Protect Your Family From a CPS Investigation
Child abuse investigations can come from either the police or child protective services (CPS), and they will turn your world upside down. An allegation of child abuse or child neglect is incredibly painful for a parent or caregiver. CPS is often very aggressive in an investigation and will demand immediate access to your home and your personal life. A CPS investigation can result in loss of custody, intrusive supervision and oversight by CPS for a period of time, or criminal charges.
Many cases of child abuse and child neglect start with allegations from an ex-spouse, a teacher, someone who misinterpreted something that you did, or a busybody stirring up trouble. In any case, once that person starts the ball rolling it is difficult to stop. Nationwide, CPS agencies have a reputation for being heavy handed, unfair, unconcerned about a parent’s rights, and uncommunicative. Additionally, you are likely overcome with emotion and fear because these strangers are attacking you as a parent and are threatening your right to raise your child. The Law Office of David H. Fuller represents parents and caregivers in CPS investigations and criminal cases of child abuse or child neglect.
A lawyer can help you communicate with CPS or the police, make sure that your rights are protected, make sure that they do not overstep the boundaries of the law, and make sure that your case is presented. As a criminal defense attorney who represents people in front of CPS, David Fuller can also work to minimize the risk that CPS will refer your case for criminal prosecution and protect your right to raise your children.
