Why You Need a Lawyer
Child abuse cases carry a certain level of moral turpitude that other crimes don't have. As a result, people who suspect child abuse are required by law to report it, even if they don't know the details of what really happened. This usually results in Child Protective Services (CPS) being contacted and taking action right away.
I help my clients tell their side of the story by:
- Working with law enforcement and prosecutors to fully understand the charges against you
- Negotiating as necessary to reduce your charges or get them dropped
- Finding character witnesses who can attest to your good nature
- Uncovering inconsistencies in any testimony against you
Penalties for Child Abuse
Child abuse charges have the potential to cause serious harm to a person's future. If you are convicted of child abuse, you face years in prison and the frustration of having a criminal record documenting a violent crime. Your life as a parent could also suffer repercussions, including having your child removed from your home.

While false accusations of child abuse aren't extremely common, they do happen, and you could have been victim to one of them. No family is perfect. As your advocate, my team and I will do everything possible to get you the best possible outcome in these challenging times.
