Your communication with the Children’s Law Center through email or the contact form above does not create an attorney-client relationship. As a matter of policy, the Children’s Law Center does not accept new clients without first conducting a diligent search for conflicts of interest and entering into a written contract for legal services. Please do not send any confidential or sensitive information electronically.

If you are calling for help reporting child abuse or neglect, please call 1-844-CO-4-Kids or 1-844-264-5437 or contact your local law enforcement.
