Attorney Referrals

Legal professionals from across the country have trusted their referrals to Kronzek & Cronkright. We have been honored to been selected by attorneys from Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Ft. Lauderdale, Sacramento, Miami, Detroit, Des Moines, Philadelphia and New York as their firm of choice in selecting a firm to entrust their clients, friends and family to.

In addition to attorneys, our referrals come from physicians, court staff, law enforcement, many former clients, psychologists, magistrates, social workers, law school professors, trial consultants and a large array of others that understand the depth and skill of our defense attorneys.

Because our firm always has at least one attorney on call to handle emergency situations, our telephones are answered live, 24/7. We have nearly 70 years of combined experience in zealously and aggressively representing clients in State and Federal Court throughout Michigan. Our track record speaks for itself. It is partially display on our web site. As Michigan's premier criminal defense law firm, you can rest assured knowing that your referrals will be handled professionally, confidentially, ethically, compassionately and with the very highest standards of care. With thousands of Michigan criminal cases behind us, we know our way around the Michigan court system.

Many criminal defense "firms" in Michigan function mainly as referral agencies. Those that do so are often out of state law firms or one-man shops that operate from a local lawyer's home. They often use traveling sales people to pitch their services in-home, and then farm out the vast majority of their work to local attorneys around Michigan that are willing to work cheap. It's a highly profitable, low overhead business model for those that operate to farm out most of their work. Because these operators keep a large portion of the legal fees and pay out only a fraction to the independent contract attorneys willing to accept that lesser fee, clients are not always assured of top notch representation. Be assured that every attorney in our firm is a full time employee of our firm. Kronzek & Cronkright defense team members work only for our firm. They are highly skilled, professional and insured and our attorneys frequently participate in continuing legal education. Our beautiful offices are staffed by a full array of paralegals, secretaries, law clerks, externs and an in-house, licensed private investigator. To compliment our full time staff, over many years we have developed a fine working relationship with outside experts such as forensic scientists (i.e., DNA, voice recognition, handwriting, blood spatter, ballistics, etc.) psychologists, polygraph operators, forensic accounting firms, accident reconstruction engineers, pharmacologists, coroners and retired law enforcement personnel. When you phone our office, you will be reaching an actual law firm with real offices, really located in Michigan rather than someone's home or an office in California or Illinois.

Kronzek & Cronkright will consider co-counsel and "of counsel" arrangements on a case by case basis. However, if we choose to accept such an arrangement, due to our extensive and particular experience, it is required that our firm serves as lead counsel in all instances. The firm will also periodically accept invitations to lecture, consult and instruct in the area of sex crimes defense. Contact a partner to discuss your particular needs.

The firm does occasionally accept clients with matters pending in states other than Michigan. We have appeared pro hac vice in Florida, California, Wyoming, Pennsylvania and Texas.

We invite you to call Charles Kronzek or Michael Cronkright to discuss the needs of your referral clients.
