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.

We Highly Recommend Mrs. Kruse!

We hired Mrs. Kruse for help with Power of Attorney during a really rough time. She was very kind and always answered all of our MANY questions and at the end even asked if we had any other questions. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I would highly recommend Mrs. Kruse as she is very prof...essional, prompt to return calls, emails and truly very a caring attorney!

Good Legal adviser to have on your side.

When it came time for me to hire an attorney, a friend of mine recommended that I contact Valerie. She took my case and we made the deal over the phone. She did what she could with what she had to work with. However she made it possible for me not to have to commute once a month to meet with a proba...tion officer, she helped me get early release from probation, and she was with me when I met with my probation officer after court which was very important to me. The probation officer didn't enjoy it that much but I felt better having her there for good reason. Valerie was also very good at emailing, calling and texting me back when necessary. She kept me well informed about deals and things going on with my case. I recommend her as an attorney.

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.
