NYREJ: 2024 Ones to Watch Industry Leaders: Brad Cronin, Cronin & Cronin Law Firm, PLLC

“Brad represents the largest real estate owners and developers in New York state and obtained millions of dollars in tax relief on their behalf. Through hard work and dedication to understanding each property tax case, he has established an incredible track record of consistent results for his clients.” 

- Sean Cronin, Partner at Cronin & Cronin Law Firm, PLLC.

In the last 12 months, what accomplishment are you most proud of? 

We recently obtained an 80% reduction in assessment on behalf of our client for a large former college campus. While the result will provide substantial relief for the owner, I was also extremely proud that we came to a solution that will allow a path for the property to be redeveloped now that the tax burden is sustainable.

Best advice for new leaders: Nothing replaces hard work.
