Flint Criminal Defense Attorney
If you're facing criminal charges or a family law matter in Flint, you get direct access to a Michigan attorney with over 30 years of courtroom experience in Genesee County, not a call center or a rotating cast of associates.
An arrest doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do I. Every case that comes out of Flint, whether it's a DUI stop on I-75, a drug charge, or a divorce that's turned contentious, gets my direct attention from the first phone call to the final resolution. You won't be handed off to a case manager or an associate you've never met.
I Know Genesee County's Courts Because I've Been Standing in Them for 30 Years
Local knowledge matters when your freedom or your family is on the line. I've appeared before Genesee County's 7th Circuit Court for felony matters and the 67th District Court for misdemeanors, arraignments, and preliminary exams, so I walk into your case already knowing the prosecutors, the judges, and how Flint courtrooms actually run. That familiarity shapes how I build your defense from day one, not something I figure out after your case is already filed.
Criminal Defense for Flint and Genesee County
I handle the full range of criminal matters for clients in Flint and across Genesee County, with a focus on the charges that carry the heaviest consequences if they're handled wrong.
- DUI and OWI defense, including breath test and field sobriety challenges
- Drug crime charges, from possession to distribution
- Weapons and firearms offenses
- Sex crime allegations, where reputation and stakes are highest
- CPS defense for parents facing child welfare investigations
- Expungement for Michigan residents with eligible prior convictions
My approach to
criminal defense starts the same way for every client: a direct conversation with me about what happened, what the prosecution has to prove, and where the case can be challenged.
What to Do After an Arrest in Flint
01
Step 1:
Stay silent until I'm on the phone.
Anything said to Flint or Genesee County police can be used against you. You have the right to wait for counsel before answering questions.
02
Step 2:
Call me directly, day or night.
I take calls 24/7 for arrests and legal emergencies. You'll reach me, not a service that takes a message.
03
Step 3:
I review the charge and the arrest itself.
Before your arraignment, I look at how the stop, search, or investigation was conducted. Procedural mistakes by police often open the door to a stronger defense.
04
Step 4:
We build your defense together.
I walk you through what to expect at each stage, from arraignment through resolution, so you're never guessing what happens next.

Family Law Help for Flint Families
Criminal charges aren't the only reason Flint residents call me. Divorce, custody disputes, and child support fights bring their own kind of stress, and they deserve the same direct, personal attention. I handle contested and uncontested divorces, custody arrangements built around what actually works for your kids' schedules, and support calculations that hold up when circumstances change. If you're navigating a
family law matter in Flint or anywhere in Genesee County, you talk to me from the first call, not a paralegal fielding intake questions.
Flint Criminal Defense Questions, Answered
Do I need a lawyer for a DUI in Flint, Michigan?
Yes. A DUI conviction in Michigan carries license consequences, fines, and potential jail time even for a first offense, and the details of your stop, testing, and arrest often determine whether the charge holds up. An attorney familiar with Genesee County's courts can identify where the case is weakest before you plead to anything.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost in Flint?
Cost depends on the charge, the complexity of the evidence, and how far the case goes before resolution. The clearest way to get a real number for your situation is a direct conversation, which is why I take consultation calls 24/7 rather than making you wait to find out where you stand.
Who is the best criminal defense attorney in Flint, Michigan?
The right attorney for you is one who knows Genesee County's courts and gives you direct access throughout your case. I've spent over 30 years in Michigan courtrooms, including matters in Flint, and every client works with me personally rather than being routed through associates.
What happens at my first court appearance after an arrest in Flint?
Most cases start with an arraignment at the 67th District Court, where charges are formally read and bond is addressed. Having an attorney present, or reachable beforehand, helps make sure you don't say something at this stage that complicates your defense later.
