Protecting Families, Defending Rights: Walter Shaw Stands Out in San Bernardino CPS Defense

(Isstories Editorial):- San Bernardino, California Jul 11, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – In California’s complex and high-stakes juvenile dependency courts, where Child Protective Services (CPS) decisions can separate families and alter lives, legal advocacy is not just important–it’s essential. Attorney Walter Shaw of Shaw 3 Law Firm is helping to fill a critical gap in representation by providing informed, compassionate defense for parents facing problems with the Department of Children Family Services (CFS) proceedings in San Bernardino County.

A standout advocate in Juvenile Dependency law, Shaw recently joined the National Association of Counsel for Children (NACC)–a national organization that trains and certifies attorneys to uphold the rights of children and families involved in the child welfare system. His membership reflects a growing need for skilled attorneys who can stand with parents in some of the most emotionally and legally complex cases handled by the courts.

“Too often, parents–especially those from low-income backgrounds and communities of color–navigate the child welfare system without knowledgeable legal support,” Shaw says. “By joining NACC, I’m better equipped to ensure their rights are protected and their voices are heard.”

NACC equips attorneys with advanced legal tools through rigorous training and a network of professionals committed to reforming child welfare. In juvenile dependency court, decisions are made quickly and with lifelong consequences: whether a child stays with their parents or enters foster care, whether siblings remain together, and how often families can reunite. Without strong legal counsel, parents may be left without a real chance to defend themselves.

Walter Shaw’s commitment to this work stems from a belief that family preservation must remain at the heart of dependency proceedings–and that the system works best when every party has a strong advocate. His representation focuses on safeguarding parental rights, advocating for family reunification when safe and appropriate, and ensuring fair legal process for all involved.

As part of Shaw 3 Law Firm, Walter continues to serve San Bernardino families with an approach rooted in both legal precision and human empathy. His work through the NACC strengthens his ability to advocate at a higher standard–especially in cases where the outcome determines whether a child grows up with their family or in state care.

In an era of increasing scrutiny of the child welfare system, Shaw’s efforts signal a broader push toward justice, equity, and dignity for all families navigating CPS investigations and court intervention.
