Keeping Children and Families Together and Safe

Juvenile dependency is a specialized area of the law that few attorneys handle. This area involves children who may have been abused or neglected and need the protection of the court. I am Beatrice K. Fung and I’ve been representing parents, foster parents, and prospective adoptive parents in juvenile dependency hearings for years. If you are seeking an experienced Los Angeles juvenile dependency attorney, contact my Beverly Hills law office for help.

My goal, when working with clients, is to help you reach your goals for the benefit of your child. I will ensure you are treated fairly by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and that your rights are respected.

Providing Aggressive Representation for Clients

Parents: Most parents I represent have been accused of abusing or neglecting their children. The goal is to regain custody as quickly as possible. DCFS will bring its evidence to court and will ask for a variety of actions or conditions in order for the parent to regain custody of their child. Sometimes the evidence is unclear or untrue; sometimes the actions they’re requiring are irrelevant to the issue.

As your defense lawyer, I will ensure DCFS has thoroughly proven their case before you're required to jump through hoops. I will also strive to protect you from unreasonable demands that don’t relate to the facts of your case. I have also litigated cases of social worker misconduct in both state and federal courts. Call my office at 310-247-0686 or email me for assistance with your situation.

Foster Parents and Prospective Adoptive Parents: I represent foster parents and prospective adoptive parents who are seeking custody of a child and the termination of parental rights for a biological parent.

Grandparents and Family Members: When a family member could take custody of a child, temporarily or permanently, that is almost always the best option for the child. But the overburdened child welfare system sometimes overlooks that statutory requirement. I also help grandparents and family members get custody of minor children who are in the foster care system.

I aggressively protect the interests of children and families in California Superior Courts. Contact me to see how an experienced Los Angeles juvenile dependency attorney can help you.
