Raleigh, North Carolina, CPS Investigation Defense Lawyer
Are You Being Investigated by Child Protective Services?
Child Protective Services often gets involved to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse before the police come calling. If CPS has called or visited your home to ask questions about improper contact with a child, you can be sure that you are under investigation. All it takes is a child or parent to accuse you of inappropriate contact and you may be questioned about your contact with the child. In many circumstances, it is a short step from a CPS investigation to being charged.
Roberts Law Group, PLLC provides skillful, aggressive representation for people charged with sex offenses against children or those who may be under investigation by Child Protective Services.
If you have been accused of a sex offense, the CPS investigator will often open an inquiry. You can expect the following:
- Contact from the CPS agent, by phone, mail or in person
- You may or may not be advised of your rights. They are not obliged to do so.
- Their job is to gather evidence to support the child's allegations.
- The CPS investigator is legally obligated to share evidence with the police.
You must take the CPS investigation seriously. It is usually the first step before filing of a criminal charge for sex abuse or another sex offense against a minor. If you have been contacted, we urge you to:
- Speak with a qualified, experienced criminal defense attorney right away
- Don't say a word to the investigator or police unless advised to do so by your lawyer
- Don't approach or talk to the child or family members who made the accusations
- Do not discuss the investigation with ANYBODY.
CPS wields a tremendous amount of influence with the police and prosecutors, particularly in the current emotionally charged atmosphere regarding sex abuse. Contact us right away. We'll explain your options and start defending your rights immediately.
