Coordinated Legal Support for Ventura Families
For many Ventura families, legal problems don’t arrive one at a time. A struggle at school, a CPS inquiry, and a criminal accusation can overlap in ways that are hard to untangle. Sespe Law leads with education law and special education / IEP advocacy, and also handles CPS, criminal defense, and outside general counsel.
Having one team that understands how these pieces connect can make each decision clearer.

Where Matters Can Overlap
Examples of situations where coordinated advice can help:
- A Child’s Behavior at School Leads to a CPS Report
- An Incident at Home Brings Both Police and CPS
- A Protective Order Affects School Pick-Up or Contact
- School Records Become Relevant to Another Case
Education Advocacy Comes First
Our lead focus is helping children get the services and accommodations they need. Zachary Tinker leads the legal strategy, and Carina Tinker, an Education Specialist (MS, EdS, BCBA), brings an education-focused perspective to IEPs, evaluations, and behavior support.
We review records, help you document concerns, and prepare you for meetings—so the school team hears your child’s needs clearly.
Separate Processes, One Clear Plan
Criminal cases, CPS matters, and school disputes follow different rules and timelines. We explain each one, help you understand how what you say or agree to in one may matter in another, and build individualized next steps. We always encourage clients to follow any court order exactly as written.
