I had a consultation with Curt regarding questions I had about a living will, power of attorney, etc. His advice was easy to understand and exactly what I was looking for. Curt was recommended to me by a close friend I would not hesitate to recommend him, too.
I was represented by Mr. Runger in a very difficult divorce case. Unfortunately, the other party was not cooperative, therefore it doubled his load. He reassured me that he would do everything he could for this to benefit in mine and my daughter’s favor. He did beyond that! The effort he put into my case was by far more than what he was obligated to do, or what he “had” to do. He went above and beyond, working countless hours, answered promptly to my questions or concerns day or night, was always thorough, prepped for several trials and was more than prepared for our hearings. Not only did he do an incredible job in court representing me, but he guided me personally through the court hearings and divorce process, which I was extremely unfamiliar with.

An Outstanding Person...
In order to receive so many 5-star reviews including mine, you must first and foremost be a person of character. That is Mr. Runger. I have never felt unimportant or just a meal ticket when dealing with him. He has handled several matters for my family and me--perhaps small to him but quality-of-life threatening to us. Always kind, always professional, always responds, and always does his best to do the best in regards to your type of case. He breaks the often common public perception of the moniker "scumbag lawyers"! :) Learning the law, while no small feat, is the easy part, but it is his character that makes him a great lawyer. May God continue to bless him to be a blessing!

Efficient and thorough
I was in a car accident that and had to go to the hospital. Mr. Runger was always on top of things. Everything was dealt with quickly and I was kept well informed throughout the process. I never had to hear from the insurance companies until it was time to settle. He even arranged for me to have a rental car with the opposing insurance company. Mr. Runger went above and beyond what I expected an attorney to do.

Curtis Runger
Mr. Runger was instrumental in helping me deal with my sister's estate. I live over 600 miles from my deceased sister's home. My sister did not leave a will and had not filed a tax return for several years before her death. Mr. Runger was able to handle all of these issues for me and communicated either by email or phone to keep me up to date on where things stood with my sister's estate. If you are in need of legal advice, Curtis Runger should be your first choice.

Everyone Should Hire Mr. Curtis Runger!
Mr. Runger recently agreed to help me with a case. I wasn't sure what to expect, but that was okay. Mr. Runger kept me in the loop every step of the way. It seemed that he was always available if I needed him for anything. He made the entire process easy for me, and It didn't take long for me to have full confidence in Mr. Runger. What I liked the most about working with Mr. Runger was that he didn't treat me like I was just another case. I really felt like he genuinely cared about me and my best interest. I would highly recommend Curtis Runger to anyone in need of an attorney. He's extremely good at what he does, and there's no doubt in my mind that he will be a blessing to anyone that decided to work with him.

Manufacturer's defect made good
Mr. Runger took my case when the manufacturer of a vehicle I bought would not respond to demands to remedy a problem that no one could or would figure out. Mr. Runger's expertise in that area of law was refreshing and he kept me up to date at every turn, which ended up being many. Beyond Mr. Runger's professionalism, he educated me in what not to waste my time and money on, which resulted in a most efficient time and expense. My case went to arbitration. Although being respectful and courteous to the opposing counsel, he made it clear that the outcome would be beneficial to me and worked hard to that end. I was able to recoup my expenses and received a new vehicle.

Curt took over my case from another attorney. He made it his priority to get justice for me. When he took over my case the value tripled. I could not ask for a better attorney . He knows the law inside out. I would definitely use curt again and recommend him to a family member or friend.

Highly recommend!
Mr. Runger was very helpful in helping me deal with my father's will and estate. He saved me time and money by explaining my responsibilities and duties as executor. He did so in language I could understand, not being a lawyer myself. He called back very quickly when I had additional questions. I would highly recommend him and will call him again when I have need of an attorney.

Mr. Runger is AWESOME!!! I cant' sing his praises enough!
I took my car to Jim Keras Chevrolet to have repairs done. While it was there someone stole the tires and rims off of my car leaving the car on bricks! The people at Jim Keras told me I was responsible and that they would not replace the stolen wheels. I was DISTRAUGHT! I spent thousands of dollars on my rims and my car is a corvette. I reached out to a few lawyers, some seemed skeptical to take on a car giant such as Keras but Mr. Runger was outraged by what they did to me and ensured me he would make them pay! Mr. Runger was a Godsend! He jumped on the case, he was diligent, professional and most of all a PIT BULL to them but he showed ME so much compassion. Mr. Runger knew his laws and told me what to do step by step and was very patient with me. He didn’t let up and we WON our case without even having to go to court! I am so thankful for Mr. Runger and I truly recommend his services to anyone in need of a great knowledgeable lawyer.
