Civil Rights & Criminal Defense Law

At The Cromer Law Group PLLC, we combine decades of trial experience with specialized expertise in two of the most complex and mission-critical areas of law: constitutional civil rights and state & federal criminal defense. Serving Detroit, Southfield and all of Michigan, we help clients facing government abuse, constitutional violations, and serious criminal prosecutions.

​

Comprehensive Civil Rights Litigation

 

Whether you’ve suffered police misconduct, unlawful arrest, jail/prison neglect, or other rights violations, our civil rights team is ready. We handle complex claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and related Michigan state statutes.

Our firm brings claims for:

  • Excessive force / wrongful death by law enforcement

  • False arrest, illegal search & seizure, and unlawful detention

  • Malicious prosecution and fabrication of evidence

  • Jail/prison medical neglect, poor supervision & conditions

  • Retaliation for protected speech, recording police, or protest

We work the case from day one: evidence preservation, body-cam/dash-cam requests, IA/investigative files, medical records, expert review, pleadings, motions (including qualified-immunity defense), trial and appeal.

When your freedom is at stake, you need a defense team with deep federal and state-court experience. The Cromer Law Group PLLC defends clients in:

  • Federal Courts — Eastern & Western Districts of Michigan
