Child Protective Services (CPS) Cases
Juvenile Dependency Law Expertise
West County Law and the Law Office of Darren J. Kessler is the only Bay Area law firm that specializes in Child Protective Services/ WIC 300/ Social Services Agency cases. These cases apply the Welfare and Institutions Code--not the Family Code or Penal Code--so attorneys who only practice family law or criminal law are not uniquely qualified to handle these critically important cases. Unfortunately many family law and criminal defense attorneys will accept these cases only to realize they don't know how to handle this unique "collaborative" court system, the juvenile court laws, and the procedures unique to dependency. We frequently get calls from these attorneys asking for help after the damage has already been done.
