John L. Dodd & Associates, Prof. Corp. Is Uniquely Equipped to Handle Parental Rights & Adoption Appeals in Orange County
Mr. Dodd is a leading California appellate attorney concerning parental rights and adoption appeals. He has been involved in many of the landmark cases over the last 30 years, representing children, adopting parents, grandparents, guardians and parents. He understands the serious nature of the appellate issues involved.
We define “parental rights” cases as those in which a party is seeking either to institute an involuntary guardianship or to terminate parental rights for purpose of an adoption or stepparent adoption. These are not “regular family law” cases in which the parties disagree over the number of weekends of visitation. These cases decide who, and who will not, be part of your family forever. They require a high degree of sensitivity and familiarity with this field of law, which we are uniquely qualified to provide.
We handle writ petitions and all kinds of appeals throughout the State of California. We have demonstrated a high level of experience in appellate matters, and we possess the advanced research and writing skills necessary to help you succeed in your parental rights appeal. We are also very well acquainted with the inner workings of California’s higher courts, so we are equipped to help you stay on top of important deadlines, court dates, and so on.
