Thank you @canadian-coconut for sharing this story with us as well as some very helpful advice on choosing a lawyer. I really like the card you shared about our 4th and 5th Amendment Rights. I’m actually going to print that out and keep it with me.

It really sucks that your friend got that bad advice from her lawyer. It’s like once they are in it’s hard to reverse it and they are forever in your life. That social worker was very bold and blunt to suggest something like that...it’s just terribly sad. I sure hope and pray that if we ever need a lawyer to defend us against the CPS we will find one available that “knows” how to fight against them and that is not afraid to do so.
