Excellent Service - Can't say enough good things about this firm
I am from out of state and found myself in the unfortunate situation of being charged with speeding at 61 mph in a 45 mph zone which I thought was a 55 mph zone in the middle of the country. I was very close to just mailing in a guilty verdict until I found out that speeding in Alabama is a criminal offense as opposed to other states which don't treat it with the same penalizing severity. In my profession, I cannot afford to have a criminal record, so since it had been over 20 years since I had received a speeding citation, I decided to fight the charges as I am convinced the speed zone in the middle of the country on a divided highway of 45 mph is nothing more than a revenue generating speed trap. I found Joseph Kreps firm on the internet and liked the reviews that I read, so I contacted them to handle the case. I then discovered that all the positive reviews were indeed deserved. While the state of Alabama still received some revenue from me for court costs and I was subjected to an online safe driver course that didn't teach me anything I didn't already know, Kreps was able to get the charges dismissed and my record is still clean. Thank you Joseph Kreps, I'd recommend your firm to anyone who needs help with traffic violations of any kind. Charlie

Great marks for Attorney Kreps!
I am a commercial driver who got a nasty 68 in a 45 zone ticket in that stupid speed trap on I-20 Interstate. I was worried that I would lose my license. Atty Kreps fought for me and had to appeal to a higher court. On the trial date, the state trooper showed up. He spoke with Atty Kreps, and left. I don't know what he said to him, but he got him to leave. I was found Not Guilty and the case was dismissed with no court costs. I cannot tell you how happy I am with Attorney Kreps.

Great representation!
I got a speeding ticket in my company vehicle. If convicted I would no longer be able to drive for the company. This would have resulted in my termination. It would have been devastating. Kreps law fought for me and got my case dismissed. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Great!!
Mr. Kreps was great from the moment I called for a consultation to the end result. He and his office were very honest, approachable, upfront, and a people of their word. The outcome he said he would go for (dismissal of traffic ticket) in our consultation was the exact result I received. Couldn't ask for anything better. Highly recommend Mr. Kreps and his firm.

Speeding ticket
While traveling through Alabama I got off interstate and went through a small town. I should’ve known better. I got a ticket and called Kreps to keep it off my license since Alabama treats it different than Georgia. They took care of everything at a price lower than I expected.

Excelsior Traffic Violation Handling
I was cited for a moving violation in November 2022 while visiting Birmingham, AL for a funeral. I was not from the area, and late in the evening was inadvertently speeding on Montgomery Hwy. After being pulled over and briefly harassed by the attending officer, I was very worried about the effects the citation would have on my insurance. A while passed and I recognised I was neither going to be able to drive all the way down for my court date nor did I think it right to pay the district for an infraction that was really worth a warning at worst and in addition take a long term hit to my insurance. So I called Kreps! After discussing my case with a paralegal within a couple hours of reaching out to them, they took my case, got a continuation, and after an additional continuation (and some malfeasance by the court, who sent me a Failure to Appear to try and strongarm me despite their filed continuation), they were able to take my infraction down to the absolute minimum penalty and see it wiped from my record. I will forever be grateful to Kreps and the firm for their assistance, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone who needs assistance with a traffic case in Alabama! They are worth every cent, attentive, keep their client up to date, and fight tooth and nail to help their client as best they can.

Speeding ticket
Absolutely amazing and professional people. I ended up with a speeding ticket with 24 over first one I've had in years. They managed to get it dropped to a 49 and a 40. So very thankful. I will absolutely hire these lawyers again

Outstanding Results From an Exceptional Lawyer
I lost track of the speed limit and ended up earning a speeding ticket for doing 86 in a 65 (I honestly thought the speed limit was much higher) and I honestly had no idea what to do other than simply plead guilty and pay the fines; luckily, I did some research and found Joseph Krep's information online and the rest is history. The consultation was fast and everyone his team was so polite. After hiring Mr. Kreps, his whole team communicated with me via email and text messages and guided me through the whole process. I can't say enough about Mr. Kreps' professionalism and diligence in helping me get my ticket dismissed. Honestly, I hope I never have to hire him again, but I definitely wouldn't hesitate to do so should the need arise. He was incredible.

Nursing Board Client
If you find yourself in need of an INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT, AGGRESSIVE, DEDICATED AND PROFESSIONAL attorney, MR. JOSEPH C. KREPS IS ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT CHOICE!! I found myself in a very precarious situation with out of state FELONY charges, and multiple misdemeanor charges/ convictions (from out of state, in-fact). INITIALLY, I didn't do my homework and very regretfully hired an attorney in NW AL. For over a year, the guy took my money, lied, made excuses, and ultimately did not fight for me at all and practically had my licenses surrendered. Fortunately, a friend recommended The Keeps Law Firm. DURING the very first phone call, Peggy, the Paralegal, pulled up my information, advised that I should NOT GIVE UP HOPE, and felt confident that Mr. Kreps could help me get my Alabama RN and APRN licenses renewed. Within a few hours, I was on the phone with Mr. Kreps and going over the specifics of my situation. By the end of the conversation, I knew without a doubt I was hiring the ablsolute best attorney possible. In less than 4 months (would have been less than 2 months if the ABN met monthly) Mr. Kreps successfully fought for me, my licenses, and my livelihood. I am now fully relicenced and able to continue in my nursing profession that I love and that my family and I sacrificed so long and hard to achieve. Mr. Kreps and his staff treat their clients as humans and understand that sometimes unfortunate circumstances arise that do not define who we are and those circumstances should not cost us our careers and livelihoods! I have my life and career back, thanks to KREPS LAW FIRM!!
