I had little experience with Lawyers and dealing with the court system especially the specialization with CACI. I research and contacted several Lawyers and after speaking to several firms; speaking to Tate's team and especially Tate himself gave me the confidence to pursue a grievance hearing. Tat...e and his team showed knowledge and experience throughout the process for what is a very specialized section of our justice system and ultimately, Tate's experience and skill achieved the successful outcome my family and I hoped for.

I retained Tate Lounsbery to represent me in a Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) grievance matter, and I could not be more pleased with the representation I received. From the initial consultation through the final hearing, Tate demonstrated exceptional knowledge of California CACI law, outstanding... preparation, and a clear command of both the facts and legal issues involved. He took the time to understand every detail of the case, developed a thoughtful strategy, and thoroughly prepared both my witnesses and me for the hearing process. What impressed me most was his ability to identify weaknesses in the agency's case, focus on the most important evidence, and present a compelling, well-organized defense. Throughout the process, I felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was being handled by someone with extensive experience in this specialized area of law. Tate's office was equally professional. His case manager and paralegal were responsive, organized, and helpful at every stage. Communication was excellent, and I always knew what was expected of me and what the next steps would be. The hearing ultimately resulted in a recommendation that the substantiated finding be overturned and my name removed from the Child Abuse Central Index. While every case is unique and outcomes can never be guaranteed, I firmly believe that the preparation, professionalism, and advocacy provided by Tate and his team played a significant role in achieving that result. If you are facing a CACI grievance hearing or a similar child welfare administrative matter, I would highly recommend Tate Lounsbery and his team.

I cannot thank Tate and his team enough for everything they did for me and my family during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. From the very beginning, they treated my case with professionalism, compassion, and determination. Fighting a CACI case against Monterey County was emotionally exhausti...ng and life-altering, but they never stopped advocating for the truth. Because of their dedication, knowledge, and persistence, we ultimately won the case and my name was ordered to be removed. Throughout the entire process, they kept me informed, prepared, and supported while helping me navigate an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation. What stood out most was not only their legal expertise, but the genuine care they showed for the impact this case had on my career, mental health, and family. They fought for me when I felt defeated and helped restore my hope during a time when everything felt uncertain. I highly recommend Tate and his entire team to anyone needing strong legal representation, especially in difficult and emotionally complex cases. I will forever be grateful for the work they did to help me clear my name and move forward with my life. Thank you again for standing beside me and fighting for justice.

We hired Tate to represent my husband in his CACI grievance hearing. Prior to hiring Tate, we were struggling to mount a defense on our own, because the county still had not provided their evidence against him a week before his original grievance hearing date. As soon as we hired Tate, he was able to... file the right motions to move the grievance hearing so that there would be enough time to get the evidence. Tate met with my husband and told him the evidence he needed to obtain. He developed a defense strategy and prepped the witnesses. During the grievance hearing, each of us witnesses felt prepared, all because of Tate's expertise. My husband was successfully removed from the CACI and I attribute it all to Tate's help!

Tate and Chantelle saved us in Orange County. They are the subject matter experts in CACI removal. They were diligent and provided clear instructions for each step of the process. Chantelle represented us in the hearing. Chantelle you are amazing! You were confident, knowledgeable, and extremely supp...ortive during the whole experience. Thank you for what you do!
