About Talenfeld Law
This firm focuses on representing abused, disabled, and injured children. It offers legal services for children in foster care and other child welfare settings, handling personal injury and damages cases across Florida and Illinois. The legal team is dedicated to protecting the rights of children who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, or endangerment.
The firm also represents child victims of sex trafficking and addresses cases of mistreatment by schools, care providers, or agencies. Attorneys pursue civil actions to protect children's legal rights, focusing on their safety, healing, and long-term care. This includes investigating facts, gathering evidence, working with medical and psychological professionals, and filing lawsuits against responsible parties.
The firm advocates for children with disabilities in legal matters concerning education access, discrimination, abuse, and government support, including special education services (IEP, FAPE, IDEA) and SSI/SSDI benefits. Co-Founder and Lead Partner Howard Talenfeld has been recognized for his work with foster care and disabilities class action and damages claims. The firm's approach includes establishing life care plans protected by trusts and structured settlements for damages recovery, and pursuing cases as violations of children's civil rights.

Howard has consistently shown compassion in his advocacy for children. He has fought against state agencies, hospitals and others who have neglected young people or allowed them to be abused. I have seen an advocacy organization share the details of Howard's good work and know that its award to him was well-deserved.
