Paid Case Advocate
When you are dealing with CPS, child welfare, or a juvenile dependency court case, it can be difficult to keep track of allegations, court orders, reports, deadlines, services, communications, and evidence.
We help parents organize the information surrounding their case, identify important documents that may be missing, build a clear case timeline, and prepare organized information that can be shared with their attorney or public defender when appropriate.

Attorney Communication Support
Help organize questions, concerns, timelines, and supporting information so communication with your attorney or public defender can be more focused and productive.
Phase 1: Document Review & Case Assessment
The first step is understanding what has happened in your case, what documents currently exist, what information may still be needed, and what issues deserve closer attention.
During Phase 1, we review the information you provide, organize the case history, identify important documents and events, and create a clearer picture of where your case currently stands.
The goal is to turn a large amount of confusing case information into something organized and easier to work with.
California Juvenile Dependency & CPS Cases
California dependency cases can involve multiple hearings, petitions, court orders, social worker reports, reunification services, visitation issues, evaluations, and ongoing review by the juvenile court.
Having your records and case history organized can make it easier to understand what has occurred and to communicate important information to the professionals involved in your case.
