Komnith Moth and Tate Lounsbery helped me to breathe again!

When I opened the mail and read I was listed on the CACI my heart dropped. Not only was I falsely accused and trying to heal from the abuse I experienced, but I read these findings can affect future employment opportunities and be used against you. I knew I had to do something, and couldn't be more g...rateful to have found Tate Lounsbery and Komnith Moth! Komnith Moth was the most professional, composed, focused, articulate person during my hearing, and I was proud to be represented by him. Komnith sticks to the facts and get's to the point quickly. The assignments given to prepare for trial helped to focus me considering how the false accusations against me had me shaken up. Komnith was patient, really listened, and helped me to understand the process and potential outcomes. I trusted the process with Komnith and Tate as I had learned that this is a very different, specific type of law. CPS apparently have a lot of room to be inaccurate and unaccountable. I literally switched lawyers to join Tate and Komnith because my previous lawyer didn't think that being on the CACI was a big deal and wasn't well versed in this particular law. I'm glad I trusted Tate and Komnith, and was thankfully removed from the CACI list. Thank you and God Bless!

Highly Recommend Hiring for CACI Hearing

Komnith and Tate both from start to finish explained everything in detail during this stressful time. They took care of everything and anytime we had questions they got back to us right away. Highly recommend to hire them for the CACI hearing! They got me off the CACI index and changed the outcome to... Unfounded. We couldn’t have done it without them.

This is your Guy, CACI Lawyer - Tate Lounsbery

Mr. Lounsbery is an EXPERT at this subject when it comes to representing people placed on the CACI (Child Abuse Central Index). He knows the laws and has a proven record to get you off this list. I have been a foster parent for 10 years. Due to false allegations of emotional abuse on my teen, an i...nvestigation conducted by the Monterey County Department of Social Services was substantiated without due process. I was informed verbally my name was already placed on the State Department of Justice CACI list. My children were removed from my home, my foster license taken away, and our foster child removed. Mr. Lounsbery has a specific process that requires work to help your case. I strongly believe if followed correctly, you will have the outcome you deserve! After the CACI appeal hearing was complete, the final result was "Unfounded"! Well worth the cost ! Thanks Mr. Lounsbery for your professionalism, support and dedication to your client(s)!

Family from San Bernardino

We highly recommend Tate Lounsbery. He handled our case with expertise--he is very knowledgeable and thorough, and he spent a lot of time talking with us and researching and studying the best angles for the defense. When it was time to send evidence and prepare for the hearing, he wrote an excellent... and comprehensive argument that not only changed the outcome of the agency's decision but also eliminated the need for a hearing altogether. The case was won. We are very pleased with this lawyer, and he clearly does great work in this area of defense.

Answer to prayers

My wife and I were put on a CACI list in 2018 we reached out to Tate. My wife read everything on his websites and others,question him and determine that he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. You can never be sure it like finding a good mechanic. He made us do the homework he recommends o...n his website. Well worth it. We went line by line over the Investigation report. Tate came over very honest to let you know what he thinks about the outcome, good or bad. He prepares you for the hearing officer and lawyers and the attorney was brutal. Tate new how to handle the law better than the other attorney. He about facts and what you can prove and disprove not about feelings and emotion, great lawyer and thankyou

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
