If a child protective service agency (CPS) in your county contacts you with a potential investigation, it is extremely serious. The role of CPS is to investigate allegations of child abuse or neglect which could lead to grave consequences such as removal of your child from your home or being listed on a child abuse database. Attorney Teri Lim has a successful track record representing PARENTS involved with CPS investigations, helping them fight allegations of physical, emotional, mental abuse and protect their families. CPS investigation typically starts after receiving a report of alleged abuse or neglect through a designated county child abuse hotline. These investigations may trigger multiple charges leading to criminal or juvenile dependency court proceedings. It is imperative to have an experienced attorney to competently represent you to achieve a favorable outcome in a dependency matter. As a former children’s social worker with DCFS and a former psychiatric social worker with Dept. of Mental Health in Los Angeles County, Ms. Lim understands the stress and fear associated with the complex nature of CPS investigations. As such, she strives to provide the best possible defense for your case.
