Exceeded our expectations

I can not say enough about the impact Pamela has had on our family. We are foster parents who wanted very badly to adopt the little girl we have been fostering for nearly two years. Despite being the only family she has known, DCFS was determined to place her with distant relatives with whom our daug...hter had never met. We had navigated the system as best we could but it was clear we needed a professional to advocate on our family’s behalf. Pamela came highly recommended and with good reason. From our first conversation she put us at ease with her frankness and obvious knowledge of her craft. Mind you, this was all happening during the pandemic so we still to this date have not had the opportunity to meet her in person. Nonetheless, she instilled confidence, gave us peace of mind, and patiently guided us through every step of the process. She gave us hope when hope was due and managed our expectations when appropriate. All of that said, it is Pamela’s knowledge of the law, understanding of the children’s court system, and skill as a jurist that made her a truly exceptional choice for our family law needs. She guided us through several virtual hearings and skillfully made our case to the court. Ultimately she was successful in convincing the judge that our daughter should remain with us and we are now working through the process towards adoption. Pamela’s role in the story of how our family came to be can not be overstated. She is talented, caring, and tenacious and we could not recommend her more highly.

Absolutely Not

I hired Ms. Tripp and she rarely communicates, and went into court, made an agreement without my consent. Then, at a later court date that I was unaware of, she emails me at midnight the day of court indicating we have court - but provides no zoom call in numbers, or phone numbers, so I cannot be a ...part of the hearing. Case closes without me.

The Best

I was accused several times of sexually abusing my children. I had already been exonerated in Family court and was given Primary custody of my children. DCFS still managed to remove my children from their home. I was referred to Pamela Tripp by an outstanding criminal attorney. After speaking to ..."Pam" I hired her to represent me. Pam helped navigate my family and I through the swamp that is Edelmans courthouse, her performance was outstanding in every facet of trial. Pam was able to to fight for the best possible outcome for my case and have the sexual abuse charges against me dismissed and have my children return back home. I am forever grateful . Thanks Pam

Pamela is a Pillar of Knowledge and a Pitbull

So if your reading this now I know its not where you want to be but believe me you are in the " RIGHT PLACE " I like you had more fear and questions then reassurance and answers and Pamela was the 1 decisive piece that even the playing field for me and my family.. CPS will come at you with everythin...g and anything 20 yr + allegations it doesnt matter they will throw it at you like it happened yesterday but not to worry you have a true " WARRIOR " on your side. Pam is rehearsed in CPS law front and back and will FIGHT for you and she will not give up.. Im telling you do not LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE, if your reading this its because FATE has brought you here.. God bless you Pam and may you live 100 years THANK YOU so much for all your efforts and your heart and we/I am forever grateful to you my dear friend.

Juvenile law lawyer | Apr 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Pamela is well versed in Juvenile Dependency law. In fact, I would go so far as to say that she is an expert. I have been privately retained to represent foster-adopt, aka, de facto parents, at the Edelman courthouse in Monterey Park, CA. Whenever I've had a question, I have consulted with Pam. She has always been there to respond to my questions, and she gets back to me in a timely manner. Pamala is very giving of herself and her time to her colleagues. Those are qualities one looks for in a lawyer. She is compassionate about her work and she is dedicated to her clients. She strives to get them the best possible result. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a foster parent, legal guardian, or any other party who is seeking representation in a juvenile dependency matter."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked on a few cases with Pamela, and I am very impressed with not only her professionalism, but also her charming personal manner. As an attorney, she is knowledgeable, conscientious, thorough, and attentive to detail. I heartily and without reservation endorse her for any matter for which she believes she is competent. Please be assured, however, that "competent" is certainly an understatement when it comes to Pamela Tripp."
