OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Canton, Michigan

Serving Canton Township Clients

Canton Township is one of the larger suburban communities along the I-275/M-14 corridor, roughly an hour and a quarter from our Blissfield office. OWI/DUI cases from Canton are heard in the 35th District Court in Plymouth, which handles the caseload for both communities — a court that moves cases on its own timeline regardless of where the client lives.

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 in Plymouth. Calling a defense attorney the same week as a Canton arrest 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 do statewide — 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 the 35th District Court or closer to home.
