- Juvenile Delinquency: Defending minors against criminal allegations, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies, with a focus on rehabilitation over punishment.
- DCS Dependency Cases: Representing parents and relatives in actions involving allegations of abuse or neglect, fighting to prevent the termination of parental rights.
- Adoptions: Guiding families through the joyous process of adoption, including step-parent adoptions and finalizing DCS adoptions.
