Great Attorney

An amazing attorney.... I can't say enough what he has done for my husband. He put in the time, hours and hours. Was ALWAYS on top of everything. I will be forever grateful to you.

Excellent Representation and Counsel

I want to thank Mark for being my attorney for the last three years. I don’t believe I could have ever received better representation or counsel in this matter. Mark did a tremendous job when it came to sentencing as the outcome of probation was something I did not believe was possible (the governm...ent had asked for incarceration). Attorneys matter and in my case Mark proved to be brilliant at putting forward the best arguments on my behalf through his hard work over the three years my case was working it’s way through the court. I would highly recommend Mark and cannot thank him enough as he did a tremendous job as my attorney.

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.

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

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.
