Steven M. Cron

Steve Cron was referred to me with high expectations. He was an extreme disappointment. I felt he was more concerned about collecting my money rather than helping me. He showed up late to ever court date except one, eating milk duds and flirting with every woman he knew in the court room while rubbin...g elbows with the DA to gain a new alliance rather than going to bat for me. My sentence quadrupled by the time we completed our year worth of court dates. It went from a wobbler to me being sentenced to a felony and 6 months in jail. I asked him to please call two friends once i was taken into custody to give them my information such as my booking number in order to get money on my books, etc...he failed to even do that one small task. Furthermore, he gave me incorrect information on when to start my community labor and more importantly when my probation start date was, so once I was released from custody and showed up to my probation officer I was slapped with a violation for being 2 months late. The entire ordeal was very emotional, he had a tendency of being very condescending and lacked empathy of any sort. I would have been better off going with a public defender and saving my $8,500 which I had to bleed to get.

We have the highest respect and are very grateful for having Steve defend our son in a case where he has charged initially with "assault with a deadly weapon", then reduced to a felony "assault to cause great bodily harm". While our son was home for summer break from college , he attended a birth...day party at a popular west side restaurant. Late in the evening, an argument broke out, a brawl ensued and four young men had been cut with a knife. The party goer how had the knife admitted to the police that it was his and he was the only person with a knife. As parents we reached out to a family member who is very well respected Aviation attorney to see if he could recommend the correct attorney for our case. It was Steve Cron. I called and set an appointment to meet with Steve. He could not have been more kind and knowledgable. He suggested we call our son who was back at school and so we called right then and there! Ben flew down to meet Steve and showed him the location where the brawl took place, in order for Steve to picture for himself what things looked like. How many lawyers would do that? I was impressed. At two court appointments preceding the preliminary trial, I was again impressed with his interactions with members of the court. I could tell he was both known, well liked and respected by all, including the Judges. After a day long preliminary hearing, where Steve was calm and professional,asking all the right questions of the witnesses, he moved to have the case dismissed. The prosecutor fired back with a flood of accusations about our son. Steve, still composed gave four or five statements of facts and conclusions. THE JUDGE DISMISSED ALL CHARGES AGAINST OUR SON ! We can't say enough about Steve and his assistant Liz. They treated us like family. If you, a family member or friend needs the best legal representation, we would recommend Steve as the man to hire! W.L.

I received my first (and hopefully last) DUI back in October and like everyone else, I was freaking out. I was worried I was gonna lose my job and get into some financial hardship let alone deal with the court system. After meeting with Steve for the first time, I knew right then and there that he wa...s the man to help guide me through the process. Although we received results from a blood test that we both weren't expecting, Steve went above and beyond to help reassure that everything would be fine and would get me back on the path to correct my mistake. He treated me with the upmost respect and answered every question I had (and I had plenty) about the process. With his many years of experience, Steve was able to make a deal with the court and help relieve any additional sentencing. I can not speak any more highly about Steve and if possible, call and meet with him. Steve has an amazing track record and many years of experience dealing with the court system. I would highly recommend him to any family member, friend and stranger. And to Steve, thank you very much for everything you have done for me. I truly appreciate it more than you know.
