Child Abuse Lawyer in Harnett County
I can defend you in all aspects of your Harnett County child abuse or child endangerment case. Especially when parents are facing the charges, these proceedings are usually filed in connection with a Child Protective Services (CPS) case to remove a child from an allegedly negligent parent's home.
My goal in a child abuse prosecution is to protect you from the criminal penalties that would follow a conviction and to protect your professional and family interests. I know how to challenge the findings of a CPS investigation and broaden the inquiry to cover circumstances that show you in a better light as a parent or child care professional. We work regularly in the Harnett County Courthouse in Lillington and can help you maneuver through this process.
Child abuse investigations are not always of the highest quality. When very small children are involved, the statements of the children themselves can be manipulated by the investigator. When older children are involved, the child's behavioral or emotional problems can result in false accusations or manipulation of the investigator's sympathy. In many cases, a child may simply tell the investigator what he or she thinks the investigator wants to hear.
There often exists an opportunity to develop a robust defense through the use of forensic witnesses and independent examination of the children involved. My understanding of the CPS and child welfare investigative process can give you an advantage in defeating criminal child abuse charges.
At White Law Offices, we have the experience you need to move past this time in your life; no matter how serious the charge. Contact us today at (919) 331-0312. |
