Get help right away

If you suspect you’re being investigated for child abuse, you need legal representation immediately. Without it, the fate of your family could be at the mercy of the system. Don’t wait until your children are taken from you. 

Case workers are not your advocates. Their sole interest lies in protecting children, but even they can make mistakes. And we’ve seen firsthand just how devastating those mistakes can be. 

With competent legal counsel at your side, you can respond with confidence, knowing that investigators will be held as accountable as you are.

You have rights

The inner workings of a child abuse investigation are complicated and difficult to follow, and most parents don’t fully understand the implications. The most important thing to know is that, as a parent, you are entitled to due process. Hiring legal counsel ensures that process is followed to the letter of the law.

If an investigation is taking place, document everything. If you’re interacting with investigators face-to-face or over the phone, record the conversation. It’s allowed under Texas law and can come in handy when you need to build a case.
