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.

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.

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.

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.
