Dear Friends:

There is no one - and I really mean no one - who understands CPS like Suzanne Shell. Reading her book, Profane Justice, is like exploring a great treasure. I have stood in court hearings maybe 200 times, and still don't know all that she has figured out by research, intuition, and inspiration. Every day, I stake my law practice on her being right, and she invariably is.

Gregory A. Hession, Attorney at Law, MA

Topics Covered

• History of Child Protection Services and outcomes

Ms. Shell reserves the right to refuse attendance to anyone for any reason.

This information will remain confidential and in the sole custody of AFAC in the event it is needed to protect Ms. Shell against any further retaliation or malicious prosecution by the state of Colorado.
