Dependency/CPS Investigations
Dependency
Fear and frustration aside, if your children are removed from your care because of the State finding reasonable cause to remove them, not all is lost. You are constitutionally entitled to legal counsel. A dependency action is the start of a potentially long and trying process for you and your family. It takes a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to guide you through the legal mess that is known as “dependency law.”
CPS Investigations
There is quite possibly nothing more frightening than having Child Protective Services(CPS) call you, or show up on your door step. The sad reality is anyone can call CPS to make a report about you and your family. If that report screens in for investigation – you need the help of an experienced lawyer to help you navigate the child welfare system.
