Child Protective Services Civil Rights
Once a child is taken into custody by the government, that child is entitled to be closely supervised by a well qualified, skilled caregiver to ensure the child is safe, secure, and well cared for.
Foster Care Abuse / Shelter Care Abuse
Tragically, abuse and neglect in these settings can take many forms, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, inadequate supervision, and medical neglect.
Social Worker Negligence
Social workers are entrusted with safeguarding the well-being of our state’s most vulnerable children. When those professionals fail in their duties, the consequences for children and families can be devastating.

Testimonials
Shawn is a lawyer who truly cares about the children of this world. When they don't have a voice he speaks for them. Thank God we have people in this world like him to represent our children. I truly appreciate what you are doing. Thanks so much.
– Rachel B.
This man is better than a good attorney, he is a good human being. When I was faced with an overwhelming situation, and unable to retain him for myself, he STILL was kind enough to send me a copy of a winning claim for me to use as a template in my own case.
– John C.
For those in SoCal who have had their children removed illegally, this is where you need to be. If he can't help, at the very least, he will direct you to it.
– Lucy T.
