DCFS Investigations and Appeals

One of our firm's most specialized areas of practice is representing individuals involved with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). An 'indicated' finding of abuse or neglect can have devastating consequences for your career and family life. Lori Levin is a leading authority in this niche field, helping parents, teachers, and childcare workers navigate:

• DCFS Investigations: Intervening early to protect your rights during the investigative process.
• Administrative Appeals: Fighting to overturn indicated findings of abuse or neglect.
• Expungements: Working to clear your name from the State Central Register.

Juvenile Justice and Mental Health

Additionally, Lori Levin is a passionate advocate in Mental Health Law, assisting families with civil commitments, forced treatment hearings, and cases where mental illness intersects with the criminal justice system. 🧠
