Eliot Franklin Krieger

I can't thank Eliot Krieger enough for his help and very prompt response. He was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. He took a lot of time with me to discuss my issues and provide advice. He also said if I had any additional questions to feel free to call him again. I spoke to his office staff as... well and they were extremely helpful too. I highly recommend him!

I came to Jarvis, Krieger and Sullivan to handle my divorce. I discovered that my wife was secretly sending thousands of dollars of my money abroad to various deadbeat family members of hers. In the financial statements filed with the Court, she admitted nothing. I hired Jarvis, Krieger and Sulli...van and they did an incredible job. They hired a forensic accountant and were able to find that my wife in fact sent several hundred thousand dollars off-shore. Ultimately they got the court to award me 100% of the value of the money wired overseas (not just the 50% community interest I thought I had). They even got the Court to force her to pay my attorney’s fees. Although they are not the least expensive law firm, you get what you pay for. I did switch attorneys within the firm mid-way through my case, but it did not matter since both attorneys I worked with were superb. They always returned my calls and were masterful in court. On the first day I met with Eliot Krieger who asked me what I wanted out of the divorce. What I got far surpassed my expectations.

I recommend Eliot Krieger and his firm Jarvis, Krieger and Sullivan with 5 stars, 1000%. I was divorced 10 years ago, and things were going ok between me and my ex. We had 50/50 custody. Then I found out that my wife was going to move with the kids out of the state. My kids are still only 11 and... 13 – and I have a great relationship with them. I was ultimately assigned to an attorney who was amazing in Court. Eliot was always there to respond to issues, and the attorney who worked my case, Andrew Klausner, was amazing. My attorney made things so difficult for my ex in court and it become obvious that the Court would rule our way, that ultimately my ex “decided” not to move away. I was so scared that I was going to lose my kids. Without Jarvis, Krieger and Sullivan my kids would have lost their father. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

My case was rather complex, and Mr. Krieger and Mr. Klausner (see sdditional review under his name) were amazingly effective. My ex made allegations of domestic violence in an effort to avoid paying me spousal support. Her allegations also triggered a criminal investigation as well as DCFS inves...tigation. To further complicate matters my ex pilfered the bank accounts and liquidated our stock portfolio and hid the money. This made hiring an attorney on my part rather difficult. Not many attorney's like having broke clients. However, JK&S (Scott Jarvis personally) lowered their retainer fee so that the limited signature loan that I could arrange was able to get my case filed and started. Mr. Klausner was then able to obtain an order than my ex pay my legal fees. The firm was able to assist me through the divorce and criminal court process with very skilled lawyering. The firm achieved my highest expectations and exceeded them in so many ways. Their responsiveness is remarkable. The paralegal assigned to my case, Gina, was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. She was easy to reach by phone or email; and was always very aware of the details and the status of my case. JK&S were able to debunk the accusations of domestic violence made against me, and obtain 50/50 custody, and very favorable visitation time. Furthermore, they were able to obtain an order that my ex repay me for the assets that she pilfered. The team was very creative, and clearly out classed the husband and wife team of attorney's that my ex had hired. While opposing counsel was clearly knowledgeable, they were ineffective in countering the arguments of Mr. Klausner. Who also proved to be one of the most effective negotiators that I have ever seen. Mr. Krieger supervised my case, and met with me on a number of occasions to assist in the strategy development for both the divorce and criminal cases. His advice was right on target, and concluded my cases in a more favorable outcome than I could have imagined.

I am an over 50, professional male and last December I visited Eliot Krieger with the law firm of Jarvis & Krieger to represent me in filing for divorce. I selected the Jarvis & Krieger firm because they advertise that they will “provide a team of skilled lawyers” … “among the best in Califo...rnia” .. “that will care and fight very hard for me to win my case at a reasonable fee”… using their “skilled and competent staff”. “They will let me know my Legal Rights, Right from the Beginning” …. I’m a bit of an over-organized individual and went to Mr. Krieger with a complete summary of assets, expenses and history since the beginning of what was an eight year marriage. I had everything. Mr. Krieger provided an estimate of what fees I would incur provided there were no unexpected turn of events. After seven months of slow responses, documents that contained errors, an arbitration that was for more than what I could have settled with my spouse in the beginning, on my own, and legal fees that were approaching 2 ½ times the amount of the original estimate, I terminated their services. What I thought was a fairly straightforward case turned out to be more expensive from both a settlement perspective as well as my out of pocket legal fees and it was taking more time than what I believed to be reasonable. I would never use Eliot Krieger or the firm of Jarvis & Krieger for any future legal services.
