Family Defense Practice
The Delaney Law Firm works tirelessly to keep families together and defend parents fighting against the painful and unnecessary removal of their children. We provide the strong legal defense necessary in dependency and neglect cases, and empower parents to advocate for themselves and their families.
The vast majority of parents we represent are charged because of issues related to poverty, unstable housing, mental illness or addiction. Despite the fact that children experience better health and psychological outcomes by staying with their parents than being placed into foster care, many families in Colorado are at risk of losing their children.
The focus of our work is to assert the due process rights of parents, including their constitutional right to family integrity. Studies and experience show that foster care stays result in poor outcomes for children due to the trauma of separation from their families and repeated moves within the foster care system.
By zealously representing parents, the Delaney Law Firm reduces the likelihood of foster care placement in the first instance and reduces the average time children spend in foster care overall.
