About Tiffany
Tiffany DeBruin built her legal foundation in Ohio. She earned a B.B.A. in Business from Malone College and went on to law school at Capital University Law School, receiving her J.D. in 2006. Those years laid the groundwork for a practice that has spanned public service and private work across two states.
After law school she moved into public-sector work. In 2007 she served as a staff lawyer for Franklin County Children Services. That role put her inside the child welfare system, handling the kinds of protective-care and dependency matters that require both legal precision and an understanding of family dynamics.
She later transitioned to private practice. Since 2011 she has practiced at DeBruin Law PLLC, where she has taken on cases that draw on her earlier public-service experience. Her career path shows continuity: early work on behalf of a government agency and years of courtroom and client work thereafter. She is licensed to practice in both Ohio and Michigan.
Collegial involvement has been part of her professional life. She has been a member of the Ingham County Bar Association since 2011. That local bar participation sits alongside the day-to-day demands of running files and representing clients in matters that touch families and children.
Clients and colleagues describe her as steady under pressure and pragmatic in approach. She handles procedural work in juvenile and family settings and manages contested matters that arise from child welfare cases. Her background in agency practice informs how she prepares pleadings, evaluates risk, and communicates with stakeholders, including social-service professionals and court personnel.
Her work mixes courtroom appearances with counseling clients through difficult decisions. She draws on business training from her undergraduate degree when assessing settlements and structuring representation. The result is a practice that moves between advocacy in court and practical problem solving outside it.
She currently practices at DeBruin Law PLLC, focusing on family and juvenile matters.
