OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Dearborn, Michigan

Serving Dearborn Clients

Dearborn OWI/DUI cases are arraigned at the 19th District Court, 16077 Michigan Avenue — a stretch that runs past Fairlane Town Center and the Ford Motor Company world headquarters and carries some of the heaviest traffic volume in Wayne County. That congestion, plus weekend activity near Greenfield Village and the Southfield Freeway interchange, keeps OWI stops a routine part of local enforcement. An out-of-town client, about an hour from our Blissfield office, gets the same thing a local one does: direct access to the attorney handling the case, not a rotating cast of associates.

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 a Dearborn 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 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 the 19th District Court or closer to home.
