Litigation Partner Chet Kronenberg, who is President of the Board of Directors of LevittQuinn Family Law Center, co-authored an article with LevittQuinn’s Director of Legal Services Lucia Reyes in the Daily Journal titled, “Why Legal Counsel Is Crucial In Ensuring Successful Permanent Placement of Children.” The article explores the recent California Court of Appeals decision in In Re: Andrew M., concerning whether to terminate the parental rights of a 5-year-old’s biological parents when his long-term foster parents sought to adopt him.
