Abuse & Neglect Cases

When the WV Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) or Child Protective Services (CPS) makes allegations of abuse or neglect of a juvenile, the consequences to a family can be severe and far-reaching. If you have been accused of abusing or neglecting a child in your care, we can help you! Our experienced team of legal professionals is committed to fighting to protect and defend your parental rights. We make the DHHR and CPS do their jobs.

We also are experienced in aiding in the intervention of interested parties such as grandparents or foster parents.

If you believe the DHHR and/or CPS are violating your rights or not acting in the best interest of the children they are supposed to be protecting, we are here to help.

Also known as “restraining orders,” domestic violence protective orders (DVPO) are not always filed for honest reasons. Often, these restraining orders are used to gain an advantage in a divorce or custody proceeding. They can also be used as a precursor to criminal allegations of domestic violence. Our dedicated attorneys will dig deep to find the truth behind the claims made in a request for a DVPO and defend your rights against anyone trying to tear your family apart!

Recognizing the sensitivity and gravity of such allegations, we approach each case with the utmost care, diligently working to counter the criminal charge claims made against our clients. Whether the accusations involve misconduct in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or care provided by caregivers, we focus on building a strong defense to protect your rights and reputation.
