We work with families in child protection court. We have represented parents, children and foster parents in this process. Our goal is reunite the family. If that isn't possible, we creatively work to create solutions that keep the family ties alive. Child protection court is a unique area onto itself. The rules and procedures are very different than family court or criminal defense and it takes an experienced practitioner to vigorously represent clients there.

Experts

Christa is amazing and she coordinated me to work with Jessica Rugani a former prosecutor that works for the firm now. Jessica was detailed, precise, knowledgeable, and worked very well with the prosecutor in my case. I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome. Jessica did a great job communicating wit...h me and helping me understand my case and helping me process the information. I had a previous lawyer who really screwed up and I was not happy and Jessica and Christa took over my case and so I was very worried that I’d have a bad experience but everything they said they were going to do, they did. The outcome they said we were going to get, we got. I’m very happy with results and I can’t Thank you enough!

Highly recommend

After many years in the family court system, I finally found an attorney that would best represent the needs and wishes of my children. The whole staff at Groshek law showed genuine interest in getting to know our case. Mrs. Groshek treated me and our children as individuals and I felt very included ...in all the decisions regarding our case. The whole team at Groshek Law were very responsive and always available for questions. There was no "guessing" when it came to fees or retainers. I know we would not be in the place we are now, if it wasn't for Christa's keen legal experience. I would and have recommended Groshek Law to family and friends and all the single mothers and fathers that need assistance navigating through the difficult legal process of the family court system.

State v. M. M.

After extensive pretrial discovery and Paradee motions which allowed us access to the complaining witness' school and psychological records, we found evidence of their penchant for lying about abuse. The prosecutor dismissed the case.
