Houston Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan Can Represent You or Your Child if CPS Is Investigating Your Family.
You need to know that a CPS report will be forwarded to the police or to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, therefore you have to consider the possible consequences once you learn that a CPS investigation has been started. You or a family member could be arrested. During the early stages of the investigation, do not be misled. A CPS investigator may ask you some serious questions which could implicate you or a family member in a criminal or juvenile offense. An investigator may assure you that if you help explain some troubling issues that it may clear you or a family member of suspicion. The investigator may even ask you to undergo a polygraph examination.
If you have been contacted by CPS for an interview and or to take a polygraph, contact Houston Criminal Defense Attorney James Sullivan at (281) 546-6428 for CPS Investigations immediately.
Both the interview and the polygraph examination should be stopped by your attorney so that he can first assess the situation and the reason for the investigation. You should put your attorney between the CPS investigator and you. You have the absolute right to remain silent. Do not give up that right. Polygraph examinations are not reliable and the results cannot be used in court, however what you tell the polygrapher may be used against you. The State uses interviews and polygraph examinations to strengthen their case against you.
Talk to a lawyer before you talk to CPS.

James Sullivan is appreciative of the reviews that clients take the time to write for him.
I’m writing this review because I want families in a similar situation to make the right choice and learn from my lesson. James Sullivan is your CPS, criminal defense and juvenile defense attorney all rolled up in one, but he is much more than an attorney. He is a caring, thoughtful, compassionate person on a mission to help teens. Mr. Sullivan, thank you for every step of the way... If only I could have recorded Mr. Sullivan’s passionate argument for pretrial diversion in front of the Judge and the prosecuting attorney. Wow! This guy has superior trial skills! We truly are blessed, and the judge granted Mr. Sullivan’s request and gave my son deferred prosecution. His case will be dismissed in less than a year, and he can get his record sealed at 17. Great job Mr. Sullivan and God bless you! ~GRG (Avvo review on juvenile sex crime case, posted on 02/03/2019)
