Virginia Lawyers for Children works tirelessly towards a community where every child is safe, healthy, and has a bright future ahead of them.
Children Deserve Our Best.
Why do the most vulnerable children in society so often fall through the cracks? Children who are abused, neglected, or involved in hotly contested custody battles too often face a frightening legal system alone. If children deserve the best, is this really the best we can do?
What if every vulnerable kid had a superhero on their side to stand up for them? At Virginia Lawyers for Children, we strive to be those superheroes. We team great lawyers who are specially trained to represent kids with social workers who are trained to solve problems in families and the community. Together, we work to surround each child with everything they need to stay safe, feel secure, and thrive.

About the Law Center
Scheduled to open its first office in Leesburg, Virginia in the summer of 2016, the Virginia Lawyers for Children Law Center is a law practice where highly-trained child welfare lawyers work side-by-side with social workers to achieve the best outcomes for kids who are involved with the court system. This multidisciplinary model has been shown by research to result in better outcomes for children and families.
