Criminal Defense — State & Federal

At The Cromer Law Group PLLC, we know that when your freedom and future are at stake, you need a defense team with deep courtroom experience, relentless preparation, and the courage to fight. For more than 27 years, our firm has represented clients facing serious state and federal criminal charges in Detroit, Southfield, and throughout Michigan, including cases in both the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan.

 

Skilled Defense in Federal and State Courts

 

Our attorneys represent clients in every stage of the criminal process — from pre-indictment investigations through trial, appeal, and post-conviction proceedings. We defend against federal prosecutions brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, and state charges filed in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb County courts.

We apply the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (FRCP), the Michigan Court Rules (MCR), and the U.S. and Michigan Constitutions to protect your rights and challenge government overreach.
For reference:

• Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (Cornell Law)

• Michigan Court Rules – Criminal Procedure

• Firearm offenses, including § 924(c) and felon-in-possession

• Wire and mail fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering

• Public corruption and bribery

State Crimes

Constitutional Protections and Defense Strategy

 

We aggressively assert your constitutional rights under:

• The Fourth Amendment (unlawful search and seizure)

• The Fifth Amendment (Miranda and due-process protections)

• The Sixth Amendment (right to counsel and fair trial)

Our defense approach combines strategic motion practice (motions to suppress, dismiss, or sever), jury-trial advocacy, and negotiation skills to secure the best possible outcome.
We also focus on early intervention — pre-charge negotiations and cooperation strategies — to prevent indictments when possible.

Authoritative resources:

• Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966)

• U.S. Department of Justice – Criminal Resource Manual
