Help for Complicated and Serious Charges

Child abuse or injury to a child is an assault crime that is as complex as it is serious. Generally, the charge means that you are being accused of doing or failing to do something that caused a child to have a serious injury or a serious mental deficiency. These are felony charges, with the level of felony and potential jail sentence depending on the circumstance and the severity of the alleged harm to the child.

If you have been accused of child abuse or causing injury to a child, you need a lawyer who understands these charges and will aggressively protect your rights. Police and Child Protective Services may work together on an investigation, and the resulting criminal charges can be subjective.

We understand the complex laws in this area, and we will scour the prosecutor’s evidence to determine whether the state can prove these charges and whether you have one of several defenses available to you.
