INCREDIBLE!!!

Valerie is AMAZING!!! She was always on top of my case and truly had my best interest in mind. Even when there wasn’t anything upcoming for my case she would keep in contact with me because she actually cares about her clients! When it came to going in front of the judge she was passionate and direct... and had all the information to be able to communicate clearly and directly to fight for me. When it comes to understanding the law and the avenues to be able to fight for your freedom, you will absolutely not find a better advocate than Valerie! She doesn’t just care about the income. The way that she conducts her business, she genuinely shows that she cares about you as a person. The relationship she built with me truly made me feel that she believed in me and her motivation was to fight for my rights and interests. Choose Valerie, without question, if you are in need of representation and you will not be disappointed in any way!!!

Very helpful

I was fortunate enough not to have to hire Valerie but she took the time to consult with me, advised me, and even kept up with my case until it was finally dropped by the courts. In my dealings with her she was helpful, attentive, and was willing to do whatever it took to help me through my ordeal. I...f I ever need legal council in the future Valerie will be my first call!

Counselor for Veterans

First and foremost Valerie Kruse is the most awesome lawyer I ever met. I deal with lawyers in courts quite a bit due to me assisting Veterans the the court system when needed. But when I needed her she didn't hesitate to go to work and not only did she have my case dismissed she did it in one show...ing. The first lawyer I got had me going back in forth to court almost 17 times to tell me prosecutor want bulge and the reason was he never talked to the prosecutor. Mrs. Kruse talked to the prosecutor and had my case drop within 30 minutes and I am still baffled who does this. Of course she did. I am truly I found her on the internet but to whomever read this review know this is real talk and I am not an actor. God Bless her and I can finally relax my mind body and soul and on top of that I got a new job through all this trauma.

Very happy

Valerie was my attorney, she did an amazing job. She faught for me, and happen to get my case dismissed. She kept in contact with me the whole tome, always returned my calls or texts, she never let me down. I highly recommend her to anyone, and if I ever need an attorney, (which I hope I don't get ...in more trouble) I will deffenatly use her again.

Professional, Positive, Personal

I had interviewed 3 attorneys before deciding to hire Valerie. When I left her office after our consult, I felt hope for the first time since my criminal incident. She was empathetic, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly, she communicated with me in a timely and detailed manner. My charges wer...e dismissed, and if I ever have any other legal needs, I will be using her. She is trustworthy, dependable and I feel so blessed to have met her.
