Child Abuse in Michigan

When Everything Is on the Line — We Step In.

Few charges carry the weight, shame, and emotional devastation of being accused of child abuse. These allegations strike at the very heart of who you are — as a parent, a caregiver, or simply a trusted adult. At Avanti Law, we understand that being accused does not mean you are guilty. And we know just how high the stakes are.

A child abuse charge in Michigan can mean not only criminal record and penalties, but also the loss of custody, visitation, employment, and your reputation and standing in the community. The system often reacts harshly and quickly — sometimes without the full story.

That’s where we come in.
