The Best in the Business

R.J. saved my livelihood and my life. I was served with paperwork from my former employer that demanded my current company to terminate me effective immediately or they would pursue a lawsuit against both my current company and myself for an alleged breach of my non-compete agreement. My current comp...any knowing that we were in the right refused to terminate me and took immediate action and contacted Mr. R.J. Cronkhite. Not only was R.J. professional and compassionate but extremely knowledgeable and aggressively pursued my defense. R.J. told me that he took my case personally as he understood that I take care of my 5-year-old daughter and my livelihood is everything to me. Mr. Cronkhite was there whenever I called and explained everything to me in detail and in language that I could understand. My former company pursued the lawsuit and a court date was set. Upon arrival it was clear that R.J. was known and respected in the community as other legal counsel walked in the court room greeting him. At the end of the day the opposing counsel approached R.J. and we were able to come to an agreement before seeing the judge. Without the aggressive and fierce defense of R.J. I would have been bullied by my former employer and counsel and not only potentially lost my livelihood but a lawsuit as well. Mr. Cronkhite followed up with me afterwards to ensure that I was ok and informed me to reach out to him if I have any questions or concerns. If anyone is having legal issues I strongly encourage you to reach out to R.J. immediately.

Knowledgeable, dedicated and effective litigator

RJ assisted me with a contract dispute. When he took on my case he hit the ground running. I felt like I was his only client. He returned calls promptly, explained legal option in language that I ( a layperson) could understand. He was patient, and compassionate, but also "no nonsense". It bec...ame clear to me immediately that his professional strengths are in his impressive writing skills, and his thorough case law research. In court he demonstrated poise and effectively argued my case in front of the judge. I have known many attorneys throughout the years, but have rarely worked with an attorney that has so many areas of strength. RJ achieved a great result in my case! I was fortunate to have him represent me. Excellent litigator, competent attorney!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
