"I endorse Mr. Kroon. Having been on the other side of several trials and cases in the family law court room with him, I know first hand that he has an excellent understanding of family law and what a Judge will do with a given set of facts. He is client focused and driven towards effect negotiation and settlement, but yet willing to take a case to trial."
"I endorse this lawyer. With his many years of experience, he has seen it all before and knows what it takes to get the results you want. Herb is a zealous advocate and skilled negotiator. His experience as a mediator is also helpful in a highly charged family dispute."
"I heartily recommend my partner Herb in the area of family law. He is a compassionate listener and concerned about not just the legal aspects of divorce but also about how you will be able to manage such issues as custody, child support, parenting time, and property/income issues in the years to come. He will protect you as best the law allows - now and in the future."
