Department of Children and Families (DCF)

In Connecticut, the Department of Children and Families can intervene in family situations involving any allegations of risk of harm to children. While DCF's goal is to protect children, improve child and family well-being, and support and preserve families, not all complaints to DCF are made in good faith, and there can be assessment errors and misunderstandings. Even in those cases involving bona fide concerns of parental abuse or neglect, an attorney can assist in negotiating services and resolutions of the complaint. Attorney Yagaloff will listen to you and help to arrive at a solution that is best for your child, yourself, and your entire family's well-being.
