My tenants were not paying their rent and were refusing to vacate my property. The management company to which I entrusted my property while I was overseas kept charging a monthly fee but did not collect the rent. Seven months in with no rent money and an exploitative management company, it was beyon...d time to find a lawyer! I found Mr. Steven Krieger’s blog post regarding the eviction process in Virginia. I was impressed by the level of detail he provided and the clear, concise way he presented information on the topic (he was certainly far more thorough than the county website). He also freely answered people’s questions on the post itself, something I hadn’t seen other lawyers do on their websites. After reading the reviews on his service, I decided to contact Mr. Krieger to resolve the problems with my tenants and evict them. He was the best thing happened to me in this ordeal. Any dread I had about the situation was eased from the very first call. Mr. Krieger answered my emails immediately, even the ones I sent very late in the day, and he remained extremely punctual throughout the legal process. He answered all my questions, provided calm and sharp insight, gave excellent advice, and always kept my interests in mind. Mr. Krieger’s assistant, Ms. Assya Thode, also kindly provided prompt help. They both were very compassionate and sensitive to my situation. During the five months he worked on my case, Mr. Krieger offered goal-oriented guidance. Our court procedures took a longer time than I expected because the tenants appealed the case. In court, while the tenant’s lawyer resorted to crude assumptions to discredit my case, Mr. Krieger remained confident and composed. Ultimately, the tenants paid all of the unpaid rent, late fees, attorney’s fees, and had to vacate our home. In the process, I learned not to waste time before going to court in case of any problem with tenants. I also learned that an excellent lawyer like Mr. Krieger is indispensable. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Steven Krieger. Thank you Steven for a stellar job!

My roommates and I were involved in a lawsuit with our former landlord that had started off as a small claims case we filed against him to return our security deposit and ended up as circuit court case in which he counterclaimed $10k in damages. None of us were expecting the complete overreaction ...on the part of the landlord, and after trying to navigate the waters ourselves with no experience in litigation, we knew we had to consult a lawyer. We found Steven through the Arlington County Bar Association and set up a work session with him after speaking to him on the phone. We brought all our paperwork and he explained to us how to respond to the landlord's claims. He answered all our questions and remained responsive and available via phone and email after the work session was complete- even months later when we were in the process of discovery. I cannot stress enough how much clarity he brought to what was a convoluted and confusing ordeal. He provided us with the tools we needed to make sense of the case and fight it on our own. In the end, not only did the landlord not get anywhere near the $10k he was asking for, he was ordered to return part of the security deposit back to us! I would recommend Steven's services to anyone needing help with tenant-landlord issues. My experience with him was outstanding.

I contacted Steven to help me with a bully landlord. It was an extremely stressful situation that should have been a happy time in my life - moving in with my serious boyfriend. I met him for a "work session" and for one hour he helped me organize all of my evidence and weed out all of the unnecessar...y stuff. When it came time for my hearing I felt confident. Not only did I win the suit against me, I also won my counterclaim. The judge said the same things that he had said about the facts of the case. He knows his stuff!

Retained Steven for a contentious child custody case. At my request, Steven demonstrated a very controlled and patient approach to deescalate the illogical aspects of the case. Steven always maintained my child’s best interests and ensured the final outcome was the best possible given the circumsta...nces. Always responsive and provides sound advice. Very reasonable rates. I would highly recommend Steven for any domestic case requiring a sound logical and down to earth attorney to navigate the challenges of custody disputes.

If you are under pressure from a bully landlord and/or realtor, he's your guy. I was trying to be forced out of my apartment, for no good reason, by a landlord who wanted to make up rules as time went along. Steven read over my lease, called me and immediately told me what rights I had as a tenant. H...e helped put my mind at ease and I sleep easier at night, knowing this monkey is off my back. Thanks Steven!
