I more than recommend Tate Lounsbery

Tate Lounsbery was the right attorney for the job to have my name removed off of the Child Abuse Central Index (CACI non criminal), as well as having CPS to change their "Substantiated" findings to "Inconclusive" and ordered the DOJ to remove my name off of the index listing. Mr. Lounsbery is pheno...menal and has his streamlined approach to hold justice against a social worker that can damage lives in a family between children and parents, due to poor judgement, and lacking their ability to conduct a thorough investigation to explore all possible truths. I more than recommend Mr. Lounsbery to represent anyone who is wrongfully accused by CPS. The county in which I live had extended my hearing multiple times, dragging out over 1 years time, and in the end, Mr. Lounsbery was successful representing me in the hearing. I was relieved and felt a heavy burden removed after having success thanks to Mr Lounsbery. Thank You.

Exceptional Attorney for Complex CACI Cases

I cannot recommend Tate Lounsbery and his team enough. He recently helped me win a difficult case against San Bernardino County—one of the toughest counties in California. As a foster parent, my situation was unique, and I initially worried about the stigma we often face in these types of disputes. A...lthough most of his testimonials came from non-foster parents, I took a chance on his expertise, and it was the best decision I could have made. The process took nearly two years, but he was meticulous in gathering information and building the right defense. His knowledge and preparation were unmatched. In the end, it was determined the county failed to do their due diligence. Thanks to him, I was removed from the CACI list and received the outcome I deserved. Most importantly, because of him, I am now able to continue on my fostering and adoption journey without this case hanging over me. Every case is different, but I can confidently say he is the CACI expert you want on your side.

Tate and his Team are experienced and knowledgeable

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.

Outstanding CACI Defense Attorney Who Restored My Good Name

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.

Highly recommended!

Mr. Lounsbery doesn't give you false hope. He doesn't whitewash things for you. He is up front, honest, and meticulous. If you're reading this, it means you are as frightened, uncertain and hopeless as we were. With Mr. Lounsbery's guidance, things became clearer and the process become more manageab...le. There were never any nasty surprises or unexpected expenses. Everything is up front and above board. If you want to clear your name, and get off that infernal list, this is the attorney you need to talk to. Help like this doesn't come cheap, but it's worth every penny. I feel like I should write more, but really that's it. If you want competent, honest legal help getting off the CACI, I don't think you could find better help.
