This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Cynthia McIlnay

I consulted with Attorney Kruse on two occasions to help me sort out removing myself from a real estate contract that was showing too many red flags. Russell was wonderful to work with. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, I felt he was also very honest and forthcoming in our discussions..., and was patient with me in leading the way and letting me learn how I needed to proceed. He also has a wonderful sense of humor and was so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Attorney Russell Kruse.

Mr. Kruse Assisted With My Negotiations

I hired Mr. Kruse to assist me with a few outstanding accounts I owed. He was courteous, communicative, and helped me pay these accounts off at a great discount. I cannot recommend Mr. Kruse enough!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
