OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Westland, Michigan

Serving Westland Clients

Westland is a dense, heavily residential and commercial city along the Wayne Road and Ford Road corridors, a little over an hour from our Blissfield office. OWI/DUI cases here are heard in the 18th District Court, which moves its own docket regardless of where the client lives — meaning early, direct legal guidance matters just as much for a Westland arrest as a local one.

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 Westland 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 18th District Court or closer to home.
