Has CPS intervened with your family? The next 24 hours are critical.
When the State Steps In, We Step Up.
We know the sheer terror and confusion that comes when the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) removes your children or launches an investigation.
Right now, the state is already building its case against you. By law, the court must hold a preliminary hearing within 24 hours of a removal. You cannot afford to wait, and you cannot afford to face the government alone.
You need an insider.
The child welfare system is a massive bureaucracy with invisible rules. As a former Chief of Operations for the Michigan Attorney General, Veneshia P. Cezil knows exactly how the government operates from the inside. We don't guess at the state's playbook—we anticipate it, hold caseworkers strictly accountable to the law, and fight aggressively to keep your family together.
What you need to do right now:
Do not sign any service plans.
1
Or speak to CPS investigators without an attorney present.
Gather your documents.
2
Find the petition or any paperwork the caseworker left with you.
Request an Emergency Consultation.

Child welfare cases are governed by strict, ticking clocks. Please fill out this brief, secure form so we can run a mandatory legal conflict check and get you on our calendar immediately. Your information is strictly confidential.
