The recent trend in this area is an increasing number of claims by natural parents and Court Appointed Special Advocates for children and adults placed within the social services system. This includes wards of the court, those with mental and physical handicaps and children removed from their natural parents by the court for their protection. Our attorneys specialize in Titles 17 and 22 of the Code of California Regulations directly applicable this area of the law.
