The Lawyer You Want - A Winner!!

Jason Kreiss is a gift. He did the impossible for us by miraculously getting a felony reduced to a misdemeanor in a case where that is just not done. He said we were extremely lucky to receive that decision, but we say our luck was in having him as our lawyer. He presents himself modestly, not und...erestimating each individual case, taking everything seriously, whether it is a small or large case. He demonstrated extreme skill and knowledge throughout the process in the way he handled everything, inspiring great confidence. A very principled man, he fights for justice for his client because he really cares. From the outset, he showed tremendous compassion, which is what drives him to be determined and dedicated. He does not give up. He has conviction and tenacity and because he thinks out of the box and is extremely resourceful, he is able to get the result of what would seem to be impossible. As a person and as a lawyer Jason Kreiss has tremendous integrity. From the first day I spoke with him I knew he was going to fight for us, and do the job right. Not only does he understand the law, but he understands the human being. He understands the circumstances of each individual case thoroughly, which enables him able to represent his client in the best possible manner for the best possible outcome.

Icing on the Cake

On December 16, 2010 Jason Kreiss performed a miracle in a high-profile RICO conspiracy Internet gambling case (USA v. Betonsports PLC et al) and helped me get my life back. And when I thought it couldn't get any better I became a free man officially today... Docket Text: ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDE...RED that the motion for early termination of probation [Doc. # 1297] is granted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant Norman Steinberg is discharged from probation and the proceedings in this case are terminated as to him. ORDER granting [1297] Motion for Early Termination of Probation/Supervised Release (7) Signed by District Judge Carol E. Jackson on 7/31/2012. (KMS)

Posted by Michael | August 09, 2011 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Jason and his staff have been amazing. The character and knowledge that he and his staff bring is amazing. Highly Recommend!!

The knowledge and capability that Jason and his staff brought to the table is amazing . If I had chosen another attorney I dont know that I would be here posting this review. I can tell you without much detail that my outcome could have been very different if he was not by my side. His staff has alwa...ys been responsive and timely with information. I can without hesitation and will refer anyone in need of help to him. When first we met and discussed my case I was not promised and have never been promised an outcome that was unreasonable. Jason is and remains a straight shooter and will let you know the real deal. I think that speaks for itself.
