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

Responsible and reliable

It is great to have someone fighting for you on your side. Tate made me feel safe and supported. He was very responsive to my questions and inquiries. He took the fight to the agencies and demanded on my behave to have all the information pertaining to the case. Tate is up front about wverything:... the work that’s needs to be done, the ways to go about resolving issues, scheduling meetings and hearings. Thanks to his effort, he won the case and cleared my name.

Worth the investment!

Tate Lounsbery was recommended to us by a respected and loved attorney friend of ours at the time we received CPS's decision on our case. We were filled with despair, fear, and stress at this time and our friend's glowing recommendation of Mr. Lounsbery gave us the first glimmer of hope. He told us t...hat Mr. Lounsbery was "the best child abuse appeal hearing attorney in Southern California" and was someone we most definitely needed in our corner. Following this recommendation, we ended up interviewing just one other attorney in addition to Tate. Tate's knowledge of the process, the laws surrounding child abuse and child endangerment in our state, and his overall compassionate, yet straight forward and confident demeanor shined through in the interview process. We did not have to think twice to hire him after this initial meeting. You will NOT find anyone better. He charges a flat rate that may seem high, initially, but once you begin the process and realize how many variables there are and how much time is spent waiting, you will clearly see the reason for the seemingly high fee. You cannot predict how long things will take and because these cases are Tate's specialty, we fully trusted him and it paid off. Tate had us fully prepared when our hearing date came around and he worked tirelessly to find laws in our favor and so very eloquently delivered and prepared many indisputable arguments that neither we or, I believe, any other attorney could have. The decision, in our case, was changed from "substantiated" to "inconclusive!" We are forever grateful for Tate!

Testimony for Mr. Tate Lounsbery

I'm so thankful to have hired Tate's services last year after I was put on CACI by the San Mateo County CPS. Tate's knowledge of the CPS's workings is invaluable for his clients. My name was taken off of CACI recently and I credit it all to Tate's persistence. Moreover, Tate came across as very under...standing, nonjudgmental, honest, and frank in our initial communication. I value this a lot in a person. In short, he didn't promise me anything but delivered well above & beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Tate to anyone in a similar situation like mine. Thank Tate!

Excellent Experience in spite of the circumstances

I hired Tate to represent me in a CACI grievance after arguing with the county about it for over a year. Being on the CACI had the potential to be extremely detrimental to my career, livelihood and reputation. I shopped around and consulted with several lawyers and decided on Tate based on recommenda...tions from other lawyers, past clients, and his willingness to share information, youtube videos, etc. to help potential clients in spite of whether he had been retained or not. This told me that he truly cares about what he does, and that is what I needed. He was recommended by a fellow attorney as a "bulldog" who would absolutely fight for me. In spite of how high my expectations were for Tate going into our agreement, he far exceeded anything I could have ever asked for. During one of the worst ordeals of my life, Tate immediately put me at ease. His knowledge of the CACI and related laws is outstanding, and he was able to answer any question I ever had beyond my expectations. I literally had to do nothing; he handled every single detail and just told me when and where to show up. I no longer had to worry about logistics, or paperwork, or documentation, or going back and forth with the county. He took all the stress away from the situation and was consistently professional and courteous to any individual we had to work with. Additionally, he took care of everything over the phone or via email to save me expense as I live in a county several hours away from him. The only time he traveled here was for the hearing as he was able to successfully do everything else at a distance. I was blown away by the ease I felt throughout the process. He was very reassuring to me and I always felt like I was in good hands. Tate is more than just an attorney. It is obvious that he cares about his clients and is highly vested in the outcomes of any cases he takes on. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I was his only client as he was consistently available and just a phone call away if I needed anything at all. Needless to say, we won my case, and it was an uphill battle. I truly believe I could not have done it without him; he was worth every penny. I highly recommend Tate to anyone facing a CACI grievance hearing. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with everything that Tate did for me, and my family.
