San Diego Child Neglect Lawyer
Child abuse allegations are very serious, whether they are from the Department of Social Services or law enforcement. In addition to the fines and possible jail sentence, you may lose custody of your children temporarily or permanently. You do not want to lose your parental rights. Contact a San Diego child abuse attorney immediately.
For 30 years, the law office of Richard F. Arroyo has practiced in San Diego Juvenile Court handling dependency law cases involving parents losing custody of their children and facing criminal and child abuse charges. I have the experience to defend you against these charges and protect your parental rights. For a free consultation, please call 619-370-9074 or contact us online.
Reasons for the Loss of Parental Rights
There are many types of child abuse and child endangerment. Children may be removed from a home for the following reasons:
- Dirty home
- Medical neglect
- Failure to thrive
- Exposure to domestic violence
- Exposure to parental drug or alcohol abuse
- Physical abuse
- Sexual molestation
I also handle complex cases involving undocumented individuals in California. I work closely with the Mexican consulate and immigration lawyers to help undocumented persons falsely accused of committing crimes or abusing their children.
In some of these cases, parents may be charged with child abuse for transporting illegal items across the U.S./Mexican border, including drugs, contraband and people if their children were with them. I will examine the arrest and police procedures, such as the search and seizure, to see if your rights were violated.
If you are facing child abuse accusations for excessive disciplinary action such as hitting with a belt, or causing a serious injury or death of a child, I can represent you in both dependency and criminal courts. I have a reputation for strong criminal defense among my former clients as well as prosecutors, law enforcement professionals and judges.
