If informed that surgery is needed to remove a tumor, the patient would not go home and start rummaging through kitchen knives and commence a self-service operation. Obviously this procedure is best left to the skilled hands of a professional physician. The same principle exists when a family desires to have a criminal case dismissed or defended. This is not the time to do it yourself.
The law firm of Stuckle & Ferguson is well versed and experienced with all aspects of criminal case and can vigorously represent you at any stage from investigation through trial.

Filed Under Fighting Child Protective Services (CPS)
COPYRIGHT © 2005 PAUL G. STUCKLE
Many parents find themselves overwhelmed when contacted by CPS and for good reason. CPS investigators and caseworkers are able to manipulate parents through fear and intimidation, making the innocent parent feels helpless. CPS has the legal power to take children away from their parents. Under these circumstances parents who are not aware of the underhanded nature, shoddy investigative techniques, and financial motivations of CPS readily sign safety plans, service plans, allow CPS into their homes, submit to interviews, and essentially do anything the CPS investigator asks. The innocent parent naively believes that by doing what CPS wants they will be left alone.
The parent soon finds out they were wrong.

(A Judge’s response when asked what it takes to convict someone of child molestation.)
Nothing incites the fury and anger of any community like the discovery of a reported child molester in the neighborhood. Unfortunately no charge is easier to make against an innocent person and more difficult to disprove. The word of a child, whether mistaken, coached, or the result of a deliberate lie, is all that it takes to ruin lives.
The law firm of Stuckle & Ferguson is well aware of the relative ease in which a false allegation of child sexual assault can be made. False Allegations arise under a multitude of circumstances from children of any age and in every socioeconomic group.
Sometimes allegations are made by children with a goal of removing a family member from the home. Sometimes a false allegation is made by a young child who does not understand the gravity and consequences of their words. Often questionable remarks by children are misinterpreted by frantic family members and evolve into allegations by over zealous social workers. False Allegations are often made by emotionally disturbed adolescents with a specific agenda to hurt someone. Spouses, and former spouses may also use a false allegation in a divorce or custody battle to seek legal leverage.
Whatever the reason behind the allegation the law firm of Stuckle & Ferguson are there to uncover the truth and open the eyes of a system, which would rather keep them them shut. We have many years of experience in demonstrating these ulterior motives and bringing justice to those falsely accused.

The criminal justice system is a great mystery to those who are not familiar with its inner working. Simply, there is a right way and wrong way to get things accomplished. The family finding itself facing an accusation does not understand how to approach the system. Common sense and justice, thought to be inherent in the system, does not exist. Rather the criminal justice system is more concerned with power, statistics, and numbers.
