When families come into contact with Child Protective Services it is often the darkest and most difficult time in their lives. CPS is a huge and powerful agency and clients who need help navigating it need someone who is well versed in it's rules and structure. I have been working with families and children for years - long before I practiced as an attorney. I can help you navigate that system to protect yourself and the children you love.

Criminal Defense 30%

It is imperative that you speak to your attorney early and often when you come into contact with law enforcement. Whether your particular problem is a minor infraction or a capital offense, your attorney should recognize that it is, quite possibly, the biggest thing in your life, and lead you through that to achieve the best possible result in your particular case.

Juvenile Law 25%

When children become involved with the legal system there are many concerns. The importance of having an attorney who is familiar with the special considerations is imperative. Juvenile Law is not criminal law with some exceptions, it is a completely different set of rules, under a completely different code. Having an attorney who understands the ins and outs can make the process simpler and faster and with better results.

Family 10%

Family law is where most people will find that they need an attorney for the first and sometimes the only time in their lives. through all of life's changes from the cradle to the grave you need an attorney who you can trust to be available to you when and how you need her. And you need to be able to build a solid working relationship that can last as your legal needs change and evolve as your life changes and evolves.

10%

Adoption 5%

I don't get to do as many adoptions as I would like. They are a wonderful way to make families whole. Private or open, birth and adoptive parents alike need a legal representative that is understanding of the particular needs of the families they serve and who can guide them to get what they need from the agreement.

Good Investment

My adult step daughter got into some trouble in the last year, she was assigned a court-appointed attorney but her father and I decided to step in. At the recommendation of a friend we contacted Ms. Duffey and have not regretted our decision. Ms. Duffey is professional, knowledgeable, straight for...ward, and very good about keeping us in the loop about the entire process. Ms. Duffey was able to let us know what to expect and what the potential outcomes could be, but she did not make any promises as to the final outcome. Ms. Duffey let my step daughter know what she needed to do to help herself and what the results would probably be if she did not. Fortunately for my stepdaughter, she did not have to spend time in jail but she could well have if she had not had such good representation. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, especially with regard to criminal law.

Our son is staying out of trouble now

When my 16 year old son got in trouble with the law and I had to take a court appointed attorney I was terrified we were going to get some new kid fresh out of law school, but I was relieved when I met Ms. Duffey. She was knowledgeable about what was going to happen when we got to court and what the... judge we would be seeing was likely to do. She didn't make us promises about the outcome, but gave us realistic possibilities and prepared us for what might happen. She talked with my son about the consequences of his bad behavior and how it was going to change his future if he continued on the same path. My son did have to spend a night in juvenile detention, but she made sure the judge considered that when he gave my son community service and probation - exactly what she told us the judge would probably do. She was quick to return our worried phone calls and helped us calm down and prepare for what was ahead. We are going to call her back when it is time to have his juvenile record sealed. I also gave her name to a friend of mine who needed some help with a contract and my friend was very happy with her services as well. We were so glad we got her.
