Honolulu Lawyer Serves as Guardian ad Litem to Represent Children in Litigation
HI courts appoint Law Office of Carmen DiAmore-Siah to advocate for minors and others
Children are not capable of hiring someone to represent their legal interests when family disputes such as divorce affect their well-being. In these situations, courts will designate a guardian ad litem to ensure that their rights are protected. Law Office of Carmen DiAmore-Siah has the experience, knowledge and compassion to deliver comprehensive representation to minors and other individuals who cannot advocate for themselves.
Law firm providing a full range of services for the youths we assist
Law Office of Carmen DiAmore-Siah performs a variety of necessary functions while serving as a guardian ad litem including:
- Representation in court. Upon appointment by the court, I advocate for children in hearings and trials. When necessary, I examine witnesses and argue motions in the same manner as other parties to the litigation.
- Evaluation of pertinent information. As guardianad litem, I take my role seriously and review every relevant document in order to understand what is best for the child. When warranted, I also petition the court to get access to certain materials.
- Contact with key individuals. I can obtain professional medical advice when it is required. If others have knowledge that will help the court’s evaluation of the child’s welfare, I can also work to get their input.
I perform each task with the appropriate proficiency and sensitivity so that those I represent can move forward with the least possible disruption.
