Experienced, knowledgeable, and smart

I am lucky to have Kristen working on my behalf with a worker's compensation case. She knows the "in's and out's" of the byzantine BWC laws, is great at communicating, and has made a complicated, difficult time easier. I strongly believe Kristen has my best interests at heart and I highly recommend her!

A Lawyer with a "Winning Attitude".

Kristen was referred to me by many to be "the lawyer of choice". The tenacity displayed throughout my case (by Kristen) was awesome and at times unbelievable. As I will quote a good friend of mine (also in the legal profession) "If your want a dollar Kristen will get you two". "Thanks Kristen, for the win!"

Personal Injury Case

My son contacted Kristen after my accident. She was referred to us from another attorney's office. Kristen consulted with us, and even came to my home for the consultation as my injuries did not allow me to go out. Consequently I hired Kristen. She is extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, efficient, and effective. Throughout the entire process, a year and a half, she kept me informed, all the while relieving my concerns and taking care of everything. I was very pleased with the outcome, and would highly recommend Kristen to represent you.

Kristen Kraus is a powerhouse professional whose confidence and compassion deliver exceptional results I was injured on the job and consequently terminated. Kristen agreed to handle this case immediately. She had the final results much faster than expected with the compassion as though it personal. Step by step communication and availability was exemplary as well as my faith and confidence. Thank you!

I had an employment case that Ms Kraus attended to. She was incredibly thorough, honest, and proactive. If there were any issues or challenges, she informed me right away and recommended solutions. I would absolutely consult her again for any future cases and recommend her to anyone.

Have a true professional on your site !

Kristen handled very professionally my case related to an employment dispute. She knows the law inside out and her previous experience is huge asset in resolving issues quickly. Kristen know how to strike a balance between being assertive and reasonable in the assessment of the situation. We reached very favorable settlement in my case, that was critical for my career. I liked in particularly the quick response to my inquires and the transparency in relationship (and billing) .
