About the Book

In " When the State Knocks," veteran attorney Michael H. Agranoff draws from his three decades of legal experience to expose the alarming reality many parents face when confronted by Child Protective Services. Through compelling real-life cases from his own practice, Agranoff demonstrates how ordinary families-regardless of social standing or community reputation-can suddenly find themselves entangled in the CPS system, often with devastating consequences.

With unflinching honesty, Agranoff reveals how well-intentioned child protection laws can lead to government overreach, tearing apart families based on flimsy evidence, misunderstandings, or bureaucratic inertia. This eye-opening account details how social workers, psychologists, and family court judges wield extraordinary power over family life, often with minimal oversight or accountability.

More than just a critique, " When the State Knocks" provides practical, actionable advice for parents facing CPS investigations. Agranoff outlines concrete strategies for responding to allegations, navigating psychological evaluations, dealing with court-appointed attorneys, and preserving family unity in the face of a system that can sometimes seem designed to tear families apart.

The book also examines concerning trends that could further erode parental rights, including the possible future licensing of parents-a sobering prospect that Agranoff argues would fundamentally transform the relationship between families and the state.

Written in accessible language with occasional touches of humor, this essential guide serves as both a warning and a roadmap for all parents who believe that raising children is primarily their responsibility, not the government's. Agranoff's passionate defense of family autonomy and parental rights offers insight and hope to those caught in what can feel like an unwinnable battle against an all-powerful system.
