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, fo...r 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, effi...cient, 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.

* Beyond the call of duty *

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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
