What is the 52-1 District Court?

Located in Novi, the 52-1 District Court is the criminal misdemeanor court for Novi, South Lyon, Wixom, Walled Lake, Milford, Highland, Commerce Township, Lyon Township, and Wolverine Lake.  In addition to misdemeanor cases, the Novi Court handled most felony cases that arise from its jurisdiction. The 52-1 District Court is presided over by three judges, Judge David Law, Judge Travis Reeds, and Judge Robert Bondy.  Having practiced with all three judges throughout the years, including prior to their appointments and election to office, we are very familiar with their different personalities.

52-1 Felonies

Practicing felony criminal defense in the Novi Court can be a tricky affair. All three judges are very different in their approaches and a knowledge of their protocol and procedure is key to a successful defense. Having preliminary examinations is very important to your defense and none of the Novi Judges will punish you for conducting an exam. However, there is a thin line of patience with these judges, so your lawyer needs to come to court prepared at the first probable cause conference ready to fight. We are criminal defense attorneys with vast experience handling serious criminal cases in Oakland County. Give us a call today to talk about your case.
