What Types of Cases Do We Handle in Wayne County?

Our practice is dedicated exclusively to DUI, criminal defense, and driver’s license restoration. We know the local courts, judges, and procedures throughout Wayne County, and we use that knowledge to protect your rights and pursue the best possible outcome.

DUI and OWI Defense in Wayne County

If you’ve been arrested for drunk or drugged driving in Wayne County, you need a defense attorney who understands both the legal and personal aspects of your situation. We’ve helped thousands of clients across the Greater-Detroit area avoid jail, retain their driving privileges, and rebuild their lives.

We handle all DUI-related charges, including:

  • First-Offense OWI
  • Second Offense DUI
  • Third Offense DUI (Felony)
  • High BAC (“Super Drunk”) Charges
  • DUI cases involving accidents or injuries

We also represent clients facing probation violations, license suspensions, and ignition interlock device issues.

What sets our DUI practice apart is our recovery-based approach. Most first-time offenders do not have a drinking problem—and we know how to protect them from being treated as if they do, avoiding unnecessary counseling, testing, and treatment requirements that don’t fit the situation. For clients who are dealing with a substance use issue, we help turn their recovery efforts into a strength within the case, demonstrating to the court that they’re taking meaningful steps. Either way, we focus on the whole person—not just the legal charge.

Criminal Defense for Misdemeanors and Felonies in Wayne County

Being charged with a crime in Wayne County is serious, but it doesn’t have to define your future. We defend clients in all the district courts throughout the county and in the Wayne County Circuit Court.

We represent clients charged with:

We also assist with expungements under Michigan’s Clean Slate Law, helping eligible clients clear their records and move forward.

Driver’s License Restoration Services

If your license has been revoked due to multiple DUI convictions, we can help you navigate the complex license appeal process with the Michigan Department of State’s Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight (OHAO). Our firm has a strong track record of success in these cases, and we guarantee to win every restoration and clearance appeal we take.

We assist with:

  • Driver’s License Restoration after Revocation
  • Clearance of Michigan Holds for Out-of-State Residents
  • OHAO Hearings (Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight)
  • Breathalyzer (BAIID) Violations
  • Substance Use Evaluations and Letters of Support

We understand what hearing officers expect. Our team prepares every case thoroughly and honestly to give you the best chance of success. The OHAO hearing process is the same regardless of where you live—hearing officers are assigned randomly statewide, and all hearings are conducted via video conference.

Deep Roots in Wayne County’s Courts

Wayne County has 25 district and municipal courts, each with its own procedures, policies, and personalities. A DUI handled in the 35th District Court in Plymouth may play out very differently from one in the 36th District Court in Detroit, even though both fall under the same county. Our attorneys know these differences because we appear in these courtrooms regularly—it’s why clients across Metro-Detroit and the Tri-County area trust us with their cases. Felony cases are handled in the Wayne County Circuit Court, where familiarity with the judges and prosecutors matters just as much as knowing the law.

Whether your case involves a traffic stop in Livonia, a probation issue in Woodhaven, or an arrest outside Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, we know how to navigate the local system effectively and use that knowledge to your advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Services in Wayne County

What should I do if I’ve been arrested in Wayne County?

Exercise your right to remain silent and ask for an attorney immediately. Do not answer questions from police beyond basic identifying information. Do not agree to a recorded statement. Contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible—the hours and days after an arrest are critical for preserving evidence and protecting your rights.

Can I get my license back after multiple DUIs?

Yes, but it requires going through a formal license restoration appeal with the Michigan Department of State’s OHAO. The process is the same regardless of where you live—hearing officers are assigned randomly statewide, and all hearings are conducted via video conference. You must demonstrate sustained sobriety by clear and convincing evidence. Our firm has extensive experience in these cases and a strong success rate for clients across Michigan.

Can a DUI conviction be expunged in Michigan? 

Michigan’s Clean Slate Law allows certain first-and-only OWI convictions to be expunged. You must wait at least five years after completing your sentence, including probation, any jail term, and license suspension. The offense cannot have involved injury or death. The process requires filing a petition with the court. An attorney can help you determine whether you qualify and build the strongest possible case for the judge.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We offer free consultations and flat-fee pricing for most cases. You’ll know the cost upfront, with no hidden fees or surprises.

Do you offer virtual consultations for Wayne County clients?

Yes. We provide phone, video, and in-person appointments to make it easy for you to get the legal help you need, wherever you are in Wayne County.
