Tarrant County, Texas Appeals Lawyer
To find the right CPS, juvenile delinquency or criminal appellate attorney for your case, you need look no further than the law firm of Swanda & Swanda, P.C. Our highly-skilled attorney, Dean M. Swanda, focuses exclusively on civil and criminal appellate work and has done so for more than 20 years. He spent 10 years as an attorney for the Dallas Court of Appeals and has been admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. This vast experience has lead to the successful resolution of many contested adoptions by foster parents.
Our firm handles:
- Criminal appeals
- Juvenile delinquency appeals
- Child Protective Services (CPS) appeals
Dean has a high success rate when it comes to post-conviction appellate work. In fact, he has had reversals in both the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court and also assisted in several high-profile cases including a death row reversal by the United States Supreme Court.
He also represents many CPS parents in CPS appeals. For example, a 2005 statute greatly restricted a CPS parent's right to appeal the termination of their parental rights. Dean was able to get the statute declared unconstitutional in the 2nd Court of Appeals and the statute was removed effective September 1, 2011. Furthermore, the District Attorney attempted to take the case to the Supreme Court, but the Court refused to look into it.
