Mr. Steven Krieger was very responsive with a very difficult eviction problem. First, he would always respond within the same business day, if not, within the same hour. We worked with previous attorneys who were not as responsive. Second, he was very knowledgeable about Fairfax County Land...lord/Tenant law. With the problem of a tenant that was not paying rent (or very slowly - up to two months behind), we were advised that there was not much we could do. Mr. Krieger informed us that was not accurate and took several immediate steps to remedy our situation. Third, Mr. Krieger also dealt with our very difficult, unprofessional Property Manager as well as the non-paying Tenant on our behalf. After a difficult year, this was very helpful. He also worked to diffuse the situation and mediate. He was reasonable in billing. The only suggestion I have for clients that need to manage costs is to request invoices against your retainer on a regular basis (which we did not and it ended up being more costly then expected). Mr. Krieger is very professional, helpful, calm, and knowledgeable. All of these qualities are necessary in an attorney representing your interests.

I contacted Steve regarding the VA Statute of Limitations for collection of delinquent rent. I received a collection notice for back rent exceedingly more than the unlawful detainer. Steve did his homework to find my court info on the VA Court Info site and did not find a judgement for the amount the... collectors were asking for. His advice was simply: If the creditor or a collection agency attempts to contact me again, I should request a copy of the judgment to determine if it's valid or not. I was satisfied with his knowledge.

After meeting with the 1st lawyer we had an appointment with, my life and I felt very disappointed by her response. Gladly we found Mr Krieger profile online and decided to contact him for a second opinion. We sent him an email on a Saturday morning and he replied the same afternoon. That was a go...od sign for us. Then, at the beginning of the very next week we met him and bombarded him with questions and different scenarios. Instead of rushing to the point Mr Krieger listened to us and explained a solid yet simple solution for our case. Because we strongly felt Steven was going to represent us appropriately; we decided to hire his services immediately. Once the proper documentation was signed, Mr Krieger began to process our ex-tenants eviction. Within 20 days the tenants were gone. It was not a great experience having to go through this process/experience but we are very thankful to have a lawyer that made it all tolerable and (very importantly) without breaking the bank. AFZ

I was dealing with a very tricky legal situation with a tenant of a condo we rent out. She had stopped paying rent but also wouldn't move out. I had no experience with that sort of problem, and was very stressed out. I contacted Mr Krieger because I wanted to get my tenant out of the condo so tha...t I could rent to someone else, but without getting into trouble myself. I was very happy (and surprised) that Mr Krieger got back to me so quickly. His advice helped me decide how I should handle our tenant and still try to get her to pay rent already owed. I would highly recommend him.

Steven was terrific in helping me create a set of contracts for my business, as well as helping me improve my lease agreement that we use for a housing rental. For the business, Steven was very thorough in identifying weaknesses in the contracts, and in guiding me in making choices on various points... in the contracts. As a business owner, employer and landlord, I feel that Steven's advice was rock solid and I am very relieved to have had Steven do my contracts. His style is relaxed, no pressure, and he asks a ton of questions that helps me to know what I don't know. Steven never assumed I'd want a particular clause, and instead had a very open, engaging way of working with me. He was extremely timely in his turnaround of documents, and very flexible in setting meetings. Unlike other lawyers I have worked with, Steven's approach is to make me smarter about my business and legal positioning. I highly recommend Steven for small businesses who want a great dialogue, and legal advice from someone who also has his own small businesses.
