Frequently Asked Questions About Child Abuse Charges
What do I do if the police, CPS, or DSS says they are investigating me for child abuse or child sexual abuse?
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE CHARGED TO CONTACT A LAWYER. Contact our firm. We can “run interference” with law enforcement from the very beginning. We have had tremendous success with these types of cases, often limiting the charges and helping prevent clients from making crucial mistakes.
Is child abuse a felony or a misdemeanor?
It depends. Charges involving child abuse range from second degree assault, a misdemeanor, to 1st degree assault or 1st degree child abuse, a felony. These cases are complex and you need an experienced lawyer to help you navigate any charges.
Can I keep my child if I am being investigated for child abuse?
The answer is usually no. Under most circumstances, the child(ren) will be placed with others during the pendency of the investigation and/or case. Our firm can help ensure that your child is placed with a family member or someone you trust rather than foster care.
