The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), also known as CPS, is charged with investigating and taking what they deem to be appropriate action when allegations of the mistreatment of a child are brought to their attention. The DCFS can do an amazing amount of good, but when proper procedures are not followed or an overzealous investigator comes to a conclusion that is not true, families and reputations can suffer intense damage.
If you are facing false allegations of child abuse or have otherwise been the victim of excesses at the hands of the DCFS, it may seem as though you are powerless in the face of an impenetrable bureaucracy with access to such significant resources. But, you are not powerless.
With experienced and effective legal representation, you can more than level the playing field and protect your family. It is critical that you take action as soon as possible, hopefully before you are interviewed. Many people make the mistake of believing that they can simply explain the situation. Often times, people come out of these interviews having made their situation worse rather than better.
At Stolar & Associates, our attorneys have been helping families stay together for more than 25 years. We are respected in the courts and amongst our peers in the legal community. We know how to present effective cases that can refute DCFS findings and help you protect your family.
A key component of successfully defending yourself and your family from the DCFS can be the utilization of experts to support your opinion. Our firm understands the value experts can bring and will employ them as necessary to provide our clients with the protection they need.
