To Any Parent Facing CPS: Don’t Do This Alone. Mo Fought for My Family Like It Was His Own

This is a call to every parent going through a CPS investigation: you do not have to face this alone. CPS is not on your side. They will say they’re protecting your children, but the system is broken and dangerous — especially for children with special needs. I have two daughters — one 15, one 4 —... both on the autism spectrum. I knew from experience how easily CPS misinterprets autism-related behaviors as abuse. I had been investigated before, even when no evidence was ever found. But this time, it escalated fast. It all began when I reached out to a crisis line for help with my daughter’s autism-related behaviors. Instead of receiving help, I was reported to CPS. The fear became real the moment I saw, through my security camera, a police officer standing at my front door. My heart sank. I couldn’t sleep, terrified my daughters — especially my 4-year-old, who has high needs— could be taken and placed in a system completely unprepared to meet her needs. The foster care system is not the safety net they portray. Statistics show that up to 1 in 3 children who grow up in foster care end up homeless, incarcerated, or deceased. I knew I had to protect my children — not just from the allegations, but from the system itself. That’s when I began my search for an attorney. I read countless reviews, and interviewed several. The moment I spoke to Mo, I knew he was the person I needed. When your children are at risk, you don’t search for the cheapest lawyer — you search for the best, the one who can truly protect your family and Mo it is that lawyer. From the very first consultation, Mo showed incredible kindness, patience, and compassion. Even when I was panicked or overwhelmed, he listened without judgment. Throughout the process, whenever I had questions or fears (and there were many), Mo was always there — answering my calls, responding quickly, and always following through. His availability gave me strength during the darkest time of my life. Beyond his responsiveness, Mo is sharp, strategic, and extremely knowledgeable. He quickly understood both the legal complexities and the unique needs of my daughters. Most importantly, he didn’t just see a case — he saw my family. Once CPS realized I had strong legal representation, their entire approach shifted. I truly believe that if I hadn’t hired Mo, and if CPS knew I didn’t have a strong lawyer in my corner, they would have removed my children from my care before I even had a chance to explain myself. That’s how quickly these situations can spiral if you’re unprotected. I cannot stress this enough: you should never face CPS alone. The system will overwhelm you if you’re unrepresented. Mo stood by my side and gave me the protection and confidence to face what no parent should ever have to endure. Thankfully, the case ultimately closed. Looking back, I am forever grateful that I found Mo when I did. His representation made all the difference and protected my daughters from a system that could have destroyed them. I wholeheartedly recommend Mo to any parent facing CPS or child protection matters. If you’re terrified and overwhelmed, please know: you do not have to go through this alone. Mo is brilliant, strategic, compassionate, and fully committed to protecting families when they need it most. Thank you, Mo, for standing with my family during the most difficult time of our lives. You will always have my deepest gratitude.

A Team That Truly Cares and Delivers Outstanding Results

I can't express how grateful I am to have had Mo, Janelle, and Cara on my side. Their dedication and expertise stood out, making an incredibly stressful situation manageable. When I first reached out, Mo offered a free consultation and truly took the time to listen to the complexity of my case. Un...like other attorneys I'd spoken to, Mo went above and beyond by reviewing evidence during that initial consultation. His willingness to dive into the specifics right away showed me he genuinely cared about my situation and wasn't just trying to sign me up as a client. Mo mentioned that his associate, Janelle, would be handling my case. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive at first because so much of what I'd heard about the firm focused on Mo specifically. But Janelle exceeded every expectation. She was an absolute powerhouse—knowledgeable, thorough, and always on top of every detail. She provided clear, actionable guidance throughout the process and helped me feel confident every step of the way. Unfortunately for me, Janelle took on another position before my case was finalized, but Mo quickly brought Cara in to handle our final hearing. Cara stepped in seamlessly, quickly got up to speed, and delivered exactly what was needed. Her advocacy skills were stellar, and she closed out the case with skill and determination. This team didn't just handle my case; they served justice to the legal system. Winning sole legal and physical custody of my child was nothing short of extraordinary, especially given the challenges of a CPS case in California, where fathers often face uphill battles. Their dedication and perseverance to my case proved that justice can prevail. Thanks to the entire team, the outcome of my case was better than I could have imagined. They showed incredible legal skills and genuine compassion and care for my family. This law firm didn't just represent me—they gave my family a chance to thrive. If you're looking for attorneys who will go above and beyond, I can't recommend ALL Trial Lawyers enough. You'll be in the best hands possible, whether it's Mo, Janelle, Cara, or anyone else on their team.

Really good lawyer

I had a great experience with Mo. Mo is a very caring lawyer who works hard with great communication. I never had an issue getting a hold of him. Mo kept me up to date on everything going on in my cps case and was always prepared for court. Working with Mo made a bad situation way easier.
