Child Welfare
If you are facing a child welfare investigation or protective proceedings by the Department of Health and Human Services, swift and experienced legal representation is critical. Attorney Michael B. Brown defends parents and families in child welfare cases to protect their rights and keep families together.
Child welfare cases, often involving the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), can be among the most stressful and intimidating experiences a parent can face. These matters typically begin with allegations of neglect or abuse and can quickly escalate into court proceedings that threaten parental rights and the unity of the family.
In child welfare cases, the court’s focus is on the safety and well-being of the child. Parents must navigate complex requirements, including participating in parenting classes, substance abuse treatment, psychological evaluations, and supervised parenting time. Successfully resolving these cases requires a thorough understanding of the process, strong advocacy, and the ability to work effectively with caseworkers, guardians ad litem, and the court.
Attorney Michael B. Brown provides experienced and compassionate representation to parents and caregivers involved in child welfare investigations and proceedings. He works diligently to challenge unsupported allegations, ensure compliance with court requirements, and advocate for reunification or other appropriate resolutions that keep families intact whenever possible.
If your family is currently involved in a child welfare case or you have received notice of an investigation, prompt legal guidance is essential. Contact the Law Office of Michael B.
