Recommended highly

Mr. Kreitzer took the time to explain what the legal process was. He didn’t talk over my head nor treat me like a dullard. He detailed my options and likely outcomes. When I made a decision he implemented it. No trying to change my mind. If he felt I made a wrong decision he explained the consequence...s again so I either accepted them or took my chance. I never felt neglected or bum rushed.

A role model lawyer

Mr. Kreitzer helped me very much in the change of a court order regarding my divorce. He has always been focused on my needs, gave excellent advice in a timely manner, responded to all my emails within hours. He always tried to communicate the most efficient way to keep costs low. Very professional a...nd well prepared at court session. I got what I was striving for. Book him if you need help!

Mr. Kreitzer is very professional. I feel that he really cares about people who seek his advise. He provided me the guidance I needed.

Posted by Gerald | November 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Rising star in the Shenandoah Valley judicial system.

I hired Matthew in September 2016 to argue on my behalf in regards to a protective order that was filed by my teenage son and my ex-wife. Matthew has always been very personable and knowledgeable. He has always made me feel as though my case and situation are important and a priority to him. Matthe...w has always made me feel as though he believes in my case. He has always kept me updated on my case and has always made time to meet with me. Matthew was even gracious enough to accept a phone call outside of normal business hours once. He once spent nearly four hours waiting for my case to be heard, as the court was behind schedule. Matthew spent that extra time in the court room studying the judge, and asking other attorneys about my case and what their opinion was on how the judge handles cases such as mine. He does not seem intimidated by my ex wife's attorney. And he conducts himself in a very professional manner. My case is ongoing, but as of right now, I'm very pleased with the work that Matthew has done on my behalf. I would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs.

Exceeded expectations

I was initially hesitant to hire Mr. Kreitzer due to his lack of experience. I was reassured with his honesty about his experience and his understanding of my hesitation. From the very beginning it was extremely apparent that he was very dedicated to my case, and was available anytime I had a questio...n or concern. Any email or phone call ever sent was responded to within the hour. Every single one. His honesty, punctuality, and respect were more than I ever expected. Every time my case had a development, he was honest about the pros and cons of potential options. Every request, order, and subpoena was drafted with my well-being in mind. Even though he was representing several clients in several cases, I always felt as though he made my case a priority. Mr. Kreitzer never appeared intimidated or reserved towards other attorneys or my ex-wife. I am completely certain that the case was concluded in the positive outcome in which is was due to his dedication and professionalism. If you are looking for honest and dedicated, as well as a lawyer who always puts your needs and priorities first, Mr. Kreitzer is a sure thing. It should be noted that I am a male with three children of the marriage and I am beyond satisfied. Thank you Mr. Kreitzer!
