete a DUI evaluation. I came to court for the third time (which I was led to believe would be the final hearing with a rescission) only to see that they sent a lawyer I have never met or talked to. He then tries to confirm with me that I have been updated with what is going on and if I have any questions about the plea agreement. I had zero clue what was going on with the case and was surprised to find out that they had already drawn up an agreement for me to plead guilty to the DUI. This new lawyer was also confused as to why I was not told anything. I don’t hold anything against him, as he did try his best by asking the state for a rescission attached to the agreement on my request (I initially was not going to sign off on the agreement) but was instantly denied. Apparently my evidence was never used, nor was there any attempt to actually defend me, and they wanted me to take whatever offer the state threw out. Knowing how far along I already was with the court process and how badly I have been represented by this firm, I couldn’t think of any other option. Now I have to deal with an additional $3k+ in fees and fines, a year of court supervision, a license suspension, and multiple DUI classes. Let this be a WARNING… There are plenty of skilled, competent lawyers out there, so look elsewhere!

Mr. Kunowski is an excellent attorney and helped me get a traffic violation charge reduced to a much lower violation. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking.

I have needed Tom’s legal help multiple times, for myself and my husband. Tom is an incredible attorney and an amazing human being!! You don’t cross paths with many people, who will look at you without any judgement & see all the good you have to offer this world. Tom genuinely wants to see you succeed and have a better future! He goes above and beyond to help you achieve that! He is always there for you, any time of day, no matter what. He is honest, very reasonable and will shoot you straight! If anyone needs an attorney he is definitely the person to call! This man has literally changed our lives and I don’t know where we would be without him!

He assured us he would take care of my brother and he did! Mr. Pritchett is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I would trust him with all of my legal matters! I most certainly would use him again!!!

Most people are unsure what to do when they find out they are on the CACI list. Fortunately, we found Tate Lounsbery at an early stage of the brutal battle that we were now in. Tate let us know the process would be a struggle filled with long periods of heart ache and doubts but encouraged us alongthe way to keep our heads, and to be calm with every hurdle we would face. With Tate's skill and experience we finally prevailed. The judge not only sided with us but also reprimanded the opposing council because of their false accusations and unprofessional handling of our case. Your best and only choice for CACI accusation is Tate Lounsbery.

God forbid you ever need a CACI attorney, but if you do, Tate is the best! He’s so smart, intelligent and overall just a very well prepared attorney. Tate knows the law, he’s so knowledgeable about his field and that’s so important when hiring an attorney. His team is also extremely knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I’m so glad I picked Tate, hands down the best decision. You will not regret hiring Tate!

If you're in need of an attorney, I highly recommend Colby Lewis. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease. Colby's approach is both professional and personable, making it easy to discuss sensitive issues and complex legal matters.
Colby took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided clear, actionable advice every step of the way. His dedication to my case was evident, and his expertise ensured I felt confident in the legal process. Colby's compassionate demeanor, combined with his deep knowledge of the law, truly sets him apart.
What impressed me most was Colby's commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He consistently communicated updates and was always available to answer questions, making me feel like a priority.
If you're seeking an attorney who genuinely cares and will fight tirelessly on your behalf, look no further than Colby Lewis. His exceptional service and heartfelt dedication make him the best choice for anyone needing an attorney. I will certainly utilize his firm for any future legal needs.

They communicated with me about everything, even when I had a simple question or was just checking in on how things were going. Colby was able to get me more money than I thought I would be receiving as well. HIRE COLBY!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelli on a business dispute that, at times, felt much more emotional than professional to me. From the beginning, Kelli demonstrated not only her legal expertise but also an incredible ability to navigate the emotionally charged aspects of the case. Her professionalism, compassion, and strategic thinking helped guide me through what was an extremely draining process.
Kelli was always available when I needed her, keeping me informed and offering clear guidance at every step. She fought for my interests with skill and determination, ensuring the best possible outcome. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about both the case and my well-being.
If you need an attorney who will not only provide excellent legal representation but also be a steady and supportive ally in tough times, I highly recommend Kelli. She’s everything you want in a lawyer—strong, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

He is the best attorney I’ve ever met. Although my case wasn’t as serious as others, he still treated it with great care and professionalism. When I offered to increase his fee, he declined, saying he only wanted a fair price. Thanks to his expertise, my case ended with the best possible outcome. Moreover, he is genuinely kind and always willing to help those in need. I will definitely recommend him to any friends who might need legal assistance. Thank you again for all your help!

Really bad about communicating the court processes and the my case portal they use is not user friendly, so when you ask about the billing even Susan have a difficult time going through it.
On top of that, I didn’t seem like a priority for them. Maybe because I was a father in a family law case. Because every time I called to get an update on the case, I had to recap what was done on the case so far for them ,as well as, the evidence I provided. At the end of it all, it was the other party’s job to write the final docs. Instead of informing me, Elton Jenkins Law decided to do it and charge me $412.60 for the doc creation. This was a month after I payed my bill in full. FATHERS AND FAMILY LAW CASES BEWARE

I am so grateful to Katie Walsh for her professional and compassionate service. From Day 1, dealing with completely panicked parents who had no idea what was going on and why our young teen was being detained, Katie was able to provide the information, and the guidance, we needed to calm down and move forward.
Katie responded very quickly to our enquiry for help, spent time with us on the phone on a weekend, told us what to do/say and what not to, what the process would be, and most of all provided assurance.
Katie knows the Orange County Juvenile Court, the people and how it works inside and out. She is worth every penny. She got our teen back home with us as quickly as was possible and steered us through the court and probation process to getting the most positive outcome we could expect. The case is dismissed and sealed!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Don't hesitate to call Kate Walsh for a brief consultation - you won't regret it.

Will Bruzzo is honest, reliable, responsible, savvy, confident, flexible, knowledgeable, reassuring, calm,
experienced, communicative, supportive, patient and well-connected. What set Will apart initially, was that he was the only attorney that responded to me virtually immediately after I submitted a contact form. He listened to me and didn’t judge my behavior nor actions. After becoming familiar with what
transpired, he developed a plan – a reasonable plan based on the circumstances and evidence. As the
process unfolded, at each decision point, he described the possible outcomes and then recommended that he believed was the best course of action - but always allowed me to make the final decision on
which way (when and how) to go. He was never patronizing and was careful to never over-promise. He always answered my texts, emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I never felt that he was “aloof,” avoiding me, too busy or difficult to reach. I never felt that he “didn’t care.” While I went through multiple emotional stages (anger, frustration, confusion, helplessness, impatience, uncertainty, etc.), he remained resolved that his plan would work. He never promised that his plan would be 100% successful, but he laid it out clearly and stuck to it. He knew most of the other players (judges, DAs and courtroom staff) and they knew him. Over time, he has become familiar with how specific judges decide on certain
issues. Some judges are more lenient in certain areas, while others are more strict. He combined this experiential knowledge with his patient and methodical manner to guide me to the best possible outcome. In the end, his plan worked – exactly how he said it would. He would probably be the first to
say that my case could have gone any number of other ways, but it was no accident that the plan he laid out came together just as we both had hoped.
Regarding money, it's hard to tell if Will's fees were appropriate or excessive, because I didn't have time to "shop around." Could I have "saved money" by hiring someone else? Maybe. But you never know if someone else will charge less upfront, but then nickel and dime you to death later on. Will had a fixed fee that I thought was pretty high, but looking back, his services (and his character) were worth every penny.
Will Bruzzo is a straight-shooter, does what he says, and is a man of his word. Tough to put a price tag on that.

I watched Mr. Leiva go way above and beyond for a very close family member the first time I ever met him. Throughout the entire process he stayed in touch with my family to let us know what was going on at all times this was in 2002 in a federal court room.
In 2012 Mr. Leiva was called by my family again for what was a very very weak case but very very serious charges and accusations he treated as if it were like any other case that he puts hrs and hrs of work witch is very highly appreciated. You most definitely want his brilliant and savvy mind on your side 100%.
I had issue with Mr. Leiva and of course with a mind as brilliant as his it doesn’t come cheap, nor should it but after spending as much as my family did throughout the years one would like to think I can give this family a break. Like I stated my family has been relying on Mr Leiva since 2002 for a wide range of cases, knowing my family’s personal situation I just would have thought that just maybe he would be a bit more understanding when it came to the amount of money that was spent especially in my case .
With that said I’d recommend him to loved ones without hesitation, he’s simply on a different level!
10/10 without a doubt!

They made sure thru email, phone, and text messages that I was aware of court dates and what dates I needed to show up for. Giving me a reminder before my court dates.

My review is for Dawn Marie White. Is there a zero stars option? You should hire her if you like to be misunderstood, talked down to, and ignored, all while paying her handsomely. Dawn Marie is not competent for the position she is in. She is currently a court appointed parenting coordinator, to help with making timely decisions about parenting that would otherwise go to court. My ex and I pay her the price of a normal lawyer so that we don't clog up the court over something the judge sees as frivolous (A FATHER'S PARENTING TIME IS NOT FRIVOLOUS). That would also take forever and then there'd be no decision due to it being a moot point, water under the bridge. So far I've paid Dawn Marie White $5000 and literally all she's done is tell me what she's not going to do. My $5000 retainer is gone and there are zero court orders or official decisions that came of it. Now she wants me to pay her more and she's ignoring me until I do, I assume.
When we first met, she wanted to meet via video call and then she made us turn our camera on but she left hers off. I should have known she'd be horrible from the first meeting. Since then I've just asked for equity in parenting time for things like dividing school holidays evenly. Currently, we go by the IPTG which does not divide the non-school days fairly between the two parents in my school district. There are administrative leave days and snow make up days that serve as holidays to the children, but those all go to the mother because the IPTG doesn't mention those days. When I asked Dawn Marie to do something about it and give me half the days that the children are out of school, she said she'd make decisions on a case by case basis (code for "I'm piecemealing your billable time so I can charge you more and deplete your retainer faster"). Then when I asked her at the time when the children were going to be out, she said it was too late and that I should have asked earlier. So yeah...buyer beware.

I was so lucky to find Morgan Lake when I did. I bought a Jeep in Puyallup, Washington, drove it for 4 hours on I-90, then watched one of its wheels suddenly sheer off it at the studs. The dealership was unwilling to make things right, so I got in touch with Lake Law to understand my options. I, a Florida resident, felt properly lost trying to pick up the pieces after being cheated by a Washington used car dealer, but with Morgan's help, I had what I needed to get this issue resolved.
Morgan Lake spoke with me on the phone extensively. He made sure that I was not only aware of my options, but clearly understood each of them. He gave me action steps which I have followed to great effect. Lake Law is a 10/10 law firm and Morgan Lake is a 10/10 attorney. He is a class act.

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.
