I am a social work expert witness for both plaintiff and defense (licensed in Massachusetts and serving as an expert nationwide). 
I will review your case, identify what happened, what should have happened and why it did not. Did a social worker fail to meet the standard of care or can the case be understood in terms of the resources and complex systems in which it occurred?  
Children's services has been the focus of my clinical social work career. Outpatient mental health settings, the schools, and especially state child protection agencies can be a minefield for social workers. 
It is because multiple agencies are so often involved in children’s services that my more than forty years of experience in multiple settings and ability to formulate what happened in a case can be valuable to you. Because I am also a writer, I know how to present a case to the judge or jury. Most of the time, my report is less than three pages in length.  
State child protection (DCF) records are an invaluable source of information if you know what to look for and how to read these records. I am convinced that the records of many clients who have grown up in the foster care system should be reviewed for mitigating circumstances and potential information by a professional social worker.
