Haute is Corporate Diva, Sabrina Shaheen Cronin, attorney, and founder of The Cronin Law Firm, PLLC. Sabrina is not the stereotypical version of a tough and successful attorney with bulldog tactics we have come to expect when in need of legal services. Yes, Sabrina is appropriately tough and successful because she has cultivated an exceptional legal career and business acumen; however, this was not through bulldog tactics, but from compassion, perseverance, and grit.
There is so much to say about Sabrina Shaheen Cronin, but more importantly, she is an award-winning attorney with a successful track record. She creatively delivers expert advice and counsel to all who walk through her doors, not just her clients. Sabrina has meaningfully created a culture that is both supportive and progressive, encouraging a winning team strategy. It was this type of insightfulness, blended with determination, hard work, and resolve, which propelled her to create the “next level” in legal services. Today, Sabrina is proud of the firm she has built and the lives she has changed for the better. She has always had a deeply held desire to help people.
The most notable and inspiring attribute about Sabrina, however, is how she is setting a new precedent and perspective for the legal profession, as she leads with her intuition when it comes to representing her clients. Perhaps it is her impressive music and dance background which allow for more grace and sensitivity, as she compassionately advocates for her clients facing adverse legal issues and challenges. Through her empowering motivational speaking and life coaching initiatives, she has affected positive change throughout her community. Her Co-Parenting Workshops offer parents valuable resources and tools on being kind and respectful parents amid divorce. Her passionate and compelling concern for children affected by negative parental interaction during and after separation or divorce is paramount. Sabrina repeatedly states, "Our children are always watching, and kindness must prevail.” She advises parents to “Do the right thing, for the sake of our children.”
“Children are watching parents, and kindness must prevail.”
Much like the Legally Blond movie character, Elle Woods, our Corporate Diva is a refreshingly real-world, non-traditional attorney that has made her mark in the legal field her way, with an elegant style and no apologies. Sabrina states, “Much like fashion, we choose our style. The same can apply to divorces and co-parenting. We can choose to carry baggage that has lasting consequences on those we love, or we can simply get a mental and emotional makeover. My workshops are designed to do just that; promote a positive transformation.”
Sabrina loves fashions and a great designer sale! A shoe fashionista, suits, dresses, and heels are the holy grail in her workweek wardrobe. Whether in the courtroom, or a Zoom meeting, her fashion sensibility emerges to reflect her inner and outer confident style. Classic and modern essentials intermingled with a few trendy pieces define her personal style. Keeping things polished and professional, she occasionally wears designer jeans with a great jacket to the office to change up her stylish fashion game.
Sabrina Shaheen Cronin is all about giving back to her clients, her community, and her family. She challenges individuals to change, grow, and learn how to be the best version of themselves by offering two weekly Facebook LIVE Shows. Tuesdays Challenge 2 Change 11:30 -12:30 pm and Thursdays The Cronin Law Show 11:30-12:30 pm, which both emerged from the Stay Home Order, to provide her clients the most up to date information on COVID-19 and the State. It has since expanded to over 50 shows as Sabrina interviews motivational and informational guests from Michigan and beyond.
Haute is Magazine salutes this dynamic businesswoman and mother of three. Sabrina enjoys the role of being a competitive AAA travel hockey mom to Kevin, 13, and Victor, 9. Daughter Aviannah, 11, is an avid gymnast. Music and dance are also a common thread in her family's life, as well as her strong faith which keeps her moving forward with compassion and a true appreciation for all that life has to offer.
