Persistence for Justice Since 1985
For over 30 years, Dennis has persistently worked in the pursuit of justice for his clients. Dennis was hired in 1987 by his friend and mentor, the late L. Carl Maxey, Eastern Washington’s first African American attorney and celebrated civil rights leader, from whom he received the “D.C.” moniker.
Believing access to justice is more than a notion, in 2003 Dennis founded The Law Office of D.C. Cronin emphasizing domestic relations and appellate law, criminal defense, equal rights, and peer consultation. The responsibility of carrying on the commitment and dedication in pursuit of equal rights is the hallmark of The Law Office of D.C. Cronin and impacts Dennis’ decisions both personally and professionally. Over the course of thirty years, Dennis has worked persistently to disassemble barriers to the access of justice.
Dennis’ passion for equal justice is demonstrated by his comprehensive study of the law and his determination to have the law applied fairly to all, regardless of resources. Dennis earned Martindale-Hubbell’s Judicial Edition AV® Preeminent Peer Review Rating, the highest possible in both Legal Ability and Ethical Standards.

Just two generations after Dennis’ Irish-Canadian and Italian grandparents immigrated to the United States, Dennis founded The Law Office of D.C. Cronin based upon values of hard work, perseverance, and persistence on behalf of those who struggle to access justice.
Throughout his life, Dennis has experienced how cultural and language differences can enrich and affect others. Raised in a working class neighborhood, Dennis’ parents instilled a work ethic to realize the dream their parents and grandparents crossed the seas to fulfill. Dennis’ older brother is a renowned transplant surgeon, his younger sister is a registered nurse.
Dennis’ passion for equal justice is demonstrated by his comprehensive study of the law and his determination to have the law applied fairly to all, regardless of resources.
Believing his responsibility is to lead by example, DC formerly served the community as volunteer general counsel for the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP and for Spokane’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Outreach Center, member of the Board of Directors of the Spokane American Civil Liberties Union, the Washington State Bar Association Sentencing Committee, and served the citizens of Spokane as the Chair of the City of Spokane Human Rights Commission from 2008 until 2010.
