Woman protecting her child from CPS

Child Dependency / CPS

When Child Protective Services comes to talk about the possibility of removing children from their home, or what needs to be done to perhaps avoid detaining children, you need expert legal advice. Sometimes I represent grandparents or foster parents as they protect children. In some cases, a county has violated important constitutional rights and needs to be held accountable. Early action can be very important in these cases, so don’t delay contacting me.

Juvenile Criminal Defense

When it comes to juvenile criminal cases, getting a criminal defense attorney involved early can sometimes significantly impact the course of prosecution, even to the extent of avoiding charges altogether. A criminal conviction can sometimes impact a child’s life into adulthood. Call for a juvenile law consultation regarding your child’s situation. We can help ensure your child isn’t wrongfully convicted as an adult.
