Nothing is more scary than the thought of Child Protective Services taking your child/children from you.   You have all heard the horror stories about families losing their children.   McGlinn & McGlinn has represented parents and children in dependency cases in Juvenile Court since 1973.   An experienced and competent attorney representing you from the start of your case is extremely important.   What most people do not realize is that the law can prevent reunification services to certain parents based on the reason for the removal of the child / children.   For very young children, you may have only 6 months to reunify with your child/children and for older children the law allows 18 months to reunify.   Hire McGlinn & McGlinn at the start of your involvement with Child Protective Services to receive the best legal representation and guidance to protect you and your child. The clock is ticking from the first day your child/children are removed from your care and waiting to hire legal counsel until months into the case can be devastating.
