I was sued by a contractor because I wrote a yelp review that they believed was defamatory. It was the first time I had ever been involved in any legal problems at all. I was referred to Steven by the Fairfax County legal referral service, and I feel extremely lucky that that happened. tl;dr we wo...n based on DC's anti-SLAPP legislation. We crushed them in court and I got a massive settlement. Stephen was very cool headed and thoughtful throughout the entire process, even though I was kind of a spazz at times. His advice was just what I needed to hear at every step of the way. He never tried to sugarcoat anything. I found the whole team to be honest, respectful of my time, and respectful of the process as a whole. It may seem like a small thing, but the filings were impeccable and put opposing counsel to shame. I cannot recommend this firm enough.

What do you think when you hear "lawyers"? Yeah me too- greedy, overpaid crooks who get paid ridiculous amounts of money to put in minimal effort for an outcome they cannot even guarantee. Well, I can't say that my general opinion of all lawyers has changed because of my one amazingly positive experi...ence with Steven Krieger, but I will say that I've never been so surprised and happy to be wrong. I had gotten a property manager to manage my condo, which had an existing tenant who had always struggled to pay on time but faithfully paid every month for a year and a half. Within less than 4 months, the terrible property manager had brought the situation to this: possible eviction, a court date, and two months of unpaid rent while the tenant was still living in my condo. I was overseas, had never had an issue like this before, and didn't know what to do. This is exceptionally difficult for someone like me, who trusts rarely and doesn't like being unsure or out of control. The court date was set and looming,and i didn't want the manager representing me in court (he had already proven unreliable for everything), but i didn't have any personal recommendations for good lawyers, so I had to do the dreaded cold-calling of people in a profession i don't trust to help me. I HATE DOING THIS. I'm a research freak and very detail-oriented so this process takes FOREVER. Steven Krieger Law has nothing but 5 star ratings, but how am i to know it's not just a bunch of his friends or people he paid off. His website motto says: practical solutions, honest advice, for everyone. OK that's what all lawyers want you to believe. So I still called him assuming the worst. But in this case, i am happy to report i was wrong and he made me believe his motto and stellar ratings over the course of several emails and phone calls that he didn't even charge me for (most lawyers seem to believe that 10 minutes of their time should cost $50 before i even know who i'm talking to. I'd rather give $50 bucks to 6 random people in an hour and do more good for the world). Lucky for me, Steven was one of the first lawyers i called...and became both the last one i called for this situation and the first one i will call again if i need a lawyer in any of the following fields: Consumer Protection Law, Family Law, H-1B Visas, Landlord & Tenant, Online Defamation & Fraud, Small Business, and Zoning matters. Actually i'd probably just call him first for any lawyer-necessary matters just to get an honest opinion. P.S. he never pressured me, and actually ended up recommending that i privately work my issue out with the tenant, effectively talking himself out of a job. P.P.S. I do not know Steven personally, i have not been paid off or gotten any discounts, and i have nothing personally to gain form writing this review. I also rarely write reviews for anything, but i felt such sincere gratitude for his help that this was the least i could do.

Mr. Krieger is not only knowledgeable, but also likes to help and provide a good advice. I contacted him regarding a small claim case against my landlord, even though he can't represent me in this case, his service and timely response to my emails was second to none. I cannot thank him enough, and... I would recommend him for any landlord and tenant related cases. The world needs more lawyer like Mr. Krieger.

I am a landlord and owner of a residential property in Alexandria. I was seeking to evict one of my tenants who was way behind on his rent. I thought I could handle the eviction process myself without hiring a lawyer...seemed like a straightforward process and an open and shut case. However, due t...o a legal technicality, I lost the case at trial. I hired Steven to represent me at my appeal and I won a judgment that I otherwise would not have received. I should have hired Steven from the beginning! Worth the time, money and peace of mind. Don't try and handle eviction by yourself!
