DEFENDING YOUR FAMILY
Legal Action Against ACS, DSS, and Child Welfare Agencies.
At Wertheimer Fleder LLP, we represent families who have been harmed by wrongful or unjustified actions by child welfare agencies such as ACS (Administration for Children’s Services) or DSS (Department of Social Services). These cases often involve traumatic removals, false accusations, and discriminatory treatment that disrupt and damage families.
Protecting Families from Overreach.
We represent parents and caregivers facing harm from child welfare agencies that act without proper cause. From wrongful removals and false allegations to discriminatory treatment and due process violations, we fight to protect family integrity and hold ACS, DSS, and other agencies accountable.
