CYS nightmare

I, unfortunately was dealing with a horrific situation with CYS. They were a nightmare to deal with for several months and forced me into signing paperwork with the threat of taking my kids from me, even after doing everything that was asked of me. Once having a consult with Erin Kraska, there was no... question in my mind I needed to hire her. Due to her past as a prosecutor and working with numerous cases involving CYS, she had an abundance of knowledge and experience. As soon as they (cys) were notified that she was representing me, they immediately withdrew their court petition and came to lift my “safety plan”. A month later, and I’m now closed out with their agency completely. Erin kept me updated throughout the whole process and truly made a huge difference, without her they would probably still be taking advantage of me and threatening to tear my family apart EVEN THOUGH I did everything they asked and cooperated. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her, especially for a cys matter, it’s truly truly worth it.

Family lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Co-worker

"Attorney Kraska is an outstanding attorney in both family law and criminal defense. There is no doubt that her years of experience as a prosecutor are a great asset to her now as a criminal defense attorney, BUT, has also transformed her into a great family law attorney. She has taken her experience working with victims and victim advocates and used that to her advantage in her family law practice. Furthermore, her years practice in child abuse also has now helped her to advocate on behalf of parents in Children and Youth Services matters as well. As you can see Erin is well rounded and any client would be lucky to have her as their attorney!"
