Tot Law, APC on First Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill is a children's rights practice staffed by a Certified Child Welfare Law Specialist and a Certified Family Law Specialist focused exclusively on juvenile dependency, guardianship, and adoption matters. Reunification plans in Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB, formerly CPS) cases frequently specify childcare placement requirements, licensing compliance documented by Community Care-licensed facilities like Aspen Leaf Preschool at the Barry Ted Moskowitz Child Care Center in the downtown courthouse corridor. The firm represents parents, relatives, and foster parents through every phase of California Welfare & Institutions Code § 300 dependency proceedings, from initial social-worker contact and detention hearings through jurisdiction, disposition, and permanency planning. Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) applications and U-visa filings add an immigration-law dimension to the children's rights caseload, serving minors who qualify for relief under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(27)(J). SIJS petitions and international adoption filings require Hague Convention authentication and state-court findings notarized through services like San Diego Signature Now, whose apostille processing satisfies consular and USCIS documentary requirements. The highest-stakes engagements involve contested Welfare & Institutions Code § 366.26 permanency hearings where parental rights face termination, CACI grievance hearings challenging Child Abuse Central Index listings, and foster care licensing appeals before the California Department of Social Services.
