35th District Court Criminal 
Defense Attorney - FAQ's 

1.      Will my case be handled by Wayne County or another prosecutor? Cases are handled in two ways at the 35th District Court.  Most misdemeanors are handled by the local city or township prosecutors, but some are handled by the County.  If you've been arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff or the Michigan State Police, you will be prosecuted by the county.  If you've been charged with a felony or a DUI second offense, and some other crimes like domestic violence, you will be charged by the County.  Most other offenses are charged locally.

2.  So what's the difference, and why should I care?  Generally the local prosecutors can offer better deals and be a little more flexible with resolving a case.  As a former Oakland County prosecutor, I know there was always additional rules and regulations on my ability to resolve a case for a defendant, but the local prosecutor did not have those same restrictions.  Generally I find better results with local prosecutors, but that is not always the case.  That being said the Wayne County prosecutors at the 35th District Court are very fair and good to work with.
