About Jay
Biography
Born in raised in Wausau, WI. My practice focuses on litigation: in-court representation of individuals and small business throughout the State of Wisconsin. I offer free consultations for matters in criminal defense, victims' rights laws, real estate law, civil litigation, civil rights, bankruptcy, creditor's rights, personal injury and a variety of other legal matters. As a general litigator who has lived and worked in Central Wisconsin my whole life, even if I don't specialize in the area of your currrent legal need, odds are I know the folks who do. My free consulation can be a good place to start and often ends in a personally tailored, no-fee referal to another professional in the community.

6 months and no show
I had this clown for a total of 6 months before even knowing he was my attorney, and once I released I tried to contact him via phone, office visits, and emails, only for him to call me the night before court and initiate our first contact. He is horrendous and looked like a greasy biker with long ha...

Jay Kronenwetter's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Kronenwetter provides a much needed service on Avvo. He donates his time to individuals who are in need of immediately legal answers."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Jay is a terrific attorney. He is certainly one of the brightest rising stars in our legal community. He is smart, energetic, aggressive and fearless. He has tried more jury trials in his few years of practice than many attorneys who have been practicing for decades. I am constantly impressed by his ability to clearly and directly identify and address the issues. He has taken on some pretty big cases for an attorney with so few years out of school and while he is co counsel or co-defendant counsel on some of these, he always carries his own weight and often more."
