Judge Linda Davis was a Macomb County Prosecutor before being appointed to the Bench. This means that if the right steps are taken, Jail can be avoided. In Second Offense DUI Cases, he won’t buy that excuse (nor will any Judge, for that matter), but he is similarly receptive to working with someone who is ready to address their problem and take care of getting themselves on the straight and narrow. In 1st Offense DUI cases, he is always open to the possibility that a person has simply fallen victim to a lapse in good judgment. Quick-witted and very intelligent, his natural disposition is overwhelmingly kind, and it is obvious to anyone paying attention that he tries very hard, and is uniformly successful at being fair. Judge Sebastian Lucido worked in Private Practice, like me, before being appointed to the Bench. Frankly, if a person is unlucky enough to get a Drunk Driving, having the case land here is at least a decent break.
I’m often in this Court 3 times a week, so my observations about it are based upon considerable experience. Given that it’s not a particularly “harsh” Court, and given the admirable level of consistency in that regard, I think it’s better to pay a little more and walk out the front door after a DUI, rather than get a great deal on the Fines and Costs, along with some time in Jail to savor that bargain.Īs a DUI Attorney, I am lucky to have the 41B District Court as my “home” Court. No one gets out of this Court inexpensively. Fines and Costs here are always on the high end.
On the other hand, the 41B District Court tops them all in terms of being expensive. For those facing a Drunk Driving (DUI), this is a solidly “middle of the road” Court, being neither especially lenient, nor overly harsh. Housed in a beautiful new building and staffed by 3 Judges, Sebatian Lucido, Linda Davis, and as of Jauary 1, 2011, Carrie Fuca, the 41B District Court is a model of efficiency. To begin, I think it’s fitting for me to explore my “home” Court, the 41B District Court, which handles cases arising in Clinton Township, Harrison Township, and Mt. This is the first in a series of DUI articles focusing on Macomb County District Courts.
