CPS Defense, DCYF Investigations, and Dependency Hearings

Facing Child Protective Services or the Department of Children, Youth, and Families can be terrifying for any parent. The first 72 hours following state intervention are critical, and having skilled representation immediately can make the difference between family unity and devastating separation. If you need to hire an attorney to protect your constitutional parental rights, the firm provides decisive defense across critical proceedings:

• Emergency shelter care hearings: Representing parents at mandatory 72-hour shelter care proceedings to contest unwarranted removals and demand immediate family placement.
• Private CPS investigation defense: Advising clients during administrative inquiries, home visits, and state interviews to ensure constitutional protections are safeguarded.
• Dependency trial representation: Litigating contested dependency fact-finding trials and review hearings to hold state agencies to strict evidentiary standards.
• Family reunification advocacy: Securing court-ordered service plans, visitation schedules, and supportive medical partnerships designed to bring children back home safely.

Contested Child Custody, Adoptions, and Guardianships

Resolving disagreements over where children live and who makes legal decisions requires strategic negotiation and resolute courtroom presentation. The attorneys handle a broad range of domestic matters with sensitivity and focus:

• Third-party custody and non-parental actions: Defending parents against hostile third-party petitions or helping qualifying relatives establish stable kinship guardianship.
• Adoption law services: Guiding prospective parents, stepparents, and relative caregivers through Washington adoption requirements and termination of parental rights proceedings.
• Child custody and parenting plan modifications: Establishing clear parenting schedules, resolving relocation conflicts, and petitioning for post-decree adjustments.
• Domestic violence protection: Representing clients in protection order hearings, restraining order petitions, and related safety proceedings.

Juvenile Defense, Administrative Appeals, and Estate Documents

In addition to child welfare advocacy, the firm defends minors facing juvenile court charges and assists parents in appealing adverse administrative findings issued by state agencies. Furthermore, the team prepares individual estate planning documents, including last wills and testaments, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, ensuring that clients have complete legal frameworks in place for their family future.
