Throughout the process, we provide you legal guidance and emotional support, helping you understand your legal rights and responsibilities, and working to alleviate the stress and anxiety that often come with a CPS case.

If necessary, we are also able to represent you in any related legal proceedings, such as a termination of parental rights trial, and help you understand your options for appealing any adverse decisions.
