Protective Custody/Child Protection

A Protective Custody case is opened when the Department of Health and Human Services becomes involved in a family's life and has requested court intervention. This often means that the children have been removed from the home and placed in foster care. Our firm has successfully represented parents that have found themselves in this situation and have been able to reunify with their children. Our firm has also successfully represented individuals that are not the biological parents but have an interest in the well-being of the children in these cases, such as foster parents and grandparents.
