DEPENDENCY

A Dependency case is a proceeding in which a parent has been accused of abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment of their child(ren). Generally, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) will come to your home to investigate anonymous accusations against the parent(s).   The case then shifts to you, the parent, to prove that your child is not at risk by you or anyone else who lives in the home.

If you are involved in a Dependency case, your child(ren) have been removed from your home, or you are being investigated by DCF, then you need to call Attorneys at Law Simone Freitas.  She has over five (5) years experience specifically in Florida Juvenile Dependency work.  She will vigorously fight for your rights and use every legal means to reunite you with your child(ren).

Failure to act immediately can greatly impact your ability to obtain your children and could result in the termination of your parental rights.
