DCFS Matters

Protect Your Family

It can be terrifying when DCFS shows up at your doorstep. They may threaten to place your children in foster care or with family members.

You have rights in these situations. An experienced DCFS lawyer can help you stand up for your rights.

How DCFS Cases Work

DCFS cases are different than any other type of law. There are special rules and rights for everyone involved, and the stakes could not be any higher. Furthermore, you contest DCFS cases within the agency, not within a normal courtroom. That’s why it’s important to have a dedicated lawyer and advocate on your side.

It is not uncommon for a divorce case to turn dirty so that a parent will make a DCFS “Hotline” call on the other parent just to harass them. When this happens you need to know your rights and you need to know how to fight an “indicated” (or founded) claim.
