Facing a criminal charge in Macomb County is one of the most stressful experiences a person can endure. The consequences extend far beyond fines and possible jail time. A conviction can affect your career, your driver’s license, your family life, and your future opportunities. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office is known for pursuing cases aggressively, and local police departments from Warren and Sterling Heights to the Sheriff’s Office coordinate with the Michigan State Police to build strong cases against defendants.
Mamat Law provides the resources, experience, and trial-tested strategies needed to defend against these charges. Whether you are accused of a misdemeanor OWI, retail fraud, or a serious felony like drug trafficking or homicide, our attorneys know the Macomb County courts and how to protect your rights at every stage.
Criminal cases in Macomb County move through district courts for early proceedings and then into the 16th Judicial Circuit Court in Mount Clemens for felony trials. Knowing how each court operates is critical.

These courts handle arraignments, probable cause conferences, preliminary examinations, and all misdemeanor trials. Each serves specific cities and townships:
37th District Court – Warren and Center Line
38th District Court – Eastpointe
39th District Court – Roseville and Fraser
40th District Court – St. Clair Shores

These courts make critical bond decisions, conduct preliminary exams in felony cases, and often determine whether the case moves forward or is dismissed. Our attorneys regularly appear in these district courts and understand the practices of the individual judges who preside over them.
The 16th Judicial Circuit Court in Mount Clemens
All felony trials and sentencings take place at the Macomb County Circuit Court. This is where the highest-stakes cases, from homicide and large-scale narcotics to serious fraud and sex offenses are resolved. The judges here have specific expectations for motion practice, jury selection, and trial preparation. Our attorneys are experienced in the courtroom dynamics at the Circuit Court and know how the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office approaches major cases.
Mamat Law defends against the full spectrum of criminal charges, including:
Violent crimes: homicide, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, domestic violence, and aggravated assault.
OWI and traffic-related offenses: operating while intoxicated, implied consent violations, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and license restoration hearings.
Drug offenses: possession with intent to deliver, trafficking, conspiracy, prescription drug charges, and asset forfeiture.
Theft and property crimes: retail fraud, burglary, embezzlement, and identity theft.
Sex crimes: criminal sexual conduct (CSC), child pornography charges, and online solicitation.
Weapons charges: felony firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, and unlawful possession.
Juvenile offenses: cases involving minors in the juvenile division of the Circuit Court.
Probation and parole violations: bond violations, probation revocations, and parole hearings.
Arraignment in the district court
You will first appear in the district court that covers the city or township of arrest. Here, the judge formally advises you of the charges and sets bond. For serious felonies like murder or armed robbery, bond may be denied without a strong legal argument.Probable cause conference and preliminary examination
These early hearings determine whether there is sufficient evidence for your case to move forward. Mamat Law uses these hearings strategically, cross-examining witnesses, exposing flaws in the evidence, and sometimes achieving dismissals before the case ever reaches Circuit Court.Bindover to the 16th Judicial Circuit Court
