Top Tier Attorney

In November of 2015, I was driving through an intersection when violently stuck by another vehicle. After being referred to Ed by a trusted family friend, who is also an attorney, I knew I was in good hands. This was reiterated after my initial meeting with Ed and his team. He made sure I was gettin...g the appropriate medical treatments, gave me an idea of the process that we would be going through over the next few months, and then continuously followed up with me to provide updates, but also in regard to my treatments and well-being. Ed has my full confidence and I would not hesitate to work with him again.

car accident case

Mr.Kruse did an amazing job with my car accident injury case. His knowledge and professionalism is unbeatable. He helped me negotiate my medical bills to make them more affordable and was able to get me a high dollar settlement quickly. Him and his office staff went above and beyond to make sure me ...and my family were taken care of. This attorney definitely knows what he is doing and gave his all on my case. I don't know what my family and I would have done if we didn't have Mr. Kruse in our corner!

FRAUD

Ed Kruse is an awful lawyer and even worse of a person. Doesn’t care about you or your money, he cares about his money. Good luck never getting justice and getting walked all over.
