OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Monroe, Michigan

Serving Monroe Clients

Monroe is the Monroe County seat, a city Attorney Christopher Fleming knows firsthand from running his own general practice there — including criminal defense work ranging from traffic tickets to felonies — before joining the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office. Heavy I-75 corridor traffic between Detroit and Toledo keeps OWI enforcement active in the area, and that local familiarity carries directly into how a Monroe case is handled.

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 Monroe arrest is what protects that window.

Why a Former Prosecutor Matters

More than five years as an Assistant Prosecutor for Lenawee County means direct, firsthand experience with how OWI cases get charged and evaluated across southeast Michigan — how field sobriety tests hold up, how breath and blood test evidence gets challenged, and where the prosecution's case is strongest and weakest.
