Shelter Care Abuse Lawyers
Securing Justice for Vulnerable Children
Children placed in shelters, group homes, or residential treatment facilities are supposed to be safe. Tragically, abuse and neglect in these settings can take many forms, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, inadequate supervision, and medical neglect. These traumas leave already vulnerable children further harmed. If your child has suffered in shelter care, know that they have rights, and you have the power to hold those responsible for the harm accountable to your child.
How We Help with Shelter Care Abuse Cases:
- Investigating Allegations: We carefully gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to uncover what happened to your child.
- Filing Claims and Lawsuits for Damages: We pursue compensation for physical injuries, emotional trauma, and lasting harm caused by shelter care abuse or neglect.
- Systemic Change: Where appropriate, we expose patterns of abuse within specific facilities and push for broader reforms to safeguard other children.
- Supporting Your Family: We connect you with resources for your child’s healing and provide compassionate legal guidance.

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.
