i can’t emphasize enough how important
00:07
it is to hire an attorney that has a
00:10
subject matter expertise
00:12
in this area of law in dependency abuse
00:15
cases and that’s really for two reasons
00:17
first
00:18
it’s an incredibly technical area of law
00:21
you can’t just bring a lawsuit
00:23
willy-nilly against the government and
00:26
you can’t just bring a lawsuit
00:27
willy-nilly against child protective
00:29
services there are strict rules you have
00:31
to follow there is a timeline you have
00:34
to follow you have to meet particular
00:36
requirements or you might be foreclosed
00:38
from bringing this type of lawsuit
00:40
and even during the lawsuit the stuff
00:43
that you’re looking for that you have to
00:44
prove
00:45
is not it’s a needle in a haystack so
00:48
you run the risk if you just dabble in
00:50
this area of really
00:52
hurting your client number one and two
00:55
of being unable to prove to a court
00:58
um
00:59
that your case is viable and ultimately
01:01
either
01:02
losing getting defensed or having your
01:04
verdict overturned by the appellate
01:06
court um and really
01:09
not just
01:10
negatively impacting one individual but
01:12
ruining the whole system of how these
01:14
cases are brought so booth law really
01:17
has a deep and wide understanding of how
01:20
these cases need to be brought both from
01:22
a technical legal perspective and also
01:25
practically how do you get this case
01:27
from point a to point b in a successful
01:30
way that leverages your client’s story
01:33
and that um gleans every piece of
01:36
evidence you can from the files that you
01:38
have to go through in order to bring
01:39
this type of case the second reason
01:42
is that these this type of case law is
01:44
relatively unknown even to the people
01:47
who are supposed to be identifying the
01:49
civil torts on behalf of these kids
01:52
each child who ends up in the dependency
01:54
system is appointed a dependency
01:56
attorney and these attorneys actually
01:59
have a statutory duty not just to
02:01
represent their child in juvenile court
02:04
but also to hire outside attorneys or
02:07
petition the court to get outside
02:09
attorneys appointed to represent those
02:12
child’s interests in civil court in
02:14
immigration court in family court
02:16
whatever court that child needs to be in
02:18
so the dependency attorneys who are
02:20
responsible for hiring or petitioning
02:23
for
02:24
firms like booth law to be appointed
02:26
often don’t even know
02:28
that a civil case might exist and that
02:30
their job is to go seek out attorneys
02:32
like carly or myself or roger booth
02:36
because of that we
02:38
often struggle to get the word out to
02:41
attorneys who have the opportunity to
02:44
bring their child’s case to us
02:46
so that we can represent them in civil
02:47
court
