Justice served in Warren County, Virginia. 🐾⚖️
Animal Services unlawfully removed two puppies from our client based on neglect allegations that simply were not supported by the evidence. Our firm fought to ensure the truth was revealed.
Attorney Shaniqua Clark Nelson successfully defended the case, demonstrating that there are a variety of reasons for a pet to be underweight without neglect in the home. As a result, the court ordered the puppies returned to their rightful owner and declined to impose any boarding costs.
This outcome reinforces an important principle: agencies must follow the law and respect the rights of pet owners. When those rights are challenged, we stand ready to defend them.
We’re proud to have helped reunite this family with their beloved pets. 🐶
