About Our DYFS Defense Lawyers in Hackensack, Morristown, Newark, NJ

At the Tormey Law Firm LLC, we take on experienced prosecutors every day on behalf of our clients. Whether it be a criminal defense case or a child abuse allegation (or both), our experienced DYFS defense lawyers know how the system works and will fight to protect your rights and your interests every step of the way. In fact, our attorneys have worked on both sides of the criminal justice and family law court systems for years, including an attorney who served as an Assistant County Prosecutor in Morris County, where he prosecuted criminal cases relating to child abuse including Title 9 violations and 2C violations for Endangering the Welfare of a Child. One of our other lawyers began his career working in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Essex County, where he assisted on investigations involving serious criminal charges before turning his attention to criminal defense and working for one of the largest criminal defense firms in the state.

Yet another one of our attorneys spent decades as a former Assistant Prosecutor for the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office in Paterson, New Jersey and the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office in Jersey City, New Jersey. Our team also includes a highly skilled lawyer who has successfully handled extremely complex appeals involving emergent motions and child sexual abuse. He has also successfully argued cases before the New Jersey Appellate Division. Now, we utilize all of our knowledge and experience to defend our clients facing allegations of child abuse, neglect, and the various criminal charges and family court proceedings that emerge in these challenging situations.
