The Children's Law Center

Children’s law center in Brooklyn is a very friendly, awesome place with super professional staff and super kind and super professional lawyers. Attorney Rayna L is very kind, caring and very professional on what she does. Before visiting yesterday I was little worried about my meeting with her, but she happened to be so welcoming, caring and super nice. I am now very glad and confident in her and her office to care for my son’s best interest. Thank you

I’m a Black Marine with 17 years of service to my country. My ex husband (white hispanic, could pass for white) took my child away because he didn’t want to get divorced (he was abusive and a substance abuser). The Children’s Brooklyn Law centers Gaurdian Da litem, became completely biased in the fathers contempt. I asked the center if my son can at least see a therapist because he was emotionally unstable due to the stress of divorce. They said no my son is fine that I was making things up and that I was not allowed to take my son to see a therapist. Now, my sons school constantly calls me pertaining to emotional issues with my son. The father is also being negligent to the child’s medical appointments. I tried to reach back out to the Da Litem, but she’s avoiding me (probably because the decision was a mistake). This center failed to protect a vulnerable child. the child's attorney did not investigate and did not provide any findings of myself being a bad parent only thing they held against me was that I’m a Marine. It made me absolutely very sad as if I haven’t been through enough already being who I am in the Marine Corps. What a mess! Very sad situation and I’m sure it’s happening quite often in NYC. The legal system in NY is broken. I will dedicate my life and everything I have to fight for my sons well being. I’m considering a civil suit.

I’ve had two advocates. The first was a black woman. Always in favor of the mother, blatantly biased. Actually talk to me as if I was a child. Current one always bragging about her schooling and her grades. She thinks because she took theses classes at Columbia as if that really matters. That it makes he an honorary ally to brown and black folks. It would actually matter if you used your privilege for good and you actually practiced what you learned class. The nerve. Don’t get me started on her superiority complex on religion. She had the audacity to say that Passover was the only religious holiday. I quickly reminder her that along with Passover is Good Friday, Ramadan, Holy Thursday. I need her to reques herself off my case.

The Children’s Brooklyn Law centers Guardian Da litem Laura Diewald, became completely biased in the fathers contempt. She is completely biased and has been known to falsify the record instead of doing what is in the best interest of my children. I had filed a complaint to her supervisor and the next day she was advocating the children to stay in dad care without any proof of me being an unfit parent. It sad that this organization profits off of the trauma of children.

I cannot say enough about the people at The Children's Law Center. These are dedicated, knowledgeable people with a mandate to do what's best for a child and a passion for their profession. Remember, they work for the CHILD, not the parents. You need to understand that they are trying to find the best resolution for the child and are not litigating the parents' issues.

My child is suffering neglect, hunger, emotional/verbal and sometimes physical abuse by her dad and his gf and even though my child complains to acs her therapist and her assigned lawyer NOTHING is being done about it!! I filed 3 motions! Still nothing!!! My child is scared and i fear for her safety yet family court still allows unsupervised overnight visits! he is our domestic violence abuser and even that fact doesn't help for my childs safety! NO JUSTICE!!!!!! HELP MY CHILD AND STOP PUTTING HER IN DANGER!!!

This is a very dangerous and corrupt organization. Its only interest is to church cases as long as it can, to secure more and more funding from NY State to pay its bigoted and malicious attorneys. Under no circumstances, allow your child to be represented by the CLC.
