I have thirty years of experience representing small businesses and individuals. I consult with, provide guidance to, and refer clients to other professionals, including real estate and mortgage brokers, accountants, bookkeepers, and financial planners, to resolve issues cost-effectively.

As a business owner or individual, your decisions have legal ramifications. That starts with the choice of entity--sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or LLC. The form of business has significant consequences in protecting its owners from personal liability.

- Employee and independent contractor considerations
- Vendor matters
- Customer disputes and debt collection
- Sale or dissolution of the business

I help with all of your business issues. My goal is to facilitate transactions-not create roadblocks. I advise you of your legal risks, and help you minimize them. My firm resolves disputes, always prepared to represent you aggressively.

I also focus on residential and commercial real estate matters, including:

- Purchase/sale contracts, addenda, and amendments
- Mortgage and loan documents, foreclosures, and short sales
- Deeds, promissory notes, and deeds of trust
- Construction defects, water damage, and mold
- Zoning and land use issues, obtaining or opposing conditional use permits, and variances
- Landlord/tenant matters, residential and commercial leases, and eviction
- Neighbor disputes

I would be happy to consult with you regarding your real estate and business questions, and can provide top-notch legal advice and consultation within those practices areas, including:

- Small business formation and operating issues
- Business disputes and civil litigation
- Residential and commercial real estate transactions

He continued his education at the University of San Francisco, School of Law where he received the prestigious American Jurisprudence Award.

Since 1979, he has been a criminal defense attorney. He sees his role as the protector of the accused. However, his prosecutorial experience has helped him understand the mindset of his adversaries both in the trial court and in negotiations.

Although he has much trial experience his background, skills, and contacts has often allowed him to obtain favorable results without the extra expense associated with trial. As a defense attorney, he has successfully handled cases ranging from accusations of driving the influence, murder, sexual misconduct, domestic violence, and complicated white collar cases.

Education: UC Hastings COL

Jurisdictions: California - Admitted in 1974 (38 years)

Steve Cron was born in 1948, and raised in the San Fernando Valley. He attended North Hollywood High School, UCLA, and Hastings College of the Law, graduating in 1973. He passed the bar on the first try, and began working as a Deputy Public Defender for Los Angeles County. During his six years in the Public Defender's Office, he handled juvenile cases, misdemeanors and felonies. It was a great place to start, with a high volume of cases ranging from minor misdemeanors to murders, and everything in between.

After six years, in 1980, Steve decided to start his own practice. He loved the practice of law, but wanted the opportunity to be his own boss and to be able to build long-term relationships with his clients.

For 30 years, Steve has been in private practice in Santa Monica, representing those accused of criminal acts. He alone represents each of his clients, and he maintains personal relationships with the clients while representing them, and often, for many years after the attorney/client relationship has ended. When clients hire Steve, they know they will get his undivided attention, and that their case will not be handed off to another lawyer with less experience.

Steve loves being a criminal defense lawyer. Everyday he gets to help people who are often in trouble and experiencing a terrible time in their lives. Being able to help people dig out of those situations is really rewarding. Although being arrested or charged with a crime is a horrible experience, Steve always tries to find a way to make this a positive experience. An arrest is often the result of recurring negative behavior, and sometimes such an experience can cause someone to reevaluate their lives and change negative behavior. For example, someone arrested for a DUI might come to realize that they have been drinking too much and take steps to curtail their drinking, or a domestic violence arrest might cause someone to begin anger management classes which help to save a relationship. Many of Steveâs clients keep in touch with him long after their cases are over, often telling him that they hated the experience of being arrested, but it caused them to change some habitually negative behavior which they had overlooked prior to their arrest.

Steve is often the lawyer who judges and prosecutors call when their friends or loved ones are in trouble. He is credible, respected, and has over 35 years of experience representing people in criminal cases in Los Angeles County.

When a client is innocent, no one will fight harder. He has investigators and experts available to help prove our side of the case. He has an exemplary record as a trial lawyer, at one point winning nine consecutive federal jury trials.

When clients want to settle a case, Steve has the knowledge and experience to know what the issues are and how best to address them. His personal relationship with the clients lets him know what issues are most important to that particular client. His long-standing relationships with prosecutors and judges, give him the opportunity to present his client's case in the best possible light. His credibility and reputation mean that his words will be taken seriously.

Steve Cron has been certified as a Criminal Law Specialist by the State Board of Legal Specialization since 1984. There are only about 300 lawyers in the entire state who can call themselves Certified Criminal Law Specialists. Heâs also been recognized by his peers every year since the inception in Los Angeles Magazine's annual poll of Super Lawyers in Criminal Defense. Steve is an Adjunct Professor at the Pepperdine University School of Law, and head's a regular legal commentator for CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBS, and many other national and local magazines and newspapers. They ask Steve for his opinion, because he is respected and knowledgeable, and people in the news want to know Steve's opinions about current legal cases.
