Best Lawyer!!!

Jason W. Kreiss of The Kreiss Law Firm was recommended by someone who heard of him through friends. I must say, the recommendation was the best. I spoke to him prior to my visit on the phone, and knew right away, he'd be the lawyer I need. I met with Mr. Kreiss and discuss my legal issues and conc...erns. My meeting with him and hs advice was exceptional helpful and meaningful, hence, I hired him right away. Mr. Kreiss and his team, Donald and Patti, were all I could ask for as I was looking at a 20yr sentence. He's constantly in touch with the prosecutors to get the figures right even on the day of sentencing was remarkable, he fough all the way. It was remarkable to see his team at court on day of sentencing supporting me all the way. Thanks to their hard work, I'm looking to serve a 2yrs sentence. I'm truly sorry for the situation I've put myself, my family and those that put their trust in me. I'll serve my sentence with dignity and looking forward to returning to society a better person. Again, thanks to Mr. Kreiss and his team on their timelessness and diligence in taking my case. I highly recommend this firm, not only do they check up on me prior to sentencing but has also been keeping a check after, to see if I have any questions or concerns.

100% COMPETENT & TRUSTWORTHY

Its hard to put into words the stress one goes through when it comes to Federal Crimes of a loved one. However, in a time of panic and fear I can say a sense of tranquility went through my mind after hiring Jason Kreiss and his team. Professional, focused, assertive & kept me in the loop of the "s...ystem". Jason was attentive to my numerous questions & responded in a timely manner. Superior to the rest! Can't thank him enough.

Hire him!

Jason recently represented my brother in a very tough case and we couldn't have asked for a better attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I believe he truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their cases. He keeps you informed and encourages you when you things don't s...eem to be going well. He left no stone unturned in this case. He does his homeqork and will fight for you to the end. He and his staff are exceptional in every way. I highly recommend Jason if you find yourself in need of an attorney in South Florida.

Posted by anonymous | January 07, 2013 | White Collar Crime

Top Notch Attorney

My lawyer Jason Kreiss handled my White Collar case with the utmost professionalism, his demeanor was straight forward, honest,empathetic, but most importantly assertive in getting his argument across. Mr. Kreiss guided me throughout the most difficult time of my life by being available, and returnin...g calls immediately.He explained everything, and reviewed all evidence with me.From hearings up until the conclusion of my case Jason has advised me with great recommendations. His staff goes above and beyond, I understand why Jason is the best in the businss after experiencing this how I did and listening and seeing others waste good money on mediocre lawyers. If you want clarity in a dark and confusing time, pick Jason to lead you through it. I would recommend Jason to anyone that would need to hire a criminal attorney for their defense,he treats you like a valued client not dollar signs.

Restored my life

I was one of the lead defendants in the US v. Betonsports plc Internet Gambling case out of the E.D. of Mo. I had given up all hope and the government considered me to be a fugitive in CR where I had resided for 13 years and where I was also a citizen. Jason formulated a strategy to convince the gove...rnment to negotiate a plea agreement in good faith by instituting civil litigation against the United States for bringing a malicious prosecution against me. After 16 months and having to make 3 trips out to St. Louis, Jason was able to negotiate my surrender on his home turf in Ft. Lauderdale, granted OR Bond in advance, and my swift removal to St. Louis all in the same day. I surrendered in Florida on Monday and was sentenced by the judge in St. Louis on Thursday. On Friday morning I was on an plane back to CR sentenced to 3 years of unsupervised probation and a $10,000 fine which I have 6 months to pay. This international case, from 2006, charged me with evasion of gambling excise taxes, RICO, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, obstruction of IRS laws, and forfeiture for 4.5 billion dollars. The lead defendant in the case, Gary Kaplan, was sentenced to 51 months in jail and personally had to forfeit more than 43 million dollars. His team of attorneys was the best that money could buy. This is an example of big doesn't necessarily mean better. Jason made himself available to me 24/7/365 via email or phone. I have never seen an attorney more diligent than him, and a lawyer who was so devoted to researching a case thoroughly. The judge in the case, Carole E. Jackson is considered to be a very strict judge. Jason and his colleague, Mike Gottlieb, established a very professional working relationship with both the prosecutors as well as the judge. Kreiss and Gottlieb clearly out-strategized the government. Jason was always one step ahead of the government, and was always prepared. If you want an attorney that will dedicate himself to ultimately getting you a resolution to your legal problem that you can live with look no further than Jason Kreiss. It took me more than 3 years to find him, and it was by shear luck that I did.
