Mount Clemens Criminal Defense LawyerCharged in Mount Clemens? I know this courthouse.
Mount Clemens is the seat of Macomb County justice — every felony charged anywhere in the county is tried at the 16th Circuit Court downtown. I prosecuted in this courthouse. Now I defend people in it.
Where your case is heard
41-B District Court — and what happens next
Mount Clemens misdemeanors and the early stages of its felonies are handled by the 41-B District Court, which sits just up the road in Clinton Township. Once a felony is bound over, it goes to the Macomb County Circuit Court on Main Street in Mount Clemens — the trial court for every felony in the county.
If your case is serious, this is where it ends up regardless of which Macomb city charged it. The circuit judges here each run their dockets differently on motions, adjournments, and sentencing departures, and the county prosecutor's office has internal policies about which charges get reduced and which do not. I learned both from the inside.
The county also runs specialty and diversion dockets — sobriety court, veterans treatment court, and other alternatives — that can replace jail with structured supervision for the right client. Eligibility is decided early, and asking for it late usually means not getting it.
