Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency tasked with investigating reports of child abuse or neglect. While the agency’s mission is to protect children, the process is invasive, intimidating, and overwhelming, especially for innocent parents.
Many families are blindsided by CPS involvement. You may not know why they showed up, what your rights are, or what you should, or should not say. That’s where we come in.
We help parents understand the system, navigate investigations, and fight CPS charges to protect their rights and their children.
CPS workers seem helpful and may appear to be friendly at first. They act like they just want to check on your kids or offer support. But make no mistake: CPS investigations are legal proceedings. What you say (or do not say) can and will be used against you in court.
The fact is that CPS workers are trained to gather evidence. If someone files a report against you CPS has a duty to investigate. That means unannounced home visits at inconvenient times, interviews with your children, school contacts, and medical checks, all without your consent or a warrant.
If CPS has contacted you or you’re under investigation, don’t wait. Every minute matters. Do not talk to CPS workers before speaking with a CPS Lawyer. Contact us now to schedule a confidential consultation and find out how we can help you protect your family and your future.

Common allegations include:
