The Sixth Amendment, does it apply to a CPS investigation?

 The Sixth Amendment guarantees individuals the right to legal counsel. This right applies to CPS investigations, particularly if the case progresses to court. In my case my counsel has been ineffective. I've had three hearings and 3 different public defenders. Not once have any objections been r2paised for me. One of those lawyers also assisted in filing a retaliatory eviction against me suing me for $15,000 in damages that do not exist and per diem for each day in the home since Feb 05, 2023 despite rent being paid. I had to file my own motion to remove him from my case. I was surprised the judge addressed the motion as he failed to address any of my constitutional claims in a separate motion I filed. 

The Sixth Amendment provides the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses. In the context of CPS investigations, this right becomes relevant if the case proceeds to a hearing or trial. It allows you to challenge the credibility of witnesses and present counter-evidence to support your case. I've never seen anyone take a case to trial. Nor have I ever heard of CPS disclosing information like this. In fact I've never heard of anyone's lawyers in these types of cases actually requesting discovery. I know none of mine have. 

If your CPS case reaches the stage of a trial, the Sixth Amendment ensures your right to an impartial jury. This means that the jury should consist of individuals who are unbiased and have no preconceived notions about your case. The selection process should adhere to established rules to ensure a fair and unbiased trial.

The Sixth Amendment is supposed to safeguard individuals' rights during CPS investigations and subsequent legal proceedings. Understanding these rights and how to enforce them is a challenging issue many have no knowledge of. If you are dealing with CPS it is advisable to consult an attorney experienced in family law to navigate the legal complexities and ensure that your rights are protected. If you can't find a good attorney, I recommend educating yourself of these processes. It's complicated no doubt but we do have rights and it's up to us to exercise those rights.
