Poor Service

I hired attorney Mark Kriger for a very simple criminal matter or so this attorney said. When we went to court it was obvious to the judge Mark Kriger did not know what he was doing. He gets confused very easily. The judge said Mark Kriger did a poor job presenting my case. I am in prison now for 10 ...years when this attorney said I would only do 6 months.

Poor Service

I hired Mark Kriger for a simple drug conviction. He told me no problem, I will have this all dismissed. We went to court and Mark was as drunk as a skump. I got 1 year in prison and it was a disaster.  Shop around.

I would not recommend him. Trial case that is handled by him went really bad

I was very excited when attorney kriger came to see me in the county jail. He had seen me on TV and said he knew exactly what to do to get me out of my mess. I listened and hired him. My family paid his exorbitant fees based upon his promise I would not go to prison for more than a year. I felt reli...eved. My trial came and went. Attorney kriger had only one argument which did not even apply to my case. The judge sentences me to 20 years and I was shocked. Boy I wish I would have had kriger out his promises in writing upfront.

Poor Service. not satisfied

I recently hired attorney Mark Kriger and it just didn't go like he said it would quickly after I paid him. It was a simple theft case and it was my first time ever being involved with the criminal justice system. Attorney Kriger said I would for sure get probation but that is not what happened. The ...judge threw the book at me and gave me prison time I was not expecting. I wrote attorney Kriger while in prison but after multiple attempts at contacting him he has not responded.I am dissatisfied with his representation and I would shop around next time

Not satisfied. Waste of Time and Money

I hired attorney Mark Kriger a while back and I was disappointed with his representation. He seemed very distracted by other things than focusing on my case. He showed up in court like he was suppose to but he failed to argue my position as he told me he would . I should have gone with a court appo...inted attorney but I just did not know

  • 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.
