GUARDIAN AD LITEM
At McLellan Law Group, LLP, we act as guardians ad litem to protect the legal interests of children and adults who cannot advocate for themselves. Whether due to age, injury, or illness, we stand in their shoes, ensuring their rights are represented and their voices are heard.
A guardian ad litem (GAL) is appointed by the court to represent the best interests of a child or adult who lacks capacity in a lawsuit. The GAL investigates, advocates, and makes recommendations to the court to protect the person’s well-being and legal rights. Our role is to be a compassionate advocate while providing the court with an informed perspective.
Guardians ad litem are often appointed for children in cases involving family disputes, personal injury, or abuse. We also serve adults who are incapacitated, elderly, or otherwise unable to make informed legal decisions regarding a lawsuit. Our firm ensures that their interests are safeguarded at every step of the legal process.
Acting as guardians ad litem, we carefully investigate all aspects of the case, communicate with parties involved, and advocate for outcomes that protect the person’s best interests. We bring compassion and diligence to this critical role, offering families peace of mind during difficult times.
We understand the emotional weight of these situations and approach every case with care, professionalism, and unwavering advocacy. Families trust us to handle these sensitive matters with integrity, ensuring their loved ones’ voices are not only heard but prioritized.
Whether you are seeking a guardian ad litem for a child or an incapacitated adult, we’re here to provide guidance and strength. We will stand in the shoes of your loved one to advocate for their best outcome with the care and legal expertise they deserve.

I recommend Attorney Claire Melehani, whose efforts were immediate, determined, analytical, well considered, and constant. Throughout her personal and team efforts, Claire worked hard to build a strong, strategic, and effective case to ensure a positive resolution to an unfolding disruptive and stressful situation. Much appreciation and gratitude.

We worked with Claire and Steven on a living trust issue that we had, and were very impressed with their professionalism and patience in handling everything. Claire was highly recommended from another firm we had reached out to, and we certainly understand why. The situation we were dealing with was complicated, but both Claire and Steven were quick to get all the facts and wonderful in helping us get a clear game plan figured out. It is reassuring to know that we can always reach out to them for additional help if needed.

Steven’s legal expertise and sophistication were tremendous in resolving key issues in my case. Most important of all, Steven’s ability to bring my case to settlement with eloquent presentation while keeping my focus on the bigger picture was most impressive to me. If ever needed, I would hire Steven for his services in a heartbeat.
