CHILD CARE - Key Persons
License defense attorney Michael Benavides defends family child care homes and child care centers in license revocation proceedings. Unlike many generalist license defense attorneys, Michael Benavides has defended child care licensees before the Office of Administrative Hearings against the Department of Social Services on numerous occasions.
Attorney Michael Benavides understands the Child Care Centers and Family Child Care Homes run on thin profit margins. To help child care licensees defend their license in what is often a costly process he charges flat fees payable by credit card. The flat fee helps licensees predict the total cost of representation and make an informed decision whether to proceed with defending their license. Moreover, his acceptance of credit card payments is a departure from traditional law firm billing practices, but over the years he has found credit card payment options critical for his clients.
