Walnut Creek Juvenile Dependency Attorney
Juvenile dependency cases can be hard on both you and your child. If a social worker from Child Protective Services is investigating you or has come knocking at your door, that means someone has accused you of child abuse or neglect. If a judge determines that the claims are true, your child could be taken away from you, which can affect their wellbeing as well as your own. Before it gets to that point, you will go through several hearings, and during the entire process, you have the right to have a lawyer represent you. Attorney Carin Johnson of The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson is a child dependency lawyer who is passionate about protecting parents' rights and the best interests of families. She is ready to put her knowledge and skills to work for you, helping you through this difficult time.
Walnut Creek DUI Attorney
Fighting driving under the influence charges requires a thorough understanding of California’s DUI laws and the science behind these matters. At The Law Office of Johnson & Johnson, we have extensive knowledge of both. Attorney Peter Johnson, who leads our DUI defense practice, is highly trained and experienced. He is a member of the National College of DUI Defense and serves on the Board for the California DUI Lawyers Association. Additionally, he attends courses in DUI defense, including the NHTSA/IACP DWI Detection/Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Course, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training, and the Forensic Chromatography training with Axion Labs. Mr. Johnson’s knowledge is so vast that he gives seminars on the topic and wrote California Driving Under the Influence Defense. With a keen eye for detail, he can identify procedural errors or other mistakes during a DUI arrest and testing process and is well-equipped to challenge the State’s evidence. Mr. Johnson has a track record of success in DUI cases and is prepared to take on even the most challenging matters.
Walnut Creek Civil Rights Attorney
Government officials have the authority to take specific actions to ensure people's safety. For instance, a police officer may arrest a person suspected of a crime, or a CPS social worker may remove a child from their home if claims of abuse or neglect have been substantiated. But the authority these officials have is not unlimited. Unfortunately, some of them may engage in conduct that goes beyond that allowed for their roles. And in doing such, they may have violated the person's Constitutional or parental rights. At The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson, our Walnut Creek civil rights attorneys do not tolerate unlawful actions carried out by government officials. If you suffered physical injury, emotional injury, or property damage at the hands of a police officer or social worker, speak with us about your case. We will zealously advocate for you and can seek a just outcome on your behalf.
The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson handles cases throughout California including Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Clara, San Joaquin, and San Francisco Counties.
