Michigan-Born, Chicago-Educated, Trench-Trained

R.J. Cronkhite

Raised in a working-class family outside of Detroit, R.J. learned how to fight early. Later on, he learned how to fight for, and protect, others. That is now his life’s privilege.

For over a decade, R.J. has litigated, negotiated, and settled business disputes for a variety of firms—ranging from a small local firm to a national Am Law 200, and everything in between. In doing so, he has seen what works for clients. And what doesn’t.

R.J. also discovered that his experience fighting over and resolving these issues on the back-end—often in court—enabled him to help clients identify and prevent problems on the front-end. His litigation insight empowers him to help protect clients against costly disputes—and ensures that his clients hold the winning hand if and when a dispute escalates.

Dedicated, Honest, & Intelligent

R.J. helped us keep our home from being razed by our municipality for trivial issues. We involved R.J. after it became clear that the municipality was determined to destroy our home. R.J. immediately and aggressively went after the municipality, backed them down into a reasonable position, and saved our home. R.J. clearly cared about what happened to us and got an amazing result! We strongly recommend him.

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 company knowing that we were in the right refused to terminate me and took immediate action and contacted R.J. Cronkhite…

R.J. is an exceptional, results oriented attorney

R.J. is an exceptional, results oriented attorney. He is efficient, thorough as they come. He worked on our cases as if they were his own. He is a prime example of hiring “an attorney” and not a “firm.”  His business knowledge and aggressive approach kept us using him repeatedly.

R.J. was extremely helpful with guiding me in the right direction

R.J. was extremely helpful with guiding me in the right direction. He walked me through, step by step and was always available to advise me all the way through. He knew the law(s) that applied to my case and did not allow me to be dissuaded by the defendants.  R.J. is an outstanding attorney of law. . . .  R.J. exemplifies what an outstanding lawyer is and raises the bar to a level of excellence only few attorneys can hope to reach.
