No person chooses to have a Family Law problem. Our firm can not only address your basic and simple family law needs: non-contested divorces, alimony, visitation and other child custody issues; in addition, we can also successfully help you address more complicated matters like Child Protective Services, Criminal Charges related to your children or other children, Personal Protection Orders and any other legal issue relating to a family. Usually our clients are experiencing more than one legal matter at a time. That's why other family law and criminal law firms call us for assistance on these very difficult cases. We understand the impact and interplay that the various legal cases can have on the other. 

When your freedom and the ability to live happily with your children is threatened by an individual or governmental agency, it's imperative to aggressively address the source of the problem.

Unlike other general family law firms, Cannon Law PLC has experience dealing with false allegations. Whether you are dealing with Child Protective Services (CPS), the police, or an individual person, Cannon Law PLC has the tools and proven track record to ensure your life is not destroyed by difficult circumstances or false allegations.

Cannon Law PLC is also equipped to communicate and navigate the difficulties in cases involving allegations of CPS involvement, termination of parental rights, domestic violence, police investigations, child abuse, and neglect allegations. Many of our clients are wrongfully accused by their spouse or the government of abusing their children physically or sexually.

We also understand that the results of your divorce or child custody matter will impact your life and the lives of your children for years to come. You need an attorney who will fight for the best possible outcomes when it comes to custody of your children, parenting time, alimony, child support, and property settlements. 

Because Sonia Cannon previously worked with State agencies including the Michigan Department of Attorney General, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Michigan Department of Corrections, our firm has the experience dealing with the law and has a unique prospective on how these agencies utilize their policies. We understand what a CPS worker or police officer decides could impact the rest of your life. 

Our firm prides itself on providing personal services to our clients. Your case will not be one of many.  We will accept only a limited number of clients.  We understand our clients' desire to overcome their problems is ultimately unquantifiable.

Our commitment is to make sure we arrive at excellent results as quickly as possible while guiding you through your most difficult life moments. Our job is to make things better for you.

"Sonia will go out of her way for the benefit of her clients. She will see to it that justice is served. She is most definitely a shark in a suit. It's amazing to see how highly respected she is when she walks into a courtroom. Sonia has been a blessing to our family." —Rebecca

"I met Sonia over a year ago. She handled my two cases for me. One was a personal protection order obtained under false pretenses and the other was a crazy live in girlfriend who tried to file a personal protection order. I was given prompt attention and she handled both cases very thoroughly." —Anonymous
