Texas Child Protective Services Attorney
Once CPS has determined that a child’s welfare is in danger, the agency has the power to take away your kids and place them in foster care indefinitely. CPS can also initiate termination of your parental rights to permanently separate you from your children. On top of this, you may face criminal allegations of child abuse, child pornography, domestic violence, drug use or other unlawful activity. A conviction for any of these offenses will only give CPS more ammo to keep you away from your children.
Mr. Nelson is a board-certified* criminal defense lawyer who can fight the criminal charges, and he has long experience in family court proceedings and CPS defense. He will do everything in his power to clear your name and defend you against allegations that you are abusive to your child or unfit to be a parent.
CPS cases can last for many months or more than a year. Child Protective Services caseworkers will conduct a home study and subject you and your children to psychological evaluations in an effort to prove their case. Anything you say or do can be used against you.
We understand how scary and heartbreaking this is. Tad Nelson will fight to avoid removal and foster care placement, or work to get visits with your children if at all possible. We help you submit a family plan and present evidence that you are getting your life under control, and we represent you in court to argue why it is not in the best interests of your children to be separated from you.

Thank you Tad Nelson for standing up for me and what is right, Tad Nelson is obviously well known and respected through out the court system as he spoke with authority and precisely to the assistant DA resulting in the dismissal of my case before the case went to trial. Thank you again. if you want it done call Tad Nelson
I hired them a while back for a DWI out in Harris County, they're good and if you need help with any kind of legal matter, give em a call. For a lawyer, Tad has a great personality so working with him should be easier than working with other lawyers.
He is the one lawyer that I can call and put my trust into. We’ve used him a couple of times, once for a family matter and another time for a troubled relative. He’ll help, tell you the truth with no sugar-coating, and will work for his salt. He’s a good guy and when you go to their office, they make you feel at home, like you’re part of the team. Good lawyers and great folks.
I've had the pleasure of working with Tad personally as a technology consultant for him in the past. We've eaten lunch and dinner together. I know that Tad is very dedicated to his clients and cares for them off the clock. He's definitely the lawyer you want on your side.
