Lisa Rutland - Parent Attorney - Family Defender

I have worked in Child Welfare for over two decades. I represent parents, legal custodians, and extended relatives in Child Welfare Matters. As a former nationally certified child forensic interviewer, child protection investigator and case manager, I have the training and experience necessary to help families successfully navigate the child welfare system.

I have the knowledge and experience of working with diverse population, mental health professionals, chemical health professionals, and the child welfare system. I will ensure the child protection agency provides your family with the resources and services necessary to safely maintain custody of your children and to eliminate the need for child protective services.

If your child welfare matter includes court action, the courts look favorable upon parents who have legal representation to present all the facts in a clear and logical matter. Having an experienced parent attorney demonstrates you are fighting for your rights, the rights of your children, and that you are deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of your children. 

I ensure my clients are well informed on process. I clearly explain your legal rights, responsibilities, and options. I am dedicated to helping families achieve success and will zealously advocate for your rights.
