When a child is
removed from a
family by the
State or when
the State makes
an
allegation of
child abuse,
neglect, or
abandonment,
parents have a
right to legal
representation.
If a parent
cannot afford an
attorney and is
deemed indigent
by the
court, an
attorney from
RC4 will be
appointed. RC4's
attorneys and
staff are
specially
trained in
dependency law
and procedures,
and they are
committed to
achieving the
best possible
outcome for
their clients.
Below are the
dependency units
by county and,
where
applicable,
court division.
If
you have any
questions about
who is handling
your case or any
concerns, you
may
either call the
main office or
one of the
managing
attorneys.
Note: (at)
denotes @ for
the email
addresses.
