ALL Trial Lawyers - Riverside CPS Lawyers, CA

Fearless CPS Defense and Juvenile Dependency Advocacy in Riverside

Few events in life are as terrifying or destabilizing as an unannounced knock at the door from a child welfare social worker. Operating from offices on Pierce Street in Riverside, ALL Trial Lawyers provides aggressive legal defense for parents, relatives, and guardians facing child protective investigations throughout Riverside County. When the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) initiates an inquiry, consulting a cps defense attorney immediately is the single most critical step you can take to prevent the state from removing your children from your home.

Lead attorney Mohammad Mo Abuershaid has established a statewide reputation as one of California foremost child welfare trial lawyers. Having begun his legal career as a public defender handling complex juvenile matters, he is certified annually as a juvenile dependency practitioner authorized to litigate dependency matters across all California counties. Recognized by Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers Ones to Watch in America, Abuershaid understands the exact protocols DPSS social workers use to build their cases, how to challenge biased risk assessments, and how to counter county counsel inside the specialized Riverside County Juvenile Dependency Court.

Defending Parental Rights During DPSS Investigations and Detention

Child welfare investigations move swiftly, and critical mistakes made during early interviews can have irreversible consequences. The firm intervenes at the earliest stages to safeguard family autonomy:

• Investigation Defense and Home Visits: Advising parents on their constitutional rights during unannounced social worker visits, preventing unlawful warrantless searches, and stopping coerced safety plans.
• Emergency Detention Hearings: Representing parents at the mandatory 72-hour detention hearing following an emergency removal, aggressively arguing for the immediate release and return of the children.
• WIC Section 300 Petition Defense: Dissecting formal county petitions to challenge vague or exaggerated claims of general neglect, parental substance abuse, or failure to protect.
• Challenging False Medical Allegations: Collaborating with independent pediatricians, radiologists, and forensic experts to disprove false or misinterpreted allegations of physical abuse or bone fractures.

Contested Dependency Trials and Custody Restoration

When DPSS refuses to dismiss unfounded allegations, ALL Trial Lawyers prepares every matter for a full evidentiary trial to achieve complete family reunification:

• Jurisdictional and Dispositional Trials: Cross-examining social workers, presenting favorable witness testimony, and introducing documentary proof to defeat county petitions before juvenile court judges.
• Reunification Plans and Review Hearings: Enforcing court-mandated family reunification services and advocating for increased visitation schedules during six-month and twelve-month review proceedings.
• Section 388 Modification Petitions: Filing formal petitions based on substantial changes of circumstances to terminate court jurisdiction, restore legal child custody, and bring children home.
• Defending Against Parental Rights Termination: Vehemently opposing Section 366.26 permanency planning hearings to prevent the permanent severing of fundamental parental rights and halt adoption.
