Federal Criminal Defense | Civil Rights | Complex Litigation

I'm Ronnie E. Cromer, Jr., founding attorney of The Cromer Law Group PLLC in Southfield, Michigan. For over 25 years, I have defended individuals facing the most serious federal and state criminal charges in Michigan's courts — and fought for the constitutional rights of people harmed by police misconduct, government overreach, and institutional abuse.

My practice is built on a simple principle: every client gets me. Not an associate. Not a referral. I personally handle every case from first call to final resolution.

That is how I have secured a $1.33 million civil rights judgment, achieved full exonerations for the wrongfully accused, won a landmark 100-day trial against Wayne County, and successfully defended clients facing mandatory life sentences in federal court.

If you are facing federal criminal charges, have been the victim of police brutality or excessive force, or need an experienced trial attorney for complex litigation, call me directly at (248) 809-6790. I am available 24/7 for confidential consultations.

No Criminal Charges in the Ypsilanti Police Shooting of John Jenuwine: Why the Attorney General's Decision Is Not the End of the Story
