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.

The Best of the Best

The true mettle and grit of a lawyer is proven not at the outset of the job, but in the aftermath of the storm. Money cannot buy lawyers like Jason Kreiss. Six years ago, Jason worked on a case for me in which my livelihood was at stake. I was charged with a felony. I was a young adult at the time, a...nd extremely petrified for my future. My well-being and happiness lay completely in the hands of Mr. Kreiss. The odds of my case were very much set against me. I spoke to Jason often on the phone even though I was out of state. That was when it became apparent that Jason has two sides to him—the pristinely skilled lawyer, and the human with a heart of gold. In Jason, each quality feeds off the other to result in the type of lawyer people mostly only dream of. Jason was dealing with huge cases at the time, and in perspective to these, my case could have been viewed as less severe, although it was devastating to my own life. Jason could have let me slip through the cracks—but he did not. Instead, he did the opposite. Although it was unprecedented at the time, he managed to get my felony dropped to a misdemeanor, which, he then managed to get completely expunged from my record. The proof is in the pudding. As if this were not super-human already, fast-forward six years to today. I recently encountered a new problem with extortion from my case six years ago. I was extremely distressed and perturbed. I had no idea where to turn since it had been over half a decade since my case had been settled. I picked up the phone after six years and called Jason. To my astonishment and utter relief, Jason came through immediately. He spoke to me on the phone, and solved the issue at hand as if no time had gone by at all. All this came from the goodness of his own heart and the pure commitment he has to the people he helps. And that, I must say, is rare. He is relentless, because he treats his clients like his own family. This is a man who truly cares, and who has the supreme skill and brain to go along with it. Few have the audacity and valor to keep fighting—but Jason is one of those very, very few. You are in safe-hands with this man. They just don’t make them like Jason Kreiss.

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.
