CPS Defense Attorney in San Antonio
A call from CPS can flip your life upside down. One day you’re parenting like always—the next, you’re facing accusations that threaten your home, your reputation, and your kids’ future. These cases move fast, and the wrong move early on can cost you everything.
At Brandi Wolfe Law, we defend parents and caregivers against CPS investigations and removals in Bexar County. We know the system, and we don’t let our clients get steamrolled.
What Happens When CPS Gets Involved?
Child Protective Services investigates reports of abuse or neglect. Sometimes the concerns are legitimate. Sometimes they’re exaggerated, misinformed, or completely false.
Once a report is made, CPS may:
- Show up at your home for an unannounced visit
- Interview your children without you present
- Ask you to sign a safety plan
- File a case with the court
- Try to remove your children temporarily or permanently
You have the right to an attorney at every stage—and the earlier you call, the more we can do to protect your rights.
How We Handle CPS Cases
We take these cases personally because we know how much damage a CPS investigation can cause. Our job is to keep you informed, prepared, and in control.
We help you:
- Respond appropriately to investigators
- Avoid signing agreements that hurt your case
- Push back against wrongful removals
- Gather evidence and witness testimony
- Navigate court hearings with confidence
- Work toward reunification if removal has already happened
In many cases, CPS involvement overlaps with custody disputes or grandparents stepping in. We make sure your entire legal situation is addressed—not just the CPS piece.
What CPS Won’t Tell You
CPS is not your lawyer. They won’t explain your options or tell you when your rights are at risk. That’s our job. We’ve seen good parents get bullied into signing away custody or agreeing to restrictions they didn’t understand. We’ve also seen people clear their names and get their families back—with the right defense.

Don’t Wait for It to Get Worse
CPS won’t wait for you to get ready. If you’ve been contacted, investigated, or served papers, talk to a lawyer immediately. We’ll help you take control before decisions are made without you.
