Divorce and child custody case success

I was legally represented by Mr. Kreider in 2021 while I was going through both divorce and child custody cases. Since our first meeting for consultation, Mr. Kreider was very clear about the available options we have, the cost and how he was going to handle the cases. He is very professional respect...ful and kind person. Everything went very well in court just like he promised and the outcome was great. I am very thankful to Mr. Kreider for his great representation.

Best attorney around, look no further!

Mr. Kreider and his staff are amazing!!! His legal assistant was very helpful and kept me informed throughout my process. Mr. Kreider worked so hard on my case and fought to represent me in a professional manner. He’s incredibly thorough and diligent with what he does. As the judge told me during my ...case, “You have yourself one heck of a defense attorney!” If you’re looking for that, look no further. God bless.

Life Saver/Amazing Attorney

Jonathan helped me more than he’ll possibly ever know. I’m from Atlanta, and during a road trip to DC last year, I got a speeding ticket/reckless driving ticket in North Carolina! Jonathan stepped in days before my court date, while I was PREGNANT, by the way, and got me a VERY VERY VERY favorable ou...tcome. Thanks so much. If you’re looking for representation - PLEASE contact Jonathan Kreider.

Great job on a traffic ticket!!!

I had a traffic ticket that required a court appearance. I thankfully had not received a traffic ticket in decades and had no idea what was involved in my adopted state. Before I started to receive all the attorney advertisements, I decided to call Jon. I knew Jon from his time on the bench (perso...nally, not in front of him) and during his unsuccessful reelection bid. While we don't always agree politically, I found in Jon a caring, compassionate, and dedicated justice who looked out for the individuals in his courtrooms and someone who treated others with respect; he also had the respect of his fellow judges and attorneys who appeared before him and served alongside him. I wasn't sure if he would handle a traffic case but he did. I sent over my paperwork. I sent a few notes and spent some time on a call. When the time came to defend my ticket, Jon guided me and gave honest advice and feedback; I did not need to appear in court as he was able to represent me without my being present. His fees were very reasonable and less than others I had spoken with prior to reaching out to him. He also understood that I wanted to adjudicate this matter expeditiously and moved the hearing forward, getting a continuance granted by the courts. When the time came, he defended me well and cleared the matter in a fair and just way. I am thankful for his professional response and personal caring as well as his clear understanding of the courts - he helped me navigate my way and I am appreciative. I highly recommend Jon for any matters from family to traffic law. My hope is to only see him casually, and not professionally again. However, I do know who to call if I ever find myself in such a position again.
