Dependency Attorneys
San Jose Family Law
Having your child taken away from you by Child Protective Services ("CPS") is an extremely traumatic experience. Maneuvering through the dependency system without the assistance of a dedicated attorney is virtually impossible. It is a struggle that no child or the person responsible for that child should go through. Hoover & Bechtel can assist you by providing knowledgeable representation, combined with compassion, to guide you through the system. It is vital to have a lawyer who knows your case and has the experience and knowledge to advise you regarding all of your options right from the beginning stages of your dependency matter as well as to ensure that your case plan is specifically tailored for you and your child's needs.
It is Hoover & Bechtel's belief and understanding that the primary goal of the dependency system is to safely reunify parents with their children, and this is the position we take as well. In most cases parents are required to complete various court ordered services, such as: parent education courses, alcohol and/or drug substance abuse programs, individual and family counseling, domestic violence programs, etc. After the courses are completed, the judge may deem it is safe to return the child to the parent.
Getting your life back on track and regaining custody of your children is a difficult battle, but it's one that you do not have to do alone. If you need help regarding your dependency matter please ring us.
