Q: How can I find a competent child abuse attorney in northern VA?
CPS is wrongly accusing my niece of child abuse because her 2 month old has been sick
A: Any attorney licensed to practice law in VA is deemed to be competent. You can go onto the VA State Bar website to see if the attorney you ultimately select has had any reports filed against him or her. Otherwise do your research: check out his or her website if there is one, read the client reviews if there are any (if there are not any, ask yourself "why?") and talk to friends. Most attorneys will give you a free consultation.
