Professional and Personable

I hired Jeff for a few marriage-related matters. He is professional, tactful and transparent in his communications, his pricing is in line with the industry standards, and he is easy to talk to in person. I highly recommend his services to those who are looking for fair and considerate representation....

Knowledgeable, proficient, and honest

Jeffrey Kreshtool assured me my hostile custody/child support case was straight forward and simple and he was correct. He stayed above the drama, tactfully focused on the facts and skillfully ensured my case was settled without going to court. He was respectful, responsive and kept me informed thro...ughout the process. He also kindly went out of his way to try to prevent my son from being dragged into the middle. From day one I felt confident and grateful I was being represented by a great lawyer. Also, the actual cost was slightly less than his estimate at our initial consultation.

Realistic, savvy, uniquely diplomatic

I was referred to Jeff by a friend after a two year separation. Where I thought I had a difficult situation to navigate, Jeff made common sense of my matters. I was most impressed by his ability to be the calm in the storm when I was not, remain reasonable when my ex would not, and show the savvy a...nd diplomacy of an expert when working with other attorneys... Jeff also actually helps you save your money, while keeping your case moving which is a big deal during a divorce. Thank you Jeff, it was all you.

Great Support! Great Family Lawyer!

What I love about J Kreshtool is that he did not ask me for every email that was sent after my separation. Other lawyers will do that, and charge you a fortune in effort to start drama, and keep your case going. Others, build your case, charge you a fortune, and then settle. Mr Kreshtool doesn't mess... with all of that. He will ask you what you need, advise, and then negotiate quickly. He doesn't go back, and forth with the opposing attorney, even though they try. He is forward, and has his clients needs, and pocket in his best interest. You will find that many attorneys will prolong a case, charge you to prepare for trial, when a trial is not needed. He doesn't try and keep you on the phone so that he can charge you more money. In fact, you just tell him what you need and he will negotiate it for you. Stay out of court! Keep your lawyer fees low. I wish I would have found him from the start. I have full custody of my two sons which is well deserved. Great support! And, I didn't need a vicious, ugly, dishonest lawyer to get it. He still checks in to make sure everything is going smoothly. Highly recommended!

Best Attorney!

I used Mr. Kreshtool for my divorce, and custody. He really knew the court system, and helped me get through what might have been a "nasty" divorce. He returned all my calls within the same day the calls were placed, made suggestions in my best interest, and helped me to "keep it together" when I wa...s worried about the case. He gave me the best advice, that truly worked in my favor. Being a single parent, Mr. Kreshtool also set up a payment plan that really helped with the retainer fee, and court costs. I have and will continue to recommend him most highly.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
