Oklahoma Lawyers for Children (“OLFC”) is an organization of volunteer pro bono lawyers that represent deprived children in the Juvenile Division of the Oklahoma County District Court. OLFC works through the Public Defender’s office to provide representation in accordance with the local, state and national standards for representation of children. The presence of OLFC lawyers allows the District Attorney’s office to focus on the criminal prosecution of the various cases while OLFC lawyers pay special attention to the needs of the children.
The activities of OLFC range from interviewing children that have been removed from their homes to temporary representation at show cause hearings to representation in parental termination cases. Corey Neller, Chance Pearson, and Ivan London are all currently participating in OLFC.
For more information regarding OLFC, please call (405) 232-4453 or visit their website at www.oklahomalawyersforchildren.com.
