Child abuse and neglect cases are among the most heart-wrenching and complex legal matters one can face. These cases not only involve legal intricacies but also have profound implications for the well-being and safety of children. At Ames Law Group, we understand the gravity of these situations and are committed to providing unwavering support and expert legal representation to families in need.
It's crucial to emphasize that seeking proper representation at the outset of a child abuse or neglect investigation is paramount. Many individuals may not realize that they have a right to engage legal counsel to represent them even during the investigative stage. Whether you're facing inquiries from the Department of Child Protection and Permanency in New Jersey (DCPP), the Administration for Children's Services in New York (ACS), or Children and Youth Services in Pennsylvania (CYS), having an experienced attorney by your side can make all the difference.
The Importance of Early Intervention
The decisions made early in a child abuse or neglect case can have far-reaching consequences. That's why it's imperative to have someone who can advocate for your rights and present your case effectively from the very beginning. The initial hearing sets the tone for the entire legal process and can determine whether a child remains in the home or is placed in foster care.
Our founder and lead attorney, Patricia A. Ames, Esq., brings years of specialized experience to every child abuse and neglect case she handles. With a deep understanding of child welfare law and a commitment to protecting families, Attorney Ames stands ready to fight for your rights and the well-being of your children.

Different states have varying timelines for court proceedings, which can lead to extended periods between hearings. Having a knowledgeable attorney who understands the nuances of the legal process can provide invaluable support and guidance during these challenging times.
