As a childcare provider, few things are worse than an allegation that a child has been injured while in your care.  County Social Services or the Minnesota Department of Human Services can unilaterally shut down your daycare with little explanation on the basis of mere allegations.  In such situations, Goetz & Eckland will provide a zealous defense while working to ensure the continued operation of your business. 

Our lawyers have successfully represented dozens of childcare providers, and we have the experience to handle your case at any level—administrative hearings, district court trials, and the Court of Appeals.  We have successfully overturned Temporary Immediate Suspensions, Disqualifications, Revocations, Maltreatment and Neglect Determinations, and we have successfully defended providers against personal injury claims.  We know the twists and turns of the administrative licensing process.  We understand the complicated relationship between the County Attorney, County Social Services, and the Department of Human Services, and we can work it to your advantage. 

Childcare providers are small business owners.  We recognize the impact that a claim can have against your business, and we work efficiently and expediently to resolve all issues in order to minimize the financial impact that a claim can have.
