Posted by Hayley | June 15, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Highly recommend!!

Seth helped me with a personal injury case. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. He was great with returning phone calls and following up with me. He made sure to update me whenever there was new information regarding my case. He exceeded my expectations and helped me win my case.... I wouldn’t hesitate to have him represent me again!!

Posted by Barry | December 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

I highly recommend!!

Seth Kreiner was a magnificent lawyer at a time when I needed him most. Seth received a satisfactory result and I am most impressed with his professionalism and honesty with me. Not only was he able to defend me from a company that wrongfully terminated me but stood by my side fighting until the end.... I am eternally grateful for his service and I highly recommend Seth Kreiner without reservation.

Posted by Jarred | September 04, 2013 | Wrongful Termination

Professional Attorney with a personal touch

Seth Kreiner and his staff provided me with exemplary service regarding my severance augmentation/wrongful termination case. From day one my case was handled with the utmost professionalism. This was a difficult case as family was involved, but Seth knew exactly how to proceed. He kept me well i...nformed as the case progressed, usually with daily emails or phone calls. He provided me with options as the case developed and sincere professional advice about how to proceed based upon his extensive experience in handling these types of cases. In the end, Seth achieved the desired outcome that we set out to accomplish. It is with a great deal of gratitude that I was awarded a much better severance package than initially offered from my previous employer. I would highly recommend Kreiner and Kreiner law offices to anyone for their loyalty to their clients, their professional attitude, vast knowledge and experience, and superior communication throughout the entire process.

Posted by Dave | February 13, 2011 | Real Estate

Real estate transaction...goes the extra mile

I would highly recommend Mr. Kreiner. He turned what looked like it could have been an ugly situation with a lien on my house and got the lean removed and all fees from the other attorney waived within a matter of a few weeks. I found Mr. Kreiner to be very through and he always kept me informed an...d went the extra mile by often communicating with me in the evening due to my schedule. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and presenting me my alternatives, he is both professional and very personable. I would highly recommend Mr. Kreiner and would not hesitate to use him again if I needed his services.

Posted by Sarah | September 16, 2010 | Residential

Goes the extra mile!

My husband and I used Mr. Kreiner when we refinanced our mortgage. His knowledge of the mortgage business was extensive and he gave us great advice. More than that, I was extremely impressed that one evening when I was busy with my son and could not pick up paperwork, he drove to me to hand deliver t...he papers. You can't get that kind of service just anywhere these days!
