California Juvenile Dependency Lawyer
If your child or children were taken due to allegations from Child Protective Services (CPS / CFS), an accusation has already been made against you. Start your defense by calling a juvenile dependency attorney at Johnson and Johnson, based in Pittsburg, California.
In a juvenile dependency case, the courts take jurisdiction over your family due to neglect, physical abuse, sex abuse, or other allegations. Child Protective Services (CPS) or Children and Family Services (CFS) can come unannounced to your home and remove your children. Contacting an attorney immediately can have an exponentially positive affect on the outcome your case. At Johnson & Johnson, we understand it can be overwhelming to sort out all the legal issues during such an emotional period. This challenge is the reason that you need to have an experienced juvenile dependency on your side. If CPS or CFS is making their case against you, let us help you make your case for keeping your family together.
Together, we will work toward two goals: Protecting your child while simultaneously preserving and strengthening your family. Achieving either of these goals improves the likelihood of the other also succeeding.
After an initial investigation, a social worker representing CPS or CFS can file a petition in your child's name against you for parental abuse or neglect. If you have still not yet spoken to an attorney at this point, contact us now. If your child was taken, a social worker must either release your child or file a petition within 48 hours.
For the sake of your family, do not go before the juvenile court without a juvenile dependency lawyer who has been there time and again and helped families just like yours. Don't go it alone? Let our juvenile dependency attorney give you the legal advice you need to protect your family.
As an intermediary step, juvenile dependency attorney Carin Johnson can request that your child be released into the custody of another family member, such as grandparents or close family friends. We will inquire immediately about this option, and present a list of relatives and non-relative extended family members who can care for your children.
