Riverside Criminal Attorney & Former Prosecutor: (951) 682-5110
Have you been charged with
murder,
manslaughter, or
child abuse for causing a child to suffer shaken baby syndrome? Please contact a Riverside
criminal lawyer at Blumenthal Law Offices as soon as possible for
a no-charge consultation.
We have successfully defended many clients who were accused of causing
shaken baby syndrome in children. We understand the legal and medical
issues involved and know how to construct a solid defense for our clients.
Why You Need a Lawyer
If possible, please consult with one of our experienced criminal defense
attorneys before speaking to police or Child Protective Services (CPS)
workers or even doctors. The authorities ask misleading questions designed
to elicit answers that can be damaging to you. Parents and caretakers
whose only concern is the health of the child often say things that can
be twisted and used against them or taken out of context. They can quickly
find themselves charged with a crime and fighting to retain custody of
their child.
This is how our attorney can help you:
- Investigate to find additional evidence
- Consult experts to reevaluate whether the baby suffered from SBS
- Push for a lesser charge
About Shaken Baby Syndrome
Doctors who find retinal hemorrhages and subdural hematomas (bleeding between
the brain and the skull) in a child are likely to diagnose the condition
as shaken baby syndrome unless the child was in a car accident or fell
from a height of greater than six feet. There is a persistent but erroneous
belief in the medical community that these symptoms can only be caused
by violent shaking of a child, car accidents, and falls from great height.
Our attorneys will call on medical experts to prove otherwise.
For effective and experienced defense of all charges related to shaken
baby syndrome, you can rely on our experienced attorneys of Blumenthal
Law Offices. We can review the details of your charges and advise you
on how to proceed with your case.
