OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Ann Arbor, Michigan
A drunk-driving arrest near Washtenaw County's biggest city moves fast — and the license consequences start well before your first court date. Get former-prosecutor insight from the first phone call.
Serving Ann Arbor Clients
Ann Arbor is about 45 minutes north of our Blissfield office — close enough that an Ann Arbor OWI/DUI client gets the same direct attorney access as someone walking in the front door. A large student population, a busy downtown, and heavy weekend traffic around campus mean OWI stops and arrests are common here, and the Washtenaw County court system moves them through on its own schedule regardless of where you live.
Why Speed Matters
Michigan's implied consent law gives you a short window — as little as 14 days — to request a hearing challenging an automatic license suspension after a breath test refusal or failure. That clock starts running immediately after arrest, not after your arraignment. Calling a defense attorney the same week as an Ann Arbor arrest, rather than waiting, is what protects that window.
Why a Former Prosecutor Matters
Attorney Christopher Fleming spent more than five years as an Assistant Prosecutor for Lenawee County, evaluating cases the same way prosecutors across Michigan's court system do — including how field sobriety tests hold up and where breath and blood test evidence is strongest and weakest. That insight shapes defense strategy from the first conversation, whether the case is in Washtenaw County or closer to home.
