 Challenging Indicated Reports

If you've been indicated by Child Protective Services (CPS), your name may be listed on the State Central Register (SCR)—a record that can affect your ability to work, especially in positions involving children or vulnerable populations. This includes careers in education, healthcare, daycare, foster care, and other licensed fields. An indicated report can surface in background checks and prevent you from being hired or maintaining your professional license.

At The Doran Firm, PLLC, we represent clients in Fair Hearings—a formal process that allows you to challenge the CPS findings. We prepare your case, gather supporting evidence, and challenge the evidence against you to pursue an amendment or sealing of the report. Whether you're a teacher, nurse, social worker, or caregiver, we understand how much is on the line, and we’re here to protect your rights, your record, and your future.
