Bronx Criminal Defense Lawyer
A Bronx criminal defense attorney should be contacted immediately if you have been charged with committing a crime. You will need effective representation as soon as possible to protect your rights and address the charges you are facing. My name is Attorney John M. Cromwell and for over two decades I have been defending clients charged with misdemeanors and
felonies. At the beginning of my career I worked for the Legal Aid Society of Nassau County where I gained invaluable knowledge in cases ranging from shoplifting to drug possession and robbery.
I have dedicated my legal practice to advocating for the accused, and will aggressively challenge the accusations against you. I represent clients in cases involving domestic violence,
drug offenses and
juvenile crimes;
sex offenses such as
sexual assault and
rape;
DWI (DUI and DWAI),
first DUI offense and
multiple DUI;
theft crimes including
burglary,
larceny and
robbery;
weapons crimes and
probation & parole violations. I also defend individuals charged with
violent crimes such as
assault,
armed robbery,
murder and
manslaughter.
Criminal accusations can be devastating to both you and your family. I will act quickly to obtain your release at your arraignment, and will immediately get to work building your defense. If you want to avoid a trial and a plea bargain is your best option, I will negotiate with the prosecution for the best deal possible.
Defending Criminal Charges
Legal proceedings can be extremely stressful and turn your life upside down. I will do everything I can to make your situation as painless as possible. I will also listen to everything you have to say about your case, and compile information that can be used to present you in a positive manner to the prosecution and judge. The charges against you will be thoroughly investigated and any witnesses will be interviewed. All of your legal options will be explained to you in detail so you can make informed decisions regarding your defense. I was born and raised in the Bronx and am an experienced criminal defense lawyer who truly cares about his clients' welfare. You will always be treated with dignity and respect, and any questions you have will be fully answered. I am also fluent in Spanish.
