Parents
Babysitters and nannies
Daycare staff
Teachers and coaches
Relatives and caretakers
Our attorneys take the time to understand what happened and evaluate the facts thoroughly.

We treat every case with discretion, empathy, and a commitment to protecting your rights.
Our goal is to build a strong defense, present the truth, and fight for your parental rights and your future.
Challenging Findings of Abuse or Neglect
If an administrative agency or court has found that you caused abuse or neglect, you may face serious consequences, including loss of custody, supervised visitation, or placement on a child abuse registry. You also have the right to challenge and appeal these findings through the appropriate administrative or judicial channels.

Preparing evidence and documentation for review
Representing you during administrative or court hearings
