About Mohammad
Biography
Attorney Mo Abuershaid is the founding partners of ALL Trial Lawyers. He is the lead attorney handling the firm’s juvenile dependency practice (CPS defense). He has counseled and represented hundreds of parents against Child Protective Services (CPS), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and other social service agency investigations. Attorney Abuershaid has fought for and protected parents in juvenile dependency cases in numerous counties in Southern California, including but not limited to, Orange County, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Riverside. Mo Abuershaid is highly equipped to handle juvenile dependency cases of all severities, including cases involving allegations of general neglect or negligence, failure to protect, severe physical abuse, positive toxicology results in infants, sexual abuse, fractures or broken bones, head injuries, and trauma.
There are two sides to every story and Attorney Mo Abuershaid will make sure your side is heard. He has witnessed many times that investigative agencies, such as CPS and DCFS, do not accurately represent the true facts of a case. This bias and slanted reporting by CPS and/or DCFS will always be to the detriment of the alleged offending parents. Ultimately, the parental rights of the alleged offending parents are violated. Understanding how incredibly important and precious children are to their parents, Attorney Abuershaid relies on his extensive experience and expertise to zealously fight to reunite families. He is driven and focused on protecting your parental rights against CPS and DCFS.
In addition to his juvenile dependency practice, Attorney Mo Abuershaid is equally well versed in representing people accused of committing felony and misdemeanor crimes. He has over 20+ jury trial and bench trial experience under his belt. He has delivered a great number of victories to so many of his clients in the form of favorable settlements, dismissals, and acquittals. He has represented numerous high-profile clients, including the family of the San Bernardino shooters. Prior to forming ALL Trial Lawyers, Attorney Abuershaid was a pubic defender at the Orange County Public Defender’s Office, where he represented thousands of indigent clients accused of committing various crimes of all severities.
Mr. Abuershaid is an active member of the Orange County Bar Association and Orange County Criminal Defense Bar Association. He obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from Western Michigan University.

Amazing Job!
Mo did an amazing job representing me in my CPS case! I'm glad I had Mo as my lawyer!

BEST CPS LAWYER
I was involved in a domestic violence incident in San Bernardino County. The allegations lead to a child endangerment criminal case which lead to a CPS case / juvenile dependency case even though I was the victim! I called Mo and he was ready to fight for me with no hesitation. He was trial ready a...

DUI Case
I hired Mo for a 2nd DUI and a Violation of Probation case in San Bernardino County. He had great reviews online and he was very nice when I spoke to him so I decided to move forward with him.

Very troubling Representation / lack of transparency, ethics, moral uprightness
We had retained attorney Mohammad Abuershaid for a case of false-allegations being brought by an ex-spouse & as client unfamiliar with CPS & Juvenile court system, we relied fully on him for guidance; placed our complete trust in him—trust that, in our experience was not honored. Our experience was v...
Mohammad Abuershaid
Replied last December 16, 2025Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand how emotionally difficult and stressful dependency and CPS matters can be, and we do not minimize the impact these proceedings have on families. That said, this review does not accurately reflect the scope or substance of the legal work performed in this matter. Our firm devoted substantial time and resources to this case, including extensive case preparation, court appearances, review of records, strategic discussions, and ongoing advocacy within the procedural framework of the juvenile court system. Many decisions in CPS matters are dictated by statutory timelines, court practices, and agency procedures, rather than by trial strategy alone. We respectfully disagree with the characterization that the case was not actively handled or that services were not rendered as agreed. The legal work performed in this matter far exceeded what is suggested in this review. Because of client confidentiality obligations, we are unable to address specific allegations or case details in a public forum. However, we remain confident that the representation provided was appropriate, diligent, and consistent with professional standards. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for readers and wish the reviewer and their family the best moving forward.
