HOUSTON, November 2, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ramos Law Group, a Texas-based family law firm, has expanded its legal services to include a dedicated Child Welfare practice. This new initiative aims to support parents, grandparents, and other relatives involved in Child Protective Services (CPS) investigations and cases brought by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
The firm has appointed Bobbie Young, R.N., J.D., who is Board Certified in Child Welfare Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, to lead this new practice. Young brings a unique blend of legal and medical expertise to the role, which will be crucial in navigating the complexities of CPS cases.
According to Mary E. Ramos, the owner of Ramos Law Group and Board Certified in Family Law, the decision to launch this practice is deeply personal.
Child welfare law is often described as one of the most underserved areas of legal practice in Texas. A CPS case can move quickly, and decisions made in the first days, often before a parent has spoken with a lawyer, can shape the outcome for months or years. Many families face an investigation, a removal, or a service plan without understanding their rights or what is being asked of them. Ramos Law Group has created this practice to ensure that families have experienced, board-certified counsel to guide them from the start.
Bobbie Young's background as a registered nurse allows her to review medical records, injury findings, and medical neglect allegations with a clinical eye. This advantage is particularly important in cases that turn on medical evidence. In addition to handling child welfare matters, Young will also manage divorce and family law cases at the firm.
The Child Welfare practice at Ramos Law Group will represent parents, grandparents, and other relatives across the Greater Houston area in various matters, including CPS investigations and safety plans, removal hearings and emergency custody proceedings, service plans and reunification, representation in termination of parental rights cases, and kinship placement for grandparents and relatives caring for children. The practice will also handle cases involving medical neglect or medically complex children.
Ramos Law Group, PLLC, is a Texas family law firm led by Mary E. Ramos, who is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. The firm handles divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, and now child welfare matters, with offices in Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and Dallas, serving clients across Texas.
The launch of the Child Welfare practice underscores Ramos Law Group's commitment to providing comprehensive legal support to families facing the challenges of CPS investigations. With Young at the helm, the firm aims to ensure that parents, grandparents, and other relatives have the legal representation they need to protect their children and their families.
