Child Protective Services Defense

All it takes for the Child Protection Services (CPS) to get involved in your family life is an anonymous allegation of abuse. There may be no truth to the allegation, yet suddenly you are on the defense, your children may have been taken from your custody, and you may have already been given a court date.

The allegations against you may simply be false. They may have been made by someone with an incentive to disrupt your parent-child relationship — an ex-spouse, an ex-girlfriend or someone in the family who seeks to disturb the stability that you and your child normally enjoy, or who may be motivated to seek custody of your child for themselves.

While we acknowledge that CPS plays an important role in protecting children from abuse, we are also aware of how often the system is abused. Innocent parents are frequently caught in a crossfire of the “anonymous false accusations.”

Do understand that, even if the accusations against you are false, you and your child are at risk if Child Protective Services has opened an investigation. CPS has enormous powers, including taking your children from your home without even a court hearing until later. It is not uncommon for CPS to hide your children from you for weeks or months - without even a visit, or worse CPS may terminate your parental rights and place your children up for adoption.

We handle CPS defense for parents and guardians accused of child abuse by Child Protective Service (CPS) agencies. If you have been contacted by CPS, contact us and protect your family. When a parent faces false accusations of child neglect or abuse, you must obtain an aggressive attorney.
