Heartfelt Child Advocacy
The Guardian ad Litem Program is a dedicated team that advocates for Florida’s children who have been removed from a home due to abuse, neglect, and abandonment. These children are placed in the protection of the state and the child welfare system. Our skilled Guardian ad Litem team wholeheartedly pledge their efforts and hearts to represent these children so that each child’s needs are met in court.
