Krenis Law will not only meet but exceed all your expectations

After finding out my wife was having an affair I had no clue how to go about protecting myself or my children from further damage. James & Leslie worked quickly to get started on the case. They truly understood the gravity of the circumstances. It was nice to be able to walk away from consultation...s, and meetings knowing that someone else actually listened and was ready to fight fully to represent their client. They did an excellent job comprehending the situation and even suggesting legal advice that i would not have normally heard of. They will teach you how to keep a diary, learn the importance of pictures, discern what information is important and why it's important to disregard petty items that would otherwise poison your case. I loved the way that if i needed immediate attention in the instance of an emergency situation they were there hand and foot. Leslie was excellent with technology as most paralegals are oblivious to anything beyond a word document. She handled making tons of copies, sorting, pictures, emails, voice files you name it. The meetings and time were always considered with me as the best interest, like offering a convenient time for me. I was always asked if i needed a beverage. If there was dead silence after a few days they would call to see if there were any changes. They are glad to furnish to you a list of charges / expenditures to help you account to where your retainer is going. If true honesty is what you demand James will hold no punches. I loved the way he took my case personal and literally took the fight off my hands. They were on time for every meeting, on time for court. The results speak for themselves. I believe they may have set a precedence. I am a father of two who won full custody against the mother! As a man i never expected alimony or child support. Because of them i was granted both! Lastly they listened to my main request and even made it possible to keep my home. I walked out of the court room feeling for the first time in years that yes justice was served, and it is possible for the little guy to win.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Censured issued in TN, 2020

updated on 01/22/2021

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

James’s comment:

“Look at my Google reviews. This is the first discipline I have had in my 20 year career as a lawyer, and it was due to an angry domestic law client. They tried to crush my rating with a misleading and inaccurate complaint. If I disputed it with the licensing authority I would have been given the same discipline or worse. You won't be sorry if you give us a call!”

Publicly Censured issued in TN, 2020

updated on 08/11/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
