Big Wins – DYFS / DCPP Investigations
Our New Jersey DYFS Lawyers represents hundreds of people / couples each year facing DYFS / DCPP investigations. We realized that there were just far too many to post in our Big Wins page and most of the cases were fairly similar. In all of these cases, DYFS / DCPP was bothering the client(s) and they wanted our lawyers to make them go away while at the same time preventing DYFS / DCPP from taking them to court. In all of these cases, we were successful. Just like our other list of Big Wins, this list will never be close to complete. It will just give you an idea as to the number of people we have helped. As always, every case is different and there is no lawyer on this planet that can win every single case. However, our success rate is very high.
It is important to note that all of these people accepted these basic principles:
1. Hiring a lawyer will not make things worse
2. They would trust our advice and not make any assumptions
3. They didn’t think that it would just go away or that they could handle it.

Passaic County DCPP Lawyers help client get children back
Passaic County DCPP Lawyers help client get children back
Meredith M.
This client had a different attorney prior to hiring us. She wanted us to get the job done and get her children back. Our DCPP lawyers fought hard and we quickly got her children back. A short time later, we were able to get the case dismissed. Had the client hired us sooner, our lawyers could have helped her get the children back much sooner. If you want to avoid that mistake, hire the right lawyer from the start of the case!
Sussex County DCPP Lawyers help client achieve reunification with her child
Sussex County DCPP Lawyers help client achieve reunification with her child
Christina M.
This was a strange case because DCPP really had it out for the client. The client had a serious drug problem but we got her the help she needed. In fact, her compliance was flawless. Despite that, DCPP still fought us every single step of the way for unknown reasons. Despite that, we were able to help the client achieve reunification. This shows that when you have a lawyer that will never stop fighting for you, even the most difficult cases can be won.

Morris County DCPP Lawyers helps client get her child back after relapse
Kristen V.
This case started out easy enough. Like many clients, she had a serious drug problem. We got her into the services that she needed and the case was going fine. However, she relapsed rather late into the case and as a result, it looked like we would have to fight it out at the permanency hearing. When the going gets tough, we get tougher! Our lawyers fought hard and worked to avoid a permanency hearing. As a result, the client was reunified with her child and the case was closed well ahead of the permanency hearing.
Toms River DCPP Lawyer gets Order to Show Cause Dismissed
Toms River DCPP Lawyer gets Order to Show Cause Dismissed
Barry W.
Ocean County
Our client was accused of assaulting his older son. However, the client indicated that he was defending his younger son who was being assault by the other older one. The two sons were from different mothers and as a result, this litigation only dealt with the younger son. The thought process here from the State is that if someone assaults one child, they will assault another. Of course, there is nothing to support that logic and Jef argued to the court that the case should be dismissed. The court adjourned the order to show cause to another date for further consideration. On the return date, the order to show cause was dismissed.
Hudson County Child Abuse Lawyer helps client avoid lengthy prison sentence
D.K.
Jersey City, Hudson County Superior Court
This was a case that made news around the world. Its every parent’s worse nightmare: you hire a nanny to watch your baby only to find out that the nanny is abusing the baby! The client was caught via a webcam and soon after the incident, she was unable to be located for several months. As a result, she was declared a fugitive. The video of the client assaulting the baby was all over the news. Eventually the client was caught. This is an impossible case to defend right? Not so said our Hudson County Child Abuse Lawyers.
We took the emotion out of this case and broke it down to what it was, not what it seemed like. A careful examination of the facts and the law clearly showed that the client did not have the intent to harm the baby and that no harm was actually done. We were fully prepared to take the case to trial but right before jury selection the client agreed to accept a plea deal to a 3 flat. After the client was sentenced, she will be eligible to get out of prison in just a few months. While our Hudson County Child Abuse lawyers were ready to take the case to trial, we understood the client’s position. A few months in prison is much better than spending several years in prison if she was convicted.

Atlantic County DYFS Attorneys win fact finding hearing
I.C.
The Atlantic County DYFS Attorneys of the Law Offices of Jef Henninger, Esq. have helped another client win a fact finding hearing. In an Atlantic County DYFS case, the trial is called a fact finding hearing. At this hearing, an Atlantic County Superior Court Judge will decide if the Title 9 abuse or neglect charges should be substantiated.
In this case, our DYFS attorneys were presented with a number of difficult facts. Many DYFS cases only involve one set of allegations but this case involved three. First, DYFS alleged that our client had committed acts of domestic violence against the mother of the children. Then he is alleged to have choked his daughter and smacked his son. This is classic child abuse but the technical term is excessive corporal punishment. Finally, DYFS also alleged that our client a substance abuse problem.
To many attorneys, this may seem like an impossible case to win since there are three trials in one. However, our Atlantic County DYFS Attorneys know how to fight. We took this case to trial and after the fact finding hearing was over, the judge had indicated that we won the case. Despite DYFS trying three different ways to nail our client, we still won the entire case!
Mercer County DYFS Lawyers help client win fact finding hearing
Y.V.
The facts of this case represent a very common fact pattern that our Mercer County DYFS Lawyers often see. Mom gives birth to a child and at the hospital, it is discovered that mom used drugs while she was pregnant. This can be determined through a number of ways. Sometimes, the mom will admit during prenatal care that she has used drugs during the pregnancy. In other cases, either the mom or the baby will test positive for drugs. Sometimes it is the baby’s Meconium which may be tested by the hospital to check for drug use. Finally, in other cases, the baby may exhibit withdrawal symptoms.
In this case, our Mercer County DYFS Lawyers took the case to trial which is called a fact finding hearing. There, we fought hard for our client and argued that, despite the allegations, DYFS did not have the evidence needed to find that our client had abused or neglected or child. At the conclusion of the trial, the judge found in our favor and the child abuse charges were dismissed.
Our Trenton office is easy to get to from anywhere in Mercer County so call us at 1-855-9JEFLAW (1-855-953-3529) to discuss your case.
New Brunswick DCPP Lawyers win Permanency Hearing in Middlesex County
H.C.
Middlesex County Superior Court
Our New Brunswick DCPP Lawyers have helped a client win a permanency hearing in Middlesex County. In a DCPP case, a permanency hearing is the final hearing in the FN litigation. DYFS will ask the Court to change the plan from reunification to something else such as termination of parental rights. In this case, DYFS was pushing to change the plan but our lawyers fought back! Our New Brunswick DCPP Lawyers helped our client get an extension so that he can continue to demonstrate compliance. If he does that, he will be reunified with his children and the case will be closed. We hope to report that our DYFS lawyers were able to do that for him in the next few months.
Toms River DCPP Attorneys win fact finding hearing in Ocean County Court
K.E.
Ocean County Superior Court
This was a very interesting, yet complex case. The case involves a lot of different players as our client is both a parent to a young child and also a grand parent. Thus, there are two sets of parents in this case. The allegations involved a complex history of incest, sex abuse, kidnapping, drug use, etc. The complaint was rather lengthy and it took some time to unravel the entire story. Our lawyers excel at dealing with complex cases and that’s what we did here. We broke the case down to its individual parts and in the end, a complex case turned out to be a one issue case. We were fully prepared to tear apart the case at the fact finding trial but beforehand, we spoke wot the DYFS DAG. As a result, the fact finding hearing was avoided and the Title 9 child abuse and neglect allegations were thrown out. This was a huge victory and it will help our client fully regain her parental rights.
Hackensack DCPP Lawyers help client regain custody of his child
H.M. Hackensack DYFS (DCPP) case
This client originally hired another lawyer from a firm with a website that is filled with DYFS and other key words. Of course, anyone can hire a company to write such a website. That doesn’t mean that these lawyers have success with DCPP cases. Luckily for the client, he fired this firm shortly after hiring them and hired us. Our Hackensack DCPP lawyers fought the case hard. Even though the judge had already found that the client had a long standing drug addiction, our lawyers were able to get the client his child back. Since he split up with his wife, the judge had to choose between him and the mother and she chose him, our client.

Lawyers win DYFS OAL Appeal for client accused of threatening his children
R.M.
OAL Appeal
In this case, our client was accused of making threats to harm his children. Although these threats were due to mental illness, DYFS still brought him to court. His prior attorney was able to get the case dismissed however, DYFS still substantiated him for child abuse and neglect. As a result, the client needed to file an OAL appeal. Since his prior lawyer didn’t have much DYFS experience, he hired us to make sure the case was dismissed. Recently, we received notice that the finding was reversed and thus, the client has been removed from the database. This was important because although the DYFS case was dismissed, the client still had problems with parenting time due to the finding of abuse and neglect against him. This reversal will help our DYFS lawyers help the client secure a proper parenting time schedule in his divorce case.

Toms River DYFS Lawyers help client regain custody
Our Toms River DYFS Lawyers pulled off a major victory today. Our client had been dealing with DYFS for about two years. She was going to hire us before the case went to court but then decided on another firm. Unfortunately for her, this was the wrong choice. DYFS brought the case to court. As the months went on, her case quickly spiraled out of control. Her parental rights were impacted and all of her parenting time had to be supervised. Eventually, she realized that she made the wrong choice and she hired us. We had a lot of work to do as the case was a mess. The client’s husband was the main one pushing the case. So we had three attorneys in the case working against us. DYFS was pushing for her to go in-patient which would have been a disaster for her case. The judge was a second away from putting her in but we kept it from happening. A few weeks later, we were able to get the entire case dismissed. This is just another example of what our Toms River DYFS Lawyers can do when we fight for our clients.
Cape May DYFS Lawyers Help Client Get Children Back After DODD Removal
Right before Christmas, DYFS took our client’s children from them. Of course, the timing for this couldn’t have been worse. However, our DODD removal lawyers couldn’t have imagined what we were walking into. The client didn’t mention that there were two prior DYFS cases in which the children were removed before. Thus, this was the third time that DYFS removed the children. Clearly, this case was much tougher than what our lawyers first thought. Making the situation even worse is that the judge handling the matter was the emergent duty judge, not the normal DYFS judge. It would have been understandable if this judge, having little to no DYFS experience, would have just kept the children in foster care until we could come back to court at a later date. This really wasn’t looking good.
Our Southern New Jersey DYFS Attorneys never let the pressure get to us. When the facts are tough, we get tougher. We worked with the law guardian and our co-counsel to team up against DYFS. However, Jef Henninger, Esq. Led the charge against DYFS. As a result of Jef’s hard-hitting argument, the judge sided with us and our client was given her children back. This was the day after Christmas, so although it was a little belated, the family was still able to have a great Christmas.

Despite drug use, Hackensack DYFS Lawyers help client get supervision order lifted
M.R
Bergen County
Client’s wife had a serious drug problem but little did DYFS know that our client had a bad drug problem as well. He was ordered to supervise her parenting time. However, he failed some drug tests and then the Bergen County DYFS office would up removing the child all together. Of course, if the client would have hired a lawyer from the start, he may have stayed out of court, but DYFS did bring him to court which is when he hired our law firm. We fought hard to make sure that the client gets parenting time even over the objection of DYFS. Despite his wife’s problems, the judge granted our application for unsupervised parenting time. In fact, we made so much progress that the case could soon be dismissed.
Freehold DYFS Attorney helps client avoid suspension of parenting time due to false positive drug test
John H.
As detailed in the “DYFS Trap” (see above) too many people get caught up with a DYFS problem because they think they have nothing to hide and/or they think that getting a lawyer will make them look guilty. This is one of those cases. The client actually called DYFS and offered to take a drug test to prove that the claims from his ex-wife were ridiculous. Like so many of these stories, it blew up in his face. He failed after eating a poppy seed bagel because the DYFS drug test didn’t use any cut off levels. As a result, he was now looking at losing his parenting time. Luckily, our team of tough, smart Freehold DYFS Lawyers helped the client avoid disaster. We had 48 hours from the time the judge issued her tentative decision to the time of the motion hearing to change things around. We fought hard and worked fast to help make sure the judge changed her mind. It took a lot of work in such a short period of time but by the time we got to court, we were able to get the evidence before the court that showed that the client’s test was a false positive. As a result, the client got his parenting time back.

Morris County DCPP Lawyers help client get parenting time
Steven S.
Morris County
This is one of those tough cases because there were a number of allegations against the family. It started with the child claiming that he was hit by a belt by his father. The mother also admitted to a very severe domestic violence history which is always problematic. Add drug use to that and this could be a very challenging case for most lawyers. Luckily, our client hire our team of tough, smart Morris County DCPP lawyers. The lawyer for DCPP (formerly DYFS) did not want our client to have any parenting time at all. Nevertheless, our lawyers fought hard to make sure that he would be able to spend time with his family. Our lawyers also made sure that he wasn’t subject to a schedule set by DCPP. For some reason, DCPP likes to prevent clients from having parenting time but we never let them get away with that. If the child is with a relative, the schedule should be up to the relative, not DCPP.

Private Title 9 Complaint Dismissed by South Jersey DCPP Lawyers
R.G.
Monmouth County
Our South Jersey DCPP Lawyers were faced with a very contentious case between two divorced parents. Although the father was not a lawyer, he was a law school graduate so he was a unique pro se adversary. Our client, the mother, was alleged to have been engaging in pornography around the children. Not exactly your normal child abuse complaint. The father complained to DCPP (formerly DYFS) but he was shut down. As a result, he filed a Private Title 9 complaint. Such a move is rare, but not unheard of for our firm. In fact, our child abuse defense lawyers have filed these complaints on behalf of our own clients. The father hired expert witness (so he claimed) and he was ready for trial. Luckily, we were ready for this case and at a very lengthy oral argument, the judge granted our motion to dismiss the Title 9 complaint. As a result, our client’s custody rights were not impacted. She remains the parent of primary residence.

Hudson County DYFS Lawyers Help Client Avoid Termination of Parental Rights Trial
Our NJ DYFS Lawyers scored a huge victory in Hudson County this week. This was a case that should have been easily won. In fact, we were just weeks away from winning it earlier this year. The case was almost over. However, the client really screwed up the case by getting back involved with the child’s father after previously saying she would stay away from him. In fact, it was more than just interacting with him, she actually wound up allegedly assaulting him with a car. She then lied to the DYFS case worker on numerous occasions. As a result, we went from almost winning the case to losing the permanency hearing. DYFS filed an FG complaint and they were moving to terminate her parental rights.
Even when it looks like the case is hopeless, our team of tough and aggressive DYFS lawyers never give up. We fought hard to get the client back on track and advocate for her in court. As a result, DYFS dismissed the FG complaint against her. If everything goes well, she should be reunified with her child shortly and the case will be dismissed shortly after that.

Passaic County DYFS Lawyer shuts down DYFS investigation
T.P. And C.P.
Passaic County
This was one of the stranger cases we had been involved in. DYFS wanted to interview the clients but they never returned our calls. Months went by and it seemed like the case was closed. Without any explanation, DYFS filed a complaint against our clients filled with lies not only about our clients but about our firms. As a result, the case got personal. At the first court appearance, one of tough and aggressive Passaic County DYFS lawyers got into a big fight with the attorney for DYFS as well as the judge. We showed everyone that we back down to no one. DYFS wanted to not only interview our clients but interrogate them for a long period of time. We advised everyone that we would advise our clients to take the 5th amendment and the Court actually indicated that same might not apply to a DYFS case! However, by the time DYFS came out to the house that week, what was originally planned to be a huge battle turned out to be a 90 second appearance at the house where the case worker came in and left almost immediately. See, we had one of our attorneys are the house to shut down the interrogation when it started getting ugly. Between that and our performance in court, it became clear that DYFS had backed down. It quickly informed the Court that they would be dismissing their complaint against our clients.

Mercer County DYFS Attorneys help clients shut down DYFS investigation
P.W.
Mercer County
Client was accused of abusing his children to the point where his one son was covered in bruises. Following a brutal custody battle in another state, all parties moved to the New Jersey area. Not content with leaving the custody battle behind her, the ex-wife continued making accusations against the client. However, these accusations were difficult to deal with because the child was picked up after school and was then brought to the police station covered in bruises less than an hour later. The police wanted to interview the client so one of our Mercer County DCPP lawyers went down to the police station to have the client interviewed. The case worker was also present but she was not in the room while the interview was taking place. This is just one of those examples of how close the police are with DYFS. We were able to shut down the police interview in our client’s favor and no charges were ever filed. Our attorneys then turned their attention to DYFS. With the police case shut down, it was only a matter of weeks until the DYFS case was shut down as well.

Somerset County DYFS Attorney helps client defeat child molestation accusations
D.L.
Somerset County
Client was accused of molesting his daughter and was under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office and DYFS. His wife fled New Jersey with the child so we filed an Order to Show Cause to force her to return. The response from DYFS was to file a complaint against the client. We were able to prevent him from being charged with aggravated sexual assault but the DYFS complaint continued. We tried to get the evidence from the Prosecutor’s Office but DYFS would not help us out. It took us several months to get the evidence we requested. When we finally got the evidence, we found that the child initially said nothing happened and then an hour later, she changed her entire story without explanation. Thus, it was clear that the child was coached. At this point, the case was well over six months old. We then hired a great expert who indicated that the child was coached. We then filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and it was granted by the Court thus ending a year long odyssey for the client who had no contact with his daughter throughout the entire case.

Hudson County DYFS Attorney helps client avoid molestation accusations
F.A.
Hudson County
This was a very tough case. Our client was accused of molesting his young daughter. Complicating the matter was that DYFS was involved but not a party to the case. Furthermore, the mother of the child had a very popular and talented attorney. As a result, this case would test everything our office had as everything was stacked against us. However, we don’t back down against anyone. This case was a real team approach as it went on for almost a year and a half. Luckily, the client never lost his resolve to fight and we kept the pressure on the Court, DYFS and the mother. In the end, we were able to show that this accusation was garbage. DYFS’ expert reversed their finding which is almost unheard of. After well over a year of not being able to see his child, visitation started and the client was well on his way to putting these horrible allegations behind him.
