DCF & Family Law
DCF & Family Law Made Simple
When your family is facing legal challenges—whether it’s involvement with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) or a difficult divorce—you need experienced, compassionate legal support. We provide comprehensive representation across a wide range of sensitive matters to help you move forward with confidence.
We defend clients against false allegations of neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse, working swiftly to protect your reputation and parental rights. From DCF 51A reports to DCF 51B investigations, we are with you every step of the way—representing parents, children, and collateral contacts during DCF interviews, home visits (in-person or virtual), and assessments. Our team assists in crafting strong collateral letters, negotiating action and safety plans, and guiding you through the process of getting your case closed.
