Illinois Department of Children and Family Services
According to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), its mission is to protect and provide for the well-being of Illinois children. Backed by the state government, DCFS monitors and investigates the health, safety and welfare of children. It is often brought into the following types of situations:
- Allegations of neglect or abuse
- Juvenile or divorce court matters
- Adoption proceedings
- Foster care supervision
If you have been notified of a DCFS investigation into an issue that concerns you or a loved one, you should seek immediate legal representation. If you do not actively pursue your rights, a DCFS investigation can negatively impact your family in many ways. In addition to possible criminal charges, you risk having your children removed from your home and you may lose your right to custody and visitation.
If you have already been indicted by DCFS, you have the right to appeal the decision. David will navigate you through the process so you can determine which course of action would best benefit you and your family.
