Are you under investigation by CPS?

Have you been contacted by CPS due to allegations of child abuse? While you may think that talking with CPS is in your best interest, it almost never is. If you are under investigation by CPS or a law enforcement agency then hiring a criminal defense attorney experienced in handling child abuse cases is critical. Don’t “wait and see” what happens hoping it will go away. Many times an experienced lawyer can intervene and help prevent charges from being filed. At the very least your lawyer can advise you of your rights before you talk to CPS or a law enforcement agency. While CPS may tell you, “We just want to hear your side of the story,” they have made up their minds and almost always believe the word of the child. They are now gathering evidence. What they want is to scare you into making statements that can later be used against you in court.

Many people do not understand the extent of these protections and make a bad situation even worse.
