Legal Disclaimer: Parent Defense California is a California law practice serving parents in juvenile dependency cases and in family law matters — divorce, child custody, domestic violence restraining orders, and child support. Full representation — appearing at hearings, filing on your behalf, and serving as your attorney of record — is offered by case review only under a signed Flat Fee Full Representation Agreement. The membership is a separate limited-scope service: attorney guidance and strategy without court appearances or filings. No attorney-client relationship is formed until a written agreement is signed, and the applicable agreement sets the scope of the work.
