Childrens Protective Services

The Phoenix Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC

Before formally charged by the police, you may face an investigation by the Children's Protective Services (CPS). After a child or parent makes an allegation of sexual misconduct against you, the CPS will call you to question you about the conduct. If subject of an investigation, call the Phoenix, Arizona, Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC at (480) 588-5699. We represent people throughout Maricopa County, Yavapai County, La Paz County, Mohave County, and Pinal County.

With almost twenty years of experience and a former Maricopa County prosecutor, attorney Howard Snader will represent you during CPS hearings and advise you about the investigation process including:

• When the child makes an allegation, the CPS investigator will contact you
• They do not need to advise you of your rights before questioning you
• Their job is to get evidence to corroborate the child's story of abuse
• After gathering enough evidence, CPS will contact the police

The investigation of an allegation by Children's Protective Services is a critical stage of your case. Attempting to gathering evidence, an investigator will attempt to question you without counsel present. Most times, they will not advise you of the pending criminal charges against you. If you feel like you soon may be subject to an investigation or are currently under investigation, call the Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC. We will advise about you the course action you should take to protect your rights.

By not speaking to our attorney before a CPS investigation places you at risk:

• To be charged with a sex crime against a child
• To loss your parental rights
• To be unable to go back to your residence
• To loss contact with all under age children

Even if the CPS has completed its investigation of your case and suggested a child safety plan, it is still wise to speak to us. After their investigation, they may refer your case to the police, where you will face criminal charges. CPS works closely with the police in order to protect children.
