Child Abuse

Defending Against Life-Altering Allegations

Facing Child Abuse Charges? What You Need to Know:

Few charges carry a heavier stigma than child abuse. A conviction can destroy your reputation, separate you from your children, and lead to harsh penalties. Unfortunately, many accusations arise during contentious custody disputes, false reports, or misunderstandings—leaving innocent parents and caregivers fighting for their freedom and families.

What Are Child Abuse Crimes?

Child abuse charges can include physical harm, neglect, or emotional mistreatment of a minor. In many cases, allegations are triggered by observations from teachers, doctors, neighbors, or relatives—even when no abuse occurred. Once reported, Child Protective Services often intervenes, and children may be removed from the home.

Potential Penalties Include:

Convictions may result in jail or prison time, loss of parental rights, mandatory counseling, and permanent damage to personal and professional reputation.
Even unproven allegations can cause significant emotional and financial hardship.
