Child Abuse / CPS

Dallas Child Abuse Defense Attorney

People often assume that anyone accused of sexual or physical abuse is guilty. The truth is that false accusations are made all too frequently. Sometimes an arrest is based on nothing more than suspicion and overreaction. Unfortunately, these days anyone can potentially be accused of child abuse or molestation.

The state or federal authorities have the burden of proving the allegations, and the charges must hold up under the scrutiny of the court and the challenge of an aggressive defense attorney like Sindhu Alexander Stovall.

Strong Defense Is a Must

With out the immediate help of an accomplished defense attorney, those accused of child abuse can face ruined reputations, devastated relationships, and loss of freedom.

Attorney Sindhu Alexander Stovall is a former child abuse prosecutor for Dallas County and is experienced in these sensitive issues. She has worked with Child Protective Services (CPS) and the professionals trained specifically in the child abuse area. She can effectively cross-examine children and other witnesses on delicate sexual matters without attacking the child or angering the jury.

Ms. Stovall aggressively defends clients throughout the Dallas-Forth Worth area and North Texas, including Dallas County, Collin County, Denton County, and Tarrant County.

Possible Consequences of Abuse Charges

A guilty verdict on child abuse charges typically brings a long prison sentence and lifelong registration as a sex offender.

Even if acquitted, the stigma of having been accused can remain forever. That is why it is so important to have the aggressive representation of a skilled defense attorney on your side as soon as possible.

Those not charged with a crime may also face consequences. CPS can remove a child from the home if it believes the environment endangers the child or contributed to alleged abuse.

Civil Cases against Child Protective Services

The admirable goal of CPS is to protect children in jeopardy, eventually reuniting them with their family if possible. All too often, however, children are removed from their parents' care based on an unproven allegation and placed in potentially dangerous foster care. The parents may be denied or allowed only limited visitation.

A smart attorney who is dedicated to fighting for what is truly in the best interests of children knows how to work with CPS to resolve these matters. Ms. Stovall aggressively represents parents in separate civil actions against CPS.
