DuPage County Child Abuse Defense Attorneys

Zealously Fighting Illinois Neglect Allegations

Few criminal allegations invoke the scorn and propensity to disregard the presumption of innocence than crimes against children. While child abuse is a serious issue, false allegations can result from a variety of sources that include:

  • Overzealous teachers;
  • Vindictive exes;
  • Misinterpreted physical signs by health care providers; and
  • Suggestive interviews conducted by therapists.

Our experienced DuPage County child abuse attorneys understand that mere allegations of child abuse can impact your job and reputation. If you are convicted, the consequences might go beyond the criminal penalties, such as incarceration in jail or prison, mandatory counseling, parenting classes, a criminal record, probation and other penalties. Based on the facts, your children might be removed from your home.

Understanding Child Abuse Law in Illinois

The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) abuse and neglect as, “Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm.”

Because of the broad language of the statute many types of acts can constitute child abuse, so you should seek prompt legal representation and avoid speaking to the police or investigators about your case. Whether an injury that occurred innocently is being misinterpreted or your child has been coached by a spiteful former spouse, we carefully investigate the facts and effectively cross-examine adverse witnesses. We might also employ child psychology experts to expose improper suggestions and parental alienation.
