Because we are well known criminal defense lawyers in southeast Michigan, we frequently end up handling cases in Livingston County. The Livingston County Circuit Court, located on the outskirts of Howell, is as unique a court as you will ever experience. It is first and foremost a country court, with the prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges practicing together every single day. Unlike the bigger courts of Oakland and Wayne, this closeness adds a different dynamic. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but other times, these close relationships may cause more pleas rather than trials.
