Cronin & Cronin practices exclusively in the field of tax certiorari. Led by Founding Partner Brad Cronin, the 40-year-old Mineola-based law firm obtains property tax refunds and assessment reductions for commercial properties statewide.
“As a family business, there is an emphasis on having a long-term vision,” Cronin said. “This forward-looking approach and investment in our firm for an extended period of time directly benefits the service we are able to provide to our clients. Many of our clients have been with us for decades because of the integrity and innovative service they have come to expect. In today’s often impersonal business world, we pride ourselves on providing a more personalized, authentic and trustworthy experience.”
According to Cronin, investment in technology is critical. “But the challenge is identifying the investment that matches our specific business,” he said. “We have family members that have seen the transition from fax machines to email. Today, we’re utilizing technology that makes it seem like ancient history. By spanning generations in our family, the different perspectives of how to integrate technology to our business is invaluable.”
Recent accomplishments include obtaining an 80% reduction on a high-profile property, resulting in millions of dollars in tax refunds, which has helped with getting the property redeveloped. “We have assisted many new development projects that were hit hard by rising construction costs and inflation by obtaining immediate tax relief even during construction,” he said. “Most gratifying is helping a client obtain needed tax relief in sectors or properties that are struggling, such as office buildings or properties with vacancies.”
