Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido named Robert A. Leonetti as his chief assistant prosecutor, the second-highest position in the prosecutor’s office. As an attorney and former Macomb County commissioner, Leonetti brings a record of legal expertise, public service, and a commitment to accountability and transparency. Under Michigan law, the chief assistant performs the duties of the office in case of the absence, disability, or sickness of the prosecuting attorney.
Leonetti, a lifelong Macomb County resident, and East Detroit High School graduate, spent more than 28 years in private practice, specializing in criminal defense, family law, real estate, and bankruptcy. He earned a law degree from Wayne State University Law School. He also earned a BA in Political Science from WSU.
In addition to his legal credentials, Leonetti served four years on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, representing Harrison Township and St. Clair Shores. He also testified in the Michigan Attorney General’s criminal corruption case in which the former Macomb County prosecutor was ultimately convicted, where Leonetti emphasized the importance of adhering to county commission resolutions compelling financial accountability and transparency.
“I’ve always believed that good governance starts with being a good steward of taxpayer dollars,” Leonetti added. “As a commissioner, I worked to ensure the county was transparent and our budget was spent wisely. As chief assistant prosecutor, I’ll continue that focus by helping Prosecutor Lucido lead an office that serves justice efficiently, economically, and ethically.”
