Lansing Criminal Defense Lawyer With Deep Local Experience

When you’re facing a legal problem in Lansing, local knowledge matters. Samouris Law Firm provides experienced, responsive legal representation for Lansing residents who need a lawyer they can reach—and trust. With decades of practice in Ingham County courts, you get focused advocacy from an attorney who knows the system and acts quickly.

A Local Lansing Law Firm With a Downtown Presence

I'm based in the Lansing area, with a long-standing commitment to serving the capital city and the surrounding Ingham County communities. This isn't a satellite market for me. It's home court.

That familiarity runs deeper than a single courthouse. Where your case lands depends on where you live:

  • Lansing residents: 54A District Court
  • East Lansing residents: 54B District Court
  • Everywhere else in Ingham County: 55th District Court in Mason
  • Felony cases countywide: 30th Circuit Court

Decades of appearing in front of these same judges and prosecutors means your case is handled by someone who already knows the players, not someone learning the courthouse as they go.

Family Law for Lansing Families

A divorce or custody dispute can feel just as high-stakes as a criminal charge, and I treat it that way. I handle divorce filings, from uncontested separations to disputes over property and support, and build custody arrangements around what actually works for your family's schedule and your kids. Child support matters get the same direct attention, calculated and adjusted as your circumstances change. Every family law client gets the same personal involvement I bring to a criminal case, because the outcome matters just as much.
