Dallas-Fort Worth Child Protection Services AttorneyTexas families involved in Child Protective Service (CPS) litigation often fail to appreciate the seriousness of a CPS investigation until it is too late. The experienced family law attorneys at Schreier & Housewirth have handled child protection and CPS litigation, and we provide clients with the chance for a positive outcome. Contact a Fort Worth child protection services lawyer at our firm today. For the last fifteen years, Texas child protection attorney Holly J. Schreier has devoted much of her practice to issues concerning child endangerment and the protection of children. As former Chief Prosecutor of Child Protective Services Cases in one of Dallas County's two juvenile courts, Attorney Schreier now uses her extensive knowledge of Child Protective Services and the juvenile court systems to represent children and parents in abuse and neglect cases filed by the State. Whether supported by evidence or simply the product of an unfounded accusation, Child Protective Services (CPS) is required to investigate reports of child abuse or neglect to protect children. Texas state law requires any person who believes that a child has been abused or neglected to make a report to CPS or to a law enforcement agency. (Section 261.001 of the Texas Family Code provides the legal definition of child abuse and child neglect.) Parents, grandparents, and foster parents must act quickly to protect their rights and those of their children. While it is always a good idea to cooperate with CPS, it is important to remember that CPS is represented by the District Attorney and that any child or children involved in an investigation will be represented by a Guardian Ad Litem. Contact Schreier & Housewirth today for experienced, responsive representation for your child protection needs in both the investigatory and legal stages. |
