DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN & FAMILIES

Massachusetts DCF Lawyers | Custody of the State | Foster Care | Child & Parent Representation

One of the most traumatic events in the life of a family is when DCF calls or appears at your door to remove a child from the care of his or her parents.  It is essential that parents immediately retain a skilled, highly trained and experienced attorney to represent them at this critical time.

No parent, grandparent or relative should speak with DCF without first consulting with an attorney trained in this area.  This is critical to keeping the child from being placed in the custody of the state and perhaps placed in foster care.  When your case involves the removal or possible removal of your child, you need an experienced legal advocate on your side to protect you and your child from the time of the initial call or visit from DCF through resolution.

It is important for parents to understand that by speaking to DCF without representation they may make statements which the parents believe are innocent but could lead to criminal prosecution of the parents for abuse.

Attorneys Hugh Ferguson and Jonathan Fields diligently represent parents and children in the juvenile courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Both Attorney Ferguson and Fields are certified by the Commonwealth to represent parents and children.
