If you have been reported to the Department of Social Services (DSS), it is important to do your best to stay calm. These scenarios can play out in a variety of ways, but one of the best things you can do for yourself, and your family, is to reach out to an experienced family attorney in Beaufort County. Being charged with child abuse and/or neglect can jeopardize your entire life, including your relationships, housing, and career, so don’t try to handle this all on your own. Find a qualified and tenacious lawyer to assist you.
The potential of having your children taken away from you is enough to make any parent panic, but with a good attorney, you can rest well knowing that you have a fighting chance to keep your family together.

In a DSS case, there are several potential angles for defense, and we’ll go the extra mile to demonstrate your competence as a parent.
