Compassionate Attorney

My disabled aunt was struck by a pick up truck while walking across the street. On that chilly February day both our lives changed, as she would need someone to care for her forever. Over whelmed by the insurance confusion as she had recently moved from one state to another. So I was having to learn ...medicare, deal with 2 different states insurance while making sure my aunt had the correct medical care. Most people don't live when hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian, she lived but with a lot of surgery and time. All while still having to run my own life and jobs, Mr. Kraatz was my super hero. He stepped in front of the insurance steam roller and handled them. We were looking at over $400,000 worth of medical bills from so many entities I couldn't keep count. Mr. Kraatz spoke to me with compassion and allowed me to concentrate on what was most important, my aunts care. He also was compassionate with the man who hit my aunt, as he only had liability. So there was not enough money for all those bills and we didn't want to ruin someones life by suing him and putting him in a debt prison that he would never be free from. Most attorneys would have went for the throat no matter what, and Mr. Kraatz agreed with the decision and we let it go. He figured out who was the priority and handled it. I'm a believer and I know God will always provide for the means to care for my aunt. I'm so very grateful he spared her on that February day, I will gladly spend the rest of my life being her care giver. In an extremely stressful time I had a good lawyer in my corner, I highly recommend Mr. Kraatz.

Professionalism at a Next Level

Thank you for the sincerity and clarity throughout my entire process. I previously hired a different Attorney at start of my complicated case. I was hit by a truck in Downtown Fort Worth. After years of suffering, surgeries, and many headaches. I finally "saw light at the end of the tunnel". I'm so g...rateful for Ken and his staff. I was always notified of any changes and news, i was always able to express my concerns. I felt completely at peace with this attorney knowing he has a great heart. He's been a Guardian Angel in my life. I recommend him 110% his work is amazing.

Client

I was involved in my first ever automobile accident in August. I had no idea where to even start. I meet with Mr. Kraatz and he explained the whole process to me and was able to handle every aspect of my claim. He relieved all the stress involved with dealing with the insurance company. I was abl...e to concentrate on my medical treatment and worry about getting myself back to 100%.
