If we have helped you, we would be honored by your review.

When a neglect petition is filed in Suffolk County Family Court, it means Child Protective Services believes a child has been harmed or is at risk. The court holds an initial appearance where parents are informed of the allegations and their rights. The next steps may include temporary custody orders or supervised visits. These cases are serious — and can move fast. Contact Steve Zalewski in Islandia to protect your rights and your family from the start.
