If you have been contacted by Child Protective Services it’s not just a random call. It usually means someone has made a report against you, and CPS is actively gathering information.
Whether CPS is calling, visiting your home, or trying to interview your children, it’s critical to get legal protection right away. The best way to stop CPS from harassing you is to hire an experienced CPS defense attorney who can take over all communication and push back legally.
CPS investigates reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. These reports can come from anonymous tips, teachers, doctors, nurses, police officers, or even angry ex-partners.
Once a report is filed, CPS must investigate. That usually involves unannounced visits, repeated phone calls, and requests to speak with your children. Even if the accusations are false or exaggerated, you still face an investigation.
Our firm represents parents who are being investigated by CPS. We know how to respond to false allegations, block unnecessary home visits, and fight back when CPS crosses the line.
Don’t wait for things to get worse. The longer you go without legal protection, the more CPS will document charges against you.
CPS workers are trained to look for anything they believe may justify state intervention. If you try to handle it on your own, you will probably say or do something they can use against you.
Even if you cooperate, they will keep coming back. They may show up at your job, your child’s school, or your home late at night or early in the morning. Many families are harassed and intimidated.
That stops when you hire a CPS lawyer who knows your rights and how to defend them.
Once you hire an attorney CPS must direct all communication through your lawyer. You are no longer expected to answer CPS calls, respond to questions, or allow unannounced visits.
Your lawyer becomes your legal shield. From that point forward, CPS has to respect your boundaries and your rights under the law. This alone often slows down or even stops further visits or interviews.
A skilled CPS defense lawyer can:
In many cases, once CPS sees that you have legal representation, they may drop the investigation or they will proceed more cautiously.

Tell CPS to contact your attorney. Then let us handle the rest.
We fight CPS charges. We stop harassment. We protect families like yours.
