Defending You Against Child Abuse Charges

If you have recently been alerted that you are under investigation by Children's Protective Services (CPS), you have a narrow window of opportunity to take action before a possible intervention. Even if your children have already been removed, you have legal options and an Oakland County criminal defense attorney from Long Law PLLC can advise you of your rights. We know how frustrated and worried you may feel about this situation, and we will fight to help you protect the stability of your family. Effective action now could turn the situation around so that you can get your family life back on track.

Evidence of any type of mistreatment, emotional abuse, intentional physical harm or sexual abuse can lead to an arrest for child abuse. Certain categories of people are required by law to make a report if they have suspicion that abuse is occurring, including physicians, dentists, teachers, clergy and child care providers. In addition to being threatened with having your children removed by CPS, you may also face criminal charges for child abuse. The penalty will depend on the severity of the alleged abuse, but it can include being sent to jail or prison.
