Counsel for Child Protection Cases in the Hudson Valley
If you need advice in child protection proceedings or investigations involving the New York Department of Social Services, contact a knowledgeable attorney at the Kingston law firm of Jonathan R. Sennett, P.C. Our office provides insightful and dependable client service on the full range of child neglect, abuse and dependency issues in Ulster County, Dutchess County and Orange County.
Our familiarity with criminal defense, family law and the Integrated Domestic Violence courts throughout the Hudson Valley can expand your options and help you find solutions to difficult problems concerning the following:
- Out of home placement of children
- Child abuse or neglect cases
- Domestic violence cases
- Foster care issues
- Termination of parental rights cases
We represent parents accused of abuse or neglect in child protection cases, and also provide advice for the "innocent" parent whose rights and interests will also be affected by state intervention. In situations where the child needs independent representation, we can also serve as a valuable resource to make sure that the best interests of the child are kept in mind throughout the case by all parties concerned.
Additionally, we represent foster parents who encounter problems with their licenses in administrative proceedings with the state. Other clients can benefit from our services in expungement or record sealing petitions to clear up past records of child abuse or neglect.
We understand what's at stake when the state takes an interest in your domestic affairs and threatens your family relationships. For additional information and advice about a child protection situation in your home, contact an experienced lawyer at the office of Jonathan R. Sennett, P.C.
