When my wife and I decided to become foster parents, we never envisioned a difficult path in front of us. Neither of us had been in trouble with the law and it seemed like a clear cut application process. That is, until we learned that I was placed on the CACI list without my knowledge on a case that... was already 25 years old. Better yet, this case didn't show up in any background check or FBI database at all. I was dumbfounded and didn't know how to appeal this situation. After reading about the law and learning about the case associated with me being listed, I knew what needed to be done - a CACI Grievance Hearing. I did some research and discovered that there weren't any lawyers in my area that knew anything about CACI or how to get my name removed from the list. Since this was a one-time shot, I had to pick the best representation. I "Googled" CACI Lawyers and Tate Lounsbery's Law Office was the top pick. At first, I was skeptical. Understanding how Google works and that companies can pay to be at the top of the list, I needed more information. I subscribed to Tate's blog and read all about him before deciding. He has a video series that is very educational and taught me a lot about the law and what we were about to do. Even then, it was a risk and I was scared. After discussing my case with him and finding out the details, I was nervous. Success rates for Grievance Hearings are not high. I needed the best and I needed someone who was an expert. After discussions via phone and email, I decided that Tate was the expert that we needed. He provided the upmost professionalism, was attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions. When the time came for my hearing, I was nervous. Tate did an excellent job at reassuring me and coaching me on how to testify. He represented me in the best possible light. We recently got word that we won our case! My name will officially be removed from the CACI list and we can continue to become foster parents. The road was not easy and it was very emotional and draining at times, but I am so glad that we chose Tate Lounsbery to represent us. I am not sure that we would have gotten the same results if we had went with a local lawyer. I whole-heartily recommend Tate Lounsbery as a qualified CACI criminal defense lawyer. He is the expert in the field and knows the law better than anybody we have talked to. He will treat you with respect and handle your case with the upmost professionalism possible.

I hired Attorney Tate Lounsbery when I found out I might be on the CACI list. I had no letter form the CACI agency informing me I was listed so I decided to contact Tate just in case. The time limit for filing a grievance had long past but Tate ensured I got a hearing date. Not only did I get a date ...but I won the hearing without being present. I was told this rarely happens so I'm proud of the hard efforts and outstanding job Tate performed to ensure I wasn't unjustly labeled for the rest of my life. Tate is both personable yet professional and I never once felt that he did not have my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Tate Lounsbery if you ever get in a situation where you need to get off the CACI.

Mr. Lounsbery was a Godsend! I was falsely accused of child abuse. This accusation jeopardized my career and the unity of my family. He was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough as he diligently worked through my case. He was always supportive and communicated with me regularly. He successfully defe...nded me at my grievance hearing which resulted in my name being removed from the CACI and changing the states initial substantiated findings. He knew which questions to ask and was very professional at all times! I owe him my future and my career.

I contacted Tate Lounsbery after I received a notification that I would be placed on the CACI for an accident involving my daughter. I was very distressed about the accident, and the prospect of being listed on a Child Abuse database for the rest of my life added to my anxiety. I spoke with Mr. Lou...nsbery shortly after receiving the notice, and despite being over the holidays, he was very responsive in terms of next steps. He emphasized the importance of filing paperwork in a timely manner, and not being afraid of the process. His instructions were very clear, and my expectations were set well. I was very comfortable with his approach, and retained his services. Tate checked in frequently to make sure that we didn't miss any deadlines or paperwork, and in the end, we received a favorable judgment. Many thanks for a job well done.

Tate Lounsbery was very knowledgeable of the entire CACI system. When I met with him, he was very professional, courteous, and laid out a very detailed plan of approach in dealing with the removal request of my name from the CACI list. He was convincing and knowledgeable enough to the San Diego Hea...lth and Human Services "Child Protective Services" agency during the initial attorney/agency meeting regarding my situation that during the preliminary internal review, the "Agency" decided that my case was "Unfounded". I never had to go before the panel for the "Grievance Hearing". I realize that this is not always the case or result in every situation, but I really appreciate his efforts and am eternally grateful. Thanks so much Tate, you were stellar.
