Cronauer Law is an independent firm in Sycamore built on experienced counsel, straight talk, and genuine personal attention for the people of DeKalb County.
Legal problems rarely arrive at a convenient time. Whether you are recovering from an injury, working through a divorce, planning for your family's future, or facing a criminal charge, you deserve an advocate who listens, explains your options honestly, and stands beside you the whole way.
Our Sycamore roots reach back to 1979, when Charles E. Cronauer founded the firm here in the county seat, where the historic 1905 DeKalb County Courthouse still anchors downtown. From our office on DeKalb Avenue, we serve neighbors across Sycamore, DeKalb, and the surrounding communities, treating every client like a person, not a file.
