Serious Speeding Violation, Case Dismissed

In spring of 2013 I received a speeding ticket from Edina Police for going 15-20 over in a 35 zone. I contacted Kristen after hearing she was one of the best in the Midwest for criminal cases and traffic related offenses. We both appeared to Edina court and the DA completely threw out the case once h...e saw who was representing me. Needless to say, I am still in shock to this very day. Hire Kris Naros if you need the most favorable outcome, she knows how to get the job done and she fights hard for her clients.

A lady among ladies and gentlemen; a superb attorney who is a "legal surgeon".

I hired Kris Naros for legal representation regarding an offense that occurred in my building (?!), I had no prior convictions. One is nervous dealing with the - shall I say - "legal" system vs. "justice" system being so fresh to it, so to speak. What I realized is when if someone would be after yo...u in civil court or in a criminal court you need good legal representation. Kris is outstanding. At first I was wondering being male what a female attorney is like. Well, Kris Naros was probably at the top of her law class, people stiffen-up when they see her, they probably know she's not taking slip-&-fall lawsuits, she phone calls you and you feel valued. She's reminds me in my career of physical products I have represented - not cheap or overpriced, of very high quality and value. Except Kris is not an inanimate product - she's a great person and probably a formidable, terrible opponent to square off against. Great work. If your opponent is foolish to make an error Kris will surgically destroy them, metaphorically speaking.

It's good to have Kris in your corner

Kris was an awesome find. She was very knowledgeable and led me through the process during the first arrest of my life. She is very connected in the legal system which helped move things along smoothly. As nervous as I was, she helped calm me through the proceedings. Due to her connections and ta...ctful approach my charges were reduced and will be expunged. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone without hesitation.

Kris to the rescue!

About 1.5 years ago I got an underage DUI and was in need of an attorney to represent me. I was referred to Kris by a family member who had dealt with her in the past and it was the best thing that could have happened. As soon as I met Kris I felt confident and comfortable with her. She is very knowl...edgeable and is able to tell you what to expect. I live in northern MN and Kris is from Minneapolis, she made three trips up for me. Kris gave me advice through my experience and taught me how mistakes like this can really mess up your life and I still think about that daily. I would recommend Kris to anyone who needs legal representation. She is a fantastic lawyer that doesn't see you just as another client but shows compassion for you and works very hard to make sure you get a fair case.

Kris Naro - Naros Law - The Best, Hands down!

My son got himself into a little trouble with under age drinking and driving a year and a half ago. We had need for an attorney and were referred to Kris Naros. We live in northern MN, and she is located in Minneapolis. She did not hesitate to take our case, and conducted a couple of very thorough... interviews us. She approached the case professionally, and with great knowledge and exuberance. We immediately felt great confidence in her. My son was 19 years old at the time with a very bright future ahead of him. Kris did a wonderful job of teaching him also through this whole process. She him know that he could not let this happen again, and how detrimental the repercussions would be to his career, etc. He took this to heart and has continued to follow her advice. She represented him extremely well, and we respect her greatly. I have contacted Kris on several occasions since with legal questions and asking for advice and will not hesitate to do so in the future. If I were to need legal counsel, Kris Naros is the first person I would call.
