You can always appeal a DCF decision, and many people do this once they receive a Connecticut DCF substantiation finding. The Connecticut DCF appeal process allows you to call witnesses and take the DCF to task to satisfy their burden of proof in substantiating their allegations, a far cry from the DCF investigation process where you do not have right to confront your accusers, present evidence, or offer any testimony to an impartial judge or arbitrator. So if you are interested in appealing your DCF investigation, contact a top Connecticut DCF appeal lawyer as soon as possible (as there are time deadlines to timely file an appeal).
