Worse and irresponsible attorney

Bill Kroger not an attorney that can be trusted. Took the money never call you back until you have to call him and asked for the update of the case. After that he will said sorry Catch 22 mean dead lock. Promised to refund the money then the bookeper said Sorry can't and good luck because I wrote bad... reviews on the Yelp so attorney won't call me back. In the Yelp Bill said his office called multiple times. Again lying. His office only called once when they requested the retainer fee. After that nope. I was the one made calls to discuss with Bill but never he called me back.

Thank you!

I was pulled over on the Fourth of July and was arrested for a DUI. Stupid mistake but I reached out to Mr. Kroger and he was able to get my DUI dismissed! I don’t know how he did it but I can not thank him enough. I’m a uber driver and it’s my main source of income so he basically saved my life. Tha...nks again Bill!

The only Attorney I will recommend!

I needed a criminal defense attorney, through many deep breaths, I found Bill Kroger. He made me feel so comfortable though his experience and confidence that I hired him immediately. Thank you to Bill Kroger and his staff for taking such great care of me and lifting a huge weight off my shoulder. ...He is the only attorney I will recommend to family and friends. Bill is the real deal, honest, trusting, and hard working. Thank you!

William Kroger kept me out of jail, I thank him everyday for my freedom

I have worked with Mr. Kroger for several years and have used him on many different cases. He has always proved to be the best choice for me as my criminal lawyer. My issues have been everything from my landlord wanting to evict me for marijuana use to helping me understand the ins and outs of the ...K2 spice synthetic cannabis world and the US analogue act. He is part lawyer, part chemist but mainly an honorable guy. Voted #1 lawyer in my book!
