Phoenix, Arizona, Child Protective Services Defense Lawyer
If you have been accused of a sex crime such as child sexual abuse in Arizona, you face potential penalties that go far beyond jail time. You could lose your parental rights through a civil action filed by Arizona Child Protective Services (CPS). If you have been contacted by CPS, our lawyers offer a free initial consultation at our Phoenix office to explain your rights.
In Arizona, you can lose your parental rights and have your children taken away through a civil action filed by Child Protective Services even if you are found not guilty of criminal sex charges. As defense attorneys, our role is to stand between the heavy hand of CPS and parents whose rights are at stake.
CPS investigators are often bullying in their tactics and may threaten to take your children away if you do not cooperate with their investigation. However, regardless of what the CPS representative tells you, almost every credible attorney will advise you to exercise your right to remain silent.
If you waive your Miranda rights and give a statement to CPS investigators and prosecutors, you could end up giving CPS the evidence they need to take your children away and giving the prosecutors enough evidence to convict you. While you can hire a lawyer to litigate whether your statements can be used against you, the time to protect your rights is before you say anything to CPS investigators and prosecutors.
