COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

Prior to hiring Kreps I was almost certain I was going to loose my license due to a third point. I was cited for doing 85 in a 70. I didn't want to go down with out a fight though and thought i'd give it a shot and hire a layer. I did some research online and came across the kreps site on google. I g...ave them a call and talked to them about my case and asked what the chances were of me getting my sentence reduced or dismissed and they said that due to my prior driving record the chances were unlikely but they would do their best. Not even a week after i decided to give them a shot, they emailed me back saying that they were able to get my case "dismissed" if i attended a 4-8 hour live driving class. The significance of this is that i should't have been able to take the course since I've already taken one within 18 months. I was blown away. I HIGHLY recommend this Law firm.

Definitely Top-Notch and Effective!

I was a traffic client and was very pleased about the representation I received. My charge was 20+ mph over the speed limit in a construction zone without workers present. Mr Kreps was able to get the ticket dismissed with attendance at a 4-hr defensive driving course and paid court fees. When I a...sked for information, someone from Mr Kreps' office got back to me within 24 hours and often much sooner. My only complaint was that I had to ask for information - I wish they had been more proactive with keeping me informed, as the case continued. Definitely would recommend this attorney to anyone in Alabama seeking a positive case disposition.

Texting while driving ticket

Joseph Kreps is a great lawyer. I received a texting while driving ticket in Alabama. I called Kreps law firm and spoke with a lawyer that worked there about my case. She was very helpful. Then I received a call from Joseph Kreps himself. He was very nice and concerned about my case. He reassured me ...that we would win this case and instructed me to take an 8 hr defensive driving class. He told me exactly how to get signed up for one. He answered all my questions and within a week or so I received an email saying we had won the case. No longer will this ticket be on my record! Thank you Kreps law firm for making this easy for me. And for representing me well.

Attorney Joseph C Kreps - Superman of DUI Defense

Where do I begin? I was arrested for DUI, Open Container, and speeding. I spent 10 hours in jail thinking my life would never be the same again once these charges permanently stained my record. At first, I figured there was no point in hiring a lawyer considering the fact that I was caught dead to ...rights. I was caught speeding. I was caught with open container. I blew a .11 once I got to the station. What further proof would they need to charge me with a DUI? How could I possibly get out of that? A month went by and I still hadn't hired a lawyer. I got to thinking about it and I figured I would try and find a good DUI attorney to at least provide some good advice before entering my case single handedly. I then did some research, and happened to stumble upon Attorney Joseph C Kreps' YouTube videos online that explained what would happen if I were actually charged with these convictions. They were so enlightening that I couldn't help but give this guy a call to see if he could help with my case. I gave him a call & after getting my information & case details; one of the first things his secretary mentioned was that they may be able to get the sentence reduced to a public intoxication. I was astounded, thinking there's no way. I was caught dead to rights. I'm going down. No doubt about it. I then decided to pay the fee and to hire Attorney Joseph C Kreps' as my DUI Defense Lawyer (not NEAR as high as what I was quoted from other firms). His very helpful team then guided me through the process of completing a series of tasks that would help my case. I completed a questionnaire and a few other simple tasks that would, in fact, turn out to help my case tremendously. A month later, I was scheduled to arrive in court on a Wednesday. On a Monday afternoon prior to my court date, I received a phone call that explained to me that I wouldn't need to show up in court on Wednesday and that there was a high possibility that my case was going to be dismissed. I was absolutely thrilled. How could this happen? I was caught dead to rights! Two days later I received a phone call and an email from the firm saying that if I completed a level two CRO, 20 hours of community service, and paid a $600 fine plus court costs, that all charges were to be dismissed! My entire future was left in the hands of Attorney Joseph C Kreps, and I couldn't have put it in a better place. I now have no DUI charges and no open container charges on my record. I'm telling you from experience, this man and his firm are the absolute best DUI Defense Firm you could possibly hire for your case. - If you have a DUI pending - Stop what you're doing - Call this firm. It will be the best call you've ever made. Sincerely, Randall One Extremely Satisfied Client

This DUI Lawyer Kept My Future Bright!

I was involved in a 1 car accident and flipped my car and totaled it. I knew I needed a lawyer that would fight for me every step of the way. Once I spoke to Kreps, I knew I wanted to hire him if I could afford it. He was very willing to work with me on a payment plan. Mr. Kreps explained all of ...my options to me at every step of the way and in the end the only offer from the district attorney was to plead guilty or have a trial. Mr. Kreps is a fighter and is not afraid to take cases to trial even with bad facts such as mine - an accident and a breath test result over the legal limit. Mr. Kreps tried my case and obtained a NOT GUILTY VERDICT! I am very pleased with him and with all of the staff at Kreps Law Firm. This DUI Lawyer fought for me and kept my future bright! I will never put myself in this position again! Thank you Mr. Kreps and all of the people at Kreps Law Firm!
