Lansing matters move through a specific set of courts, and knowing how each one works is part of doing this job well. Baldori Law has represented clients from Michigan's capital city for decades — in criminal cases, drunk-driving cases, family disputes, and injury claims — from our office just east of the city in Okemos.

As Michigan's capital, Lansing has a legal landscape of its own: a large state-government and healthcare workforce for whom a criminal charge or license suspension can directly threaten employment, busy corridors like I-496, US-127, and Saginaw Street that generate a steady stream of traffic stops and crash cases, and three counties — Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton — meeting inside the metro area, which decides where a case is actually heard. Those details shape strategy from day one.

If you live or were charged in Lansing, here is where your case will likely be heard.

The Courts That Serve Lansing

54-A District Court

The City of Lansing's district court. Criminal cases start here: arraignments, bond decisions, misdemeanor trials, and preliminary examinations in felony cases, along with traffic matters, civil claims, and the court's probation department. If you were arrested in Lansing, your first court appearance is almost always in the 54-A.

30th Judicial Circuit Court (Ingham County)

Ingham County's trial court. Felony cases bound over from the district courts are decided here, and its family division handles divorce, custody, parenting time, and support cases for Lansing-area families.

Parts of the Lansing area fall in Eaton or Clinton county, where district and circuit court matters are heard in those counties' courts instead — we appear in both.

How We Help in Lansing

Lansing Questions, Answered

Where will my criminal case be heard if I was arrested in Lansing?+
Criminal cases arising in the City of Lansing begin in the 54-A District Court — arraignment, bond, and (for felonies) the preliminary examination. Felony cases that are bound over proceed to the 30th Judicial Circuit Court, Ingham County's trial court.
Which court handles divorce and custody for Lansing residents?+
The family division of the 30th Judicial Circuit Court handles divorce, custody, parenting time, and support for Ingham County, which includes Lansing. Lansing-area residents who live in Eaton or Clinton county file in those counties' circuit courts instead.

Yes. Local criminal, DUI, family, and estate matters center on the Lansing metro area, while our cannabis licensing, personal injury, institutional abuse, and data center practices serve clients across Michigan.
