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

In New York, CPS (Child Protective Services) handles child neglect and abuse cases outside New York City, including Suffolk County. ACS (Administration for Children’s Services) does the same work within New York City’s five boroughs. Both investigate allegations involving children’s safety, but the process and local courts differ. On Long Island, CPS reports go through Suffolk County Family Court.

If CPS has contacted you in Suffolk County, call Steven Zalewski, Esq. in Islandia before speaking to an investigator.
