A Preeminent Criminal Defense Firm Based In Detroit

True Detroit Criminal Defense Attorneys Who Take The Work Personally

The Detroit criminal defense law firm of LaRene & Kriger PLC is known throughout Michigan for taking on big cases, from headline news murders to scandals involving public officials. The partners have invested their careers in the area of criminal defense, and those refined skills have spared many clients from prison and personal ruin.

Clients are sometimes surprised to discover that Deday LaRene and Mark J. Kriger are not just the face of the firm – they are the firm. Unlike bigger law firms where much of the work is farmed out to cadres of paralegals and law clerks, and are “old school” in the sense that they do it all themselves – court appearances, motions, legal research, trial prep, courtroom advocacy and appeals. Mark’s daughter, Allison Kriger, joined the firm in 2013 and has likewise established herself as a formidable trial lawyer.

Between them, the firm’s Detroit criminal defense lawyers have more than 100 years of experience. And though they are courtroom lawyers in the classic style, the partners provide cutting-edge criminal defense that gets results. In the internet age, white collar crimes and even violent crime allegations commonly involve online communications and electronic tracings. LaRene & Kriger PLC is among the few Michigan criminal defense firms with in-house forensic capabilities for evaluating computer evidence.

It’s Not About Them. It’s About You And Your Future.

The firm’s Michigan criminal defense attorneys are accustomed to defending public figures and handling high-profile cases, from charges of murder and drug trafficking to public corruption and government fraud. Despite intense media interest, the philosophy and style of the partners are to operate under the radar. Many clients are business owners and executives, licensed professionals, elected officials and other prominent members of their communities who cannot afford public scandal or law enforcement scrutiny. They put great emphasis on preindictment intervention and early involvement to avoid prosecution or resolve criminal allegations behind the scenes.

However, when the government mounts a full-scale campaign, your attorneys provide the sophisticated and strategic defense that you need. The team is prepared to take cases to a judge or jury to fight the allegations and mitigate the fallout of felony charges.
