Brian A. Kruse

Mr. Kruse was always straight with me on my options. I first met with him when considering divorce and I didn’t follow his advice and failed to file sooner. So I hired him when I needed to fix things. He understood my case and my concerns and continued answering questions after our case was closed. H...e took ownership when his paralegal made a mistake (her replacement was great!) and he dealt with abuse and drama from my ex’s attorney with complete professionalism. I hope I don’t need to, but I’ll hire him again if I need further action on our latest decision.

I met Brian last year, and the circumstances of my case were very hard and difficult to deal with. Let me say this, Brian was easy to work with, felt like he had my back from the day I retained his services. Let me give you a piece of advice when dealing with Brian, always tell the truth no matter wh...at. If you give this man and his firm the truth and information he will fight for you and do the best job he can! I never lied to Brian i told him the truth about everything. He assured me over and over to trust him and while sometimes it was hard, Brian and his firm knew what they were doing. He assured me it was a marathon and not a sprint but to stay the course. It was the longest 12 months of my life but being a religious man and having Faith in God and in Brian I knew that I would be okay. As opposing counsel and my ex tried to use false restraining orders to gain the upperhand over and over, Brian tore them up and showed the truth! The thing that I admired about Brian that you don't see hardly anymore is that he would never take a shortcut or lie to gain the upperhand. He did it the old fashion way, hardwork and using the truth! He never once tried to take a fast shortcut to gain the upperhand, he just assured me that we needed to trust the system, and show the truth and put the work in and everything would be okay! Again easy to work with him and to set a plan. As time went out and Brian and I were able to show the truth to the court and the parties involved appointed by the court it was deemed that I should be awarded full custody and that I had the best interest for the children. That's my story in a nutshell, and to tell you where I came from and where I ended up Brian and his firm worked their tails off and got me custody of my kids! Their was times I spoke to Brian at 11 pm at night to have my mind put at ease or to go over my case, sometimes on the weekends, he always returned calls and emails. As a matter of fact my mother just passed away and after the custody and divorce was over he still reached out to me to let me know that he was sorry for my loss. I haven't had a lot of dealings with lawyers but I assure you of this he cares about his clients and he fights for them! I went from only being able to see my children based off lies from my ex to getting full custody as he fought hard for me. While I may sound like a broken record here, I am trying to show you the reader who may be looking for a lawyer that will fight for you, Brian is the man that you need to use! Thank you so much for your help, your partnership in walking with me as it was the hardest time of my life, but thank you! I am very thankful and when I looked you in the eyes and shook your hand I meant what I said! You took care of me like family, I won't forget that! I hope you nothing but the best, and hopefully I won't need you again but if I do, I know that I got the truth on my side and a lawyer and firm who will fight to win for my children and myself!

I hired Brian to handle a protection order and divorce. During a very emotional time, he was understanding but also made sure I knew what needed to be done. He was thorough and professional, even when dealing with a less than cooperative opposing attorney. He understood that my priority was my son an...d made that his top priority. He was responsive to all questions and made sure to steer me clearly through new processes such as supervised visits. Should the need arise, I would use Brian again.

Brian represented me in my divorce this year. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, not only about the law, but of other lawyers in the area as well. He was always thorough with questions to obtain all needed information, very clear in instructions of what the next steps would be (and timeline), and al...ways very professional. He guided me through what we anticipated to be a messy proceeding, and helped me anticipate and plan for potential contingencies. With his advice and guidance, I was able to negotiate an outstanding settlement for both parties. Months after the divorce was finalized, my financial situation changed. He was happy to answer some questions and provide me some guidance. What impressed me most with Brian was his commitment to doing what's right, working with all parties to find a reasonable solution for all, as opposed to just trudging ahead and racking up countless billable hours over minutiae. Thanks Brian!!!

Brian did an awesome job as my divorce attorney. I hired him because he was thorough, professional, and hard working and he did not let me down. My divorce case was rather complex and he did a great job of listening to my concerns and advising me in all aspects of my case. He is a very intelligent..., experienced, well-rounded lawyer with common sense. He is also well respected in his network of attorney's and in the courts. I highly recommend him and would do so with my closest friends and family.
