Don't Try Defending Yourself
The State of North Carolina takes allegations of child abuse and neglect very seriously.
You may think that you can protect your parental rights by simply telling your side of the story to the judge. But you can be assured that the Department of Social Services will have its case well prepared. Their purpose will be to terminate your parental rights or restrict your access to your children. Without effective legal representation, your children could be put in the sole custody of their other parent, or they could be put under the care of a relative or foster parent. In either case, you could lose all access to your children or severe restrictions could placed on your contact with them.
An attorney at our firm can represent you to challenge the state's case. We will verify whether or not your behavior really did meet the technical terms of abuse as defined by the statute in an effort to overcome the allegations. If there is some substance to the allegations, we can seek to mitigate any restrictions placed on your access to your children.
