Recently our family needed the services of an attorney. After much research we selected the office of Steven Krieger Law. From start to finish Mr. Krieger and his staff were great to work with. Calls, emails and questions were always promptly and thoroughly answered. The office staff was extreme...ly professional in all our interactions with them. Their fee schedule was fair and reasonable, and the hours billed were very minimal. Most importantly, the firm was able to recover money owed us due to a landlord issue. I would not hesitate to give the law office of Mr. Steven Krieger the highest recommendation to family, friends and those in need of an attorney!

Dealing with this law firm has been more difficult than dealing with the divorce itself. I'm very surprised at the number of 4-5 star reviews on here, because I have had quite the opposite experience. If you plan on using Mr. Krieger as your attorney, please prepare to deal with the following: 1. Un...justified billing practices - The hourly rate outlined in the contract is fair; however, the time spent either communicating or drafting documentation is not justified. Upon reviewing my invoices, I noted an inconsistency in the time spent preparing documents. When I inquired the rationale for charges, a response was not provided. In addition, I was billed for Mr. Kriegers time spent on the phone summarizing my case/info and re-iterating information that was already covered in previous phone calls. Mr.Krieger rarely recalled the specifics of my case and spent a majority of the time asking me redundant questions. 2. Sloppy documentation (clearly based on a pre-written template) - Every document that I have received thus far has had typographical errors in it. I never thought I would have to perform a detail review of official documentation from my attorney, but clearly there's a lack of quality control. There were several instances where other people's names and addresses were listed in my documents. Considering the fact that they are handling people's personally identifiable information on a daily basis, there is a concern from a security perspective. 3. Unresponsive or delayed communications - The divorce process itself is lengthy due to required separation period and the court review, but I have spent months trying to get updates on my case for what is a clear cut, non-contested divorce. In March, I was assured by Mr.Krieger himself that my case was straightforward and would be finalized within 3-4 months. It is now November , and I am still waiting to hear if they have even filed the paperwork. The irony of this situation, is that they will send you an invoice communication, but won't take the time to respond to your emails. This whole process has been so unnecessarily painful, that at one point, I seriously considered getting a different attorney and even explored the options of finalizing the divorce myself. I am literally physically and emotionally exhausted from having to micromanage these seemingly incompetent people. If you have a straightforward divorce case, I would advise seeking counsel elsewhere, because this law firm will just be a waste of your time, money, and sanity. Depending on how long I have to endure this, I am seriously contemplating on filing a complaint with the Virginia State Bar.

I contacted Steven's office on a Friday when I found myself in a tight jam with a disgruntled tenant who refused to vacate my property 4 days before the termination of our lease. Needless to say, there was a lot of stress and even more unknowns about next steps going into the weekend. Steven's recept...ionist / paralegal, Melissa gathered all pertinent information about my situation, asked thoughtful questions to gather the necessary facts. And within two hours, Steven returned my call himself, providing me clear, concise, legal clarity on my options. I was able to turn that information over to my tenant who immediately reverted course given my solid legal counsel. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having to navigate residential landlord / tenant laws in Virginia, trust me, you will want Steven in your corner.
