OWI/DUI Lawyer Serving Ypsilanti, Michigan

Serving Ypsilanti Clients

Ypsilanti is home to Eastern Michigan University, and a large student population combined with a busy downtown bar and entertainment district means OWI stops are a routine part of weekend and game-day enforcement here. Whether the client is a student, a visiting parent, or a longtime resident, the same direct attorney access applies — no runaround, no 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. For a student, a suspended license can also mean a scramble to get to class — one more reason to call a defense attorney the same week as a Ypsilanti arrest, not after.

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.
