Dedicated CPS Defense and Family Law Attorneys

Desmond Law Group, PS is a highly specialized law firm in Olympia, Washington, known for its fierce advocacy in Dependency Law and Child Protective Services (CPS) defense. Founded by attorney Christopher Desmond, the firm is dedicated to keeping families together and protecting parents’ rights against government overreach. While many firms dabble in family law, Desmond Law Group has built a specific reputation for navigating the complex and often intimidating juvenile court system, where the stakes-losing custody of a child-are incredibly high.

Protecting Parental Rights

When the state intervenes in a family’s life, having a knowledgeable attorney is critical. Desmond Law Group, PS focuses on cases where families are under investigation or facing legal action from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). Their expertise includes:

• CPS Investigations: Representing parents during initial investigations to prevent unfounded findings of neglect or abuse.
• Dependency and Termination: Fighting in court to prevent the termination of parental rights and working towards family reunification.
• Juvenile Defense: Defending minors accused of criminal offenses, ensuring one mistake does not define a child’s future.
• Adoption: Assisting families with the joyous legal process of formalizing adoptions, including step-parent and foster-to-adopt cases.

Criminal and Licensing Defense

Beyond family matters, the firm provides robust representation in Criminal Defense, particularly for DUI charges and other misdemeanors. They also represent childcare providers and foster parents in licensing disputes, helping them protect their livelihoods when facing administrative actions. The team understands that these legal issues are often interconnected and provides a holistic defense strategy.
