Who We Help
Supporting Protective Parents in Crisis
At Child Centered Advocacy, we stand by protective parents as they navigate the complexities of family law.
We provide free legal services to families in Orange County and Riverside County, California, focusing on survivors of domestic violence, parents facing unsafe custody claims, and those experiencing litigation abuse.
If you qualify for state benefits like CalFresh or Medi-Cal, we are here to help you secure the protection your family deserves.
The Unique Advantage of CCA Attorneys
At Child Centered Advocacy, our attorneys possess both law and social work degrees, enabling them to provide a comprehensive understanding of family court cases.
In situations involving abuse, the nuances of a parent's behavior can often be misinterpreted. A parent who appears hesitant or reserved may actually be a survivor of trauma, and their reactions can be misunderstood by those without the necessary context.
Our trained attorneys can articulate the full narrative of protective parents and their children, ensuring that their experiences are conveyed in a manner that resonates with the court's understanding.
