CPS investigations are initiated following reports of child abuse or neglect, often coming from sources like concerned individuals, mandatory reporters, or even anonymous tips. The process can be overwhelming for subjects, impacting their lives significantly. Understanding the investigative procedures and potential outcomes is crucial for individuals facing such challenging situations.

Subjects of CPS investigations may not be aware of their rights, including the fundamental right to legal representation throughout the investigation process. A lack of knowledge about their rights can leave individuals vulnerable and in need of professional legal guidance to navigate the complexities of CPS proceedings effectively. At Sercu Law, we empower our clients by ensuring they understand and exercise their rights at every stage of the investigation.

Subjected to allegations of child abuse or neglect, individuals are often provided only a brief overview without access to specific details, making it challenging to defend themselves adequately. Moreover, the low standard of proof required for findings against subjects raises concerns about potential misinterpretations or unjust outcomes. Our team at Sercu Law is dedicated to advocating for our clients and challenging unsubstantiated allegations with diligence and expertise.
