CPS Child Abuse/Neglect Cases

If You Are Accused of Abuse or Neglect, Hire a Lawyer Immediately

In Texas, Child Protective Services (CPS) is empowered to intervene in cases involving allegations of child endangerment, criminal child neglect, domestic violence and child sexual abuse.

If an incident has been reported at your house, then it is not uncommon for Child Protective Services to intervene, even if it is for nothing more than a forensic interview with you and your children.

At Pelley Law Office, L.L.P., we have seen far too many examples of false reports leading to Child Protective Services intervention. Unfortunately, most parents rely on the notion that if nothing happened, CPS will not take their children. This is not always the case.

There may be a high risk that your children will be removed and placed temporarily into foster care. There is also a possibility that CPS may ask the court to have your children permanently removed into a foster home. Any delay in retaining an experienced CPS lawyer will increase the chances of that happening. Since we are experienced domestic relations and criminal lawyers, we can help guide you through all aspects of your situation.

You do not want to go through this process without representation by an experienced attorney who deals with Child Protective Services on a regular basis. CPS can file a petition for removal of your children and have them taken away from you. It is not easy to get your children back, especially without experienced representation at the CPS hearing.

If your case goes to court, it can lead to CPS recommending to the judge that your parental rights be terminated. That is a nightmare that you do not want to endure. There is also a high possibility that criminal charges could be filed. With all that at stake, it is vital to have an experienced law firm protecting your interests at every step of the process.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
