Parents Who Walked In Prepared

"I am incredibly grateful for Parent Defense California and especially for Ray, for giving me hope during one of the most difficult times in my life. When I was facing a bypass order and felt like the system had already decided I had no chance to fight for my baby, Ray reminded me that I should not give up. He helped me understand that even when the situation feels impossible, there are still steps I can take to advocate for my child and show the court how much I am willing to change, learn, and do everything necessary to be a better parent. His encouragement gave me the strength to keep fighting when I was feeling defeated and scared. Ray helped me see that I still have a voice and that I should continue advocating for my child and for our future together. Thank you, Ray, for listening to me, encouraging me, and most importantly, giving me hope when I needed it the most."

"What a fabulous and necessary service Parent Defense California is offering! I found Ray to be extremely attentive to all matters regarding my child dependency case. It was really helpful to have someone to reach out to when I had questions or concerns. If my court appointed attorney had made half the effort Ray made to answer my questions and make sure we were on the same page, I believe it would have been possible to reunify with my child in half as much time. I honestly felt like Ray was rooting for me, and capable of providing me with information that my court appointed attorney did not feel was necessary for me to receive. Thanks Ray, for allowing me to believe in myself and my ability to stand up and be counted as more than just another 'typical case'."

"Ray is amazing and fast paced! Always answers immediately and helps guide you through everything. The only attorney I would recommend to family and friends. Thank you Ray for everything you’ve done for me and my family!"
