Parisa Sadrnia is a Michigan criminal defense attorney and co-founder of Lewis & Sadrnia, PLLC, where she represents individuals facing serious criminal investigations and charges in state and federal courts.
Ms. Sadrnia focuses her practice on high-stakes criminal defense, including serious felonies, sex crimes and criminal sexual conduct (CSC) charges, child sexually abusive material (CSAM) and child pornography cases, child abuse allegations, white-collar and financial crimes, domestic violence, OWI/DUI, and drug offenses. She also represents clients under investigation before any charges are filed, when early intervention can make the greatest difference. Whether she is working to prevent charges, litigating pretrial motions, negotiating a resolution, or trying a case before a jury, she provides individualized representation built around each client's goals.
Ms. Sadrnia has devoted her career exclusively to criminal defense. Her practice has centered on the most serious matters in the field, including complex felony prosecutions and sex-offense allegations where a client's liberty and future are on the line. She has obtained not-guilty verdicts, dismissals, charge reductions, favorable sentencing outcomes, and resolutions in which investigations closed without charges being filed. She understands that a criminal accusation threatens far more than the outcome in court: it can affect a client's career, family, reputation, and future.
Ms. Sadrnia has been selected to the Michigan Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for Criminal Defense since 2023 and named to The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 under 40 for Criminal Defense since 2022. She earned her J.D. from Western Michigan Thomas M. Cooley Law School and is admitted to practice in Michigan and before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan. She is a member of the Oakland County Bar Association, Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
