"excellent"

Veronika B

"Because there are so many parents caught up in the Dependency system. Some do not even recognize that if they could simply get away from the children's father, they could get their children returned. I particularly enjoyed what Nicholas Boca and the Hon. Lori Bustamante said: For TDMs, advise your clients to not argue with the Case Manager/Social Worker ... Save the arguments for trial or hearings: N. Roca. Hon. Bustamante: I like to give the non-remediated parent an opport. to stay child's life"
