Youth protection
OUR DYP TEAM
When a parent asks for help from our lawyers after their child has been removed from their care by the DYP, or because a report was retained, we listen to them carefully. If we ourselves believe that the child would be safer with the parent, then we employ every tool in our legal arsenal to remedy this terrible situation.
There seems to be no end to the number of cases in which our team of youth protection lawyers successfully fought to bring children back home who were taken from their parents without just cause. Our lawyers conduct incisive cross-examinations of DYP intervenors to reveal their poor understanding of the file when that’s the case. We don’t go to Court to make friends.
Our youth protection lawyers have defended families who had their babies removed shortly after their birth, families with young children, even parents of adolescents.
