Alan G. Crone
Founder & CEO
The more complex the case, the more interesting. I love unraveling facts and figuring out what’s really going on to come up with a sure-fire strategy for a solution.
About
Founder of The Crone Law Firm, Alan is our Team Leader. Whether he’s helping achieve a business dream or seeking compensation for someone who’s been treated unfairly, he draws from a deep well of compassion and experience. He’s a master at devising winning strategies and innovative tactics.
Sometimes the only thing to do is file a lawsuit and fight it out in court. And other times it’s better to negotiate a settlement. Either way, Alan knows how to get the best outcome.
A fifth generation Memphian, he is a voracious reader and semi-avid golfer. He has been active in local and state politics for decades. He is the former head of the Shelby County Republican Party and Special Counsel to the Mayor of Memphis.
Alan is also the very proud father of 3 children and is devoted to his wife Allison.
