This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Professional Services

Mr. Stanton has assisted me many occasions with my Franchise Agreements, reviewing contracts and agreements and incorporation work. They are reasonably priced, very professional and communicates effectively. I highly recommend his service.

Incredible Business Attorney in Tampa FL

We were a defendant in a frivolous federal lawsuit that was filed against us. Not knowing where to turn we wanted to make sure we had the best lawyer representing our company. Mr. Stanton was recommended to us as an incredible business attorney in Tampa FL from other business professionals. Mr. ...Stanton walked us through the entire process and advised us of the pros and cons to every decision we made. We held our ground and ended up with a case that was dismissed. We are completely satisfied with the work provided by Stanton Cronin Law Group and we plan on keeping our retainer active so we can call them with any questions or problems that may arise in the future.

A lawyer who goes above and beyond.

I contacted Mike (and Sean) to assist me on a business lawsuit for which I was being deposed in 6 days. We spent over an hour discussing my case. Mike was completely upfront and knowledgable on the deposition process and how we should proceed. Having never been deposed, I was quite nervous before ...speaking with Mike. He put me at ease and assured me that he would be there to represent me and my business partner so that we presented our case succinctly and accurately to the deposing attorney. He met us early for the meeting, reviewed our documents and took control of the meeting from the beginning. The deposition went smoothly and we were done in less than 90 minutes due to Mike preparing us so well ahead of time. His flat rate was more than reasonable while the service was extraordinary. If you need a business lawyer in Tampa, you only need to call StantonCronin.
