Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois

seeking legal advice on suing DCFS in Knox County, Illinois

Last year, my wife and I were involved in a DCFS case in Knox County, Illinois.

My children were wrongfully taken out of my home due to false allegations of child abuse and neglect. We have all the paperwork that shows contradictions, blatant lies and cover-ups.

I am seeking legal advice on suing them, as I feel they did not properly do their job, and had a more personal agenda to the case.

Hello. DCFS is a State of Illinois agency,

therefore you would have to file a claim with

the Illinois Court of Claims. The State of

Illinois cannot be sued in the Circuit Court

system; only through the Court of Claims. I

will be happy to answer any additional questions

that you might have.
