Fair at best

Initially Richard seemed responsive and showed compassion and interest in my case. Unfortunately, after some time he showed less and less interest and became unresponsive to calls and emails. I was left in the dark, not aware of past or current developments in my case in a timely manner. Agreeme...nts to file documents and to get things done were not happening, even after several reminders.

Worst. Non responsive yet gets paid

We thought Kronk would support us especially with custody matters of a child with severe mental issues. We have gone crisis to crisis but zero response or support let alone honoring scheduled appointments. We only met in person once, and all meetings we scheduled later he never showed up. Forget abou...t getting a reply to your email, I truly believe it gets sent to spam in his inbox. His own receptionists don’t have a clue where he is half the time. If a judge appoints him to you, don’t waste your time, request a new lawyer IMMEDIATELY. I don’t know why he does this when all his clients are obviously in need or in crisis. This man has no standard of ethics.

Don't hire for family law matters

Worked with Richard Kronk for an extended amount of time in which he was a Parent Coordinator and mediated custody issues. When he first got involved in our case he was reasonable, timely, and his decisions made since a majority of the time. This changed in 2021, he became non-responsive, ignored t...he obvious, stuck with decisions that had proven over and over to not be effective. When issues reached a new level of severity, he actually contributed to them getting much worse rather than achieving any reasonable results. I asked him several times to remove himself from the case, which he refused. I had to file a motion with the court and he was removed by a judge. In my opinion this man should have no part in practicing family law in any capacity. If you have a family law matter go elsewhere.

Buyer beware

Non responsive and wildly expensive. He confused my case with another while in court and the judge had to correct him. Needless to say, the outcome was not at all what I had hoped. Through this process, I would reach out to Kronk numerous times and had severe delays in response if any at all. I thoug...h, ‘he’s a partner at this firm, I’m sure he’s got this in the bag. Maybe he doesn’t need to resplnd.’ Boy, how wrong I was!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
