OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Canton, Michigan

Serving Canton Township Clients

Canton Township's heaviest retail and restaurant traffic runs along Ford Road and Cherry Hill Road, near the Ikea and the Summit on the Park corridor — stretches that see steady weekend OWI enforcement. Cases from Canton are arraigned at the 35th District Court, 660 Plymouth Road in neighboring Plymouth, roughly an hour and fifteen minutes from our Blissfield office. That court also covers Plymouth and Northville, so it runs a busy docket 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.
