Medical Marijuana Criminal Case All chargers were dropped

William Kroger. I cannot express our families appreciation enough for what Mr. Kroger has done. He amazes me with his honest to the point conversations held in his office. He has a way of comforting you and relieving the stress that comes with a legal matter. We have retained Mr. Kroger on multiple o...ccasions and have gotten to know him and respect his knowledge and experience with the legal system. I am always amazed with the professional manner he handles himself in the courtroom. Mr. Kroger has a way to stand out in the crowd and with his confidence in the court of law, he gains the respect of his fellow attorneys along with the Judges. Mr. Kroger is a criminal defense lawyer although our family was involved with a terrible civil case and he took it on. my understanding this is not something he usually does. Words cannot express how much he has done for us. Without getting into specifics, he has defended our family where the outcome could have been much worse than it did. I don't know if he realizes this but he has been a big influence for a specific member of our family. Before I end, I must bring up the fact that he actually travel to northern California to represent a family member. This to me is something you will not find often, and reflects his loyalty to his clients. Thank you Mr. Kroger and your whole staff for being there for us. I would suggest to anyone who requires the best of a defense attorney to contact his office for his legal services. I could go on forever writing about how much he has supported us, but the bottom line is thank you Mr. Kroger and you are the best!! You have changed his life!!

William Kroger is the best Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles

William Kroger is the best defense lawyer in Los Angeles. His offices are in Beverly Hills but is prices are reasonable. He travels to most court houses in the greater Los Angeles area. I usually hate dealing with Lawyers but Bill made the whole experience easy and stress free on my end. He started ...working on my case immediately and his associate Buddy kept me updated with the progress. I was referred to his Law Office by a friend and will definitely refer him to my friends in the future. Hands down if you need a Defense Lawyer in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles call Bill. He handles Medical Marijuana cases, DUI, Major Traffic Violations, and so much more.

Thank you Attorney William Kroger!

Thank you Attorney William Kroger! A good friend recommended Mr. Kroger as a criminal defense lawyer. I could not have had a better recommendation. I had outstanding violations and one had turned into a warrant. I was amazed at Mr. Kroger ability to fight my case. He was able to dismiss my fines and... penalties. I have never seen any one work the Los Angeles court system Like Mr. Kroger. His experience and ease working with the courtroom was incredible. He has a great bedside manner I felt the stress lift as soon as I hired him. His staff is helpful friendly and efficient. He saved me thousands of dollars in fees and penalties. I feel so thankful and grateful that my case was dismissed. This could have only happened with a consummate professional.

Awesome attorney

I had a white collar crime (copyright infringement) case to go to court for. Met up with a few law firms and found such a huge variation in prices. Kroger's was one of the low prices I found. I was very nervous because my case was a felony case that could have result in 5 years imprisonment. Tr...ial happened. Not only I didn't get prison time, but Kroger got my case dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor! AWESOME. Which means, my professional career was saved since many companies don't want to hire felons. Kroger knows his stuff. Was very informative and responsive. Gave me peace of mind during the process. Seems like one of the few ones out there that actually gives a sh*t. Cool guy.

Great result with my case. He always kept me informed.

I hired Mr Kroger to deal with my criminal case in Los Angeles. He and his associate really did a great job keeping me out of jail and ultimately I will get the case reduced to a misdemeanor and then knocked off my record. He was always very informative and returned all my phone calls and email.
