Rolf Kruger

After finding myself in the unfortunate situation of filing for a divorce, the first step for me was to find a good lawyer. After some research I spoke to about 4 of them and Rolf was one of them. Right in my first meeting, I felt Rolf clearly understood my situation and connected with me by hittin...g the right points so I chose him. I was not disappointed. Rolf was very knowledgeable, patient and most importantly ALWAYS available. I was amazed at how accessible he was to me whenever I had a question or needed guidance, most of my emails were answered within a matter of minutes even on weekends. There is once instance that clearly stands out to me, its when when I lost my cool with something my ex did not co-operate on - I was about to make some hasty decisions on going the court route (we were in mediation), and Rolf promptly shot that down and made me stick to our original plan of not aggravating things unnecessarily to keep costs down. I felt it was a very honest and wise advice from him that helped me in the long run. I am now divorced, while it may not be something I should celebrating - only thing I am sure of was that I made the right choice by picking you Rolf. Thank you!

Do you want the Yoda of divorce lawyers? Let me tell you my story: I started working with Mr. Rolf Kruger in 2017. However, it quickly became apparent that my family divorce matter was devolving into a convoluted mess. I could not afford Rolf or anybody who was of his caliber, as far as quality di...vorce attornies are concerned. My family case took five years. My Ex had many patents, many LLCs, dozens of high fees coming in, and real estate, in my case. On top of that, he filled erroneous civil cases suing me for millions (which I do not have). I spent the better part of four years, fighting off my ex-husband’s lawsuits. I met and interviewed 22 lawyers in Silicon Valley, and while many of them had a strong background in divorce matters, and I even worked with two of them for a while, I was not able to afford them for the duration of my case. In January of 2017, I was going through the long list of issues I needed to address and decided to connect with Rolf. Everything he sent me until now was mind-boggling. He and his staff worked on my case on consulting basis, he gave me ideas and opened the door explaining how should I talk to anybody in this case (lawyer or opposing a party or the judge), he was so objective, and subjective, His continuous emails, and responses to mine, his phone call with all new ideas, getting me introduced to certified forensic accountant, and patent experts, providing patent-based case information, link to the case laws like mine (which were public), I am thankful for all his hard work. I felt he worked within my budget, showed that he cared, patience, thoughtful and effective. His advice paid off. I sincerely and truly from the bottom of my heart thank Rolf and his team. I can move forward with my life 100% now. Best, Neeta

There were a few specific attributes I was looking for in an attorney whom I was going to hire to begin my divorce proceedings. 1. Attorney-Client relationship – an attorney who represents me and not just another divorce case, because every case is different, every partnership is unique, and a gen...eral rule is often not applicable. What impressed me the most about Rolf was he dedicated his time and effort at the beginning of the case and attentively listened, studied, learned, and understood who his client was and the specific circumstances of her case in order to tailor the representation. I have to say it was not an easy task for him considering that he had to gain an understanding of my decision-making perspectives, which in my case wasn’t easy, and to top that I had begun with lots of emotional baggage, disputes, and frustrations. His talent learned through experience, has proven to him that dissolving a partnership is not solely about financial separation, more importantly, is also about emotional separation, he artfully use a combination of intelligence and empathy. Rolf’s most impressive traits is his continual attention, and prompt responses to always be available to protect his client, even if it meant protecting me from myself, which built confidence, trust, and professional courtesy. 2. Expertise – a veteran attorney experienced enough to have seen it all, and ready to change course as needed. My case was like a roller coaster, facing obstacles at every turn. Rolf was experienced and skilled enough to weather the storms and remained firm, and his confidence was a strong anchor for me. 3. Ethical – although, it is natural to want to “win at any cost”, but what was important to me, to hire an attorney who follows the rules of professional conduct, and obtain the best results with intelligence, skill, proficiency, and ability to practice the law rather than through unethical means. Although, Rolf is aggressive with a purpose, and fights hard when facing challenges, but he never lost the sight of the big picture – obtain the best results for his client through gaining the confidence of everyone involved – opposing counsel, the judge, and of course his client with his intelligence and skills. 4. Attorney’s budget – an attorney that knows when to spent the money and when to be considered about the budget. Rolf, not only he never attempted to make my case about the money, but also he protected me from taking unreasonable risks and/or spending more money on the conflicts that had no merits. What moved me was his commitment to his client - he comforted me at times when I was concerned about sustaining my attorney’s budget, by ensuring that my representation will not be interrupted because of his fees. In addition, his law firm gives you a monthly report to where exactly the money was spent on.

Rolf , is the very best there is . He works beyond the call of duty and sticks to the facts . He is not like most lawyers that try to milk the Job. I have worked with Rolf now going on 20+ Years and he has never let me down. I am CEO of 3 company's and wish all lawyers were like Rolf. If they w...ere life would be much more easy.

I hired Rolf Kruger on the recommendation of a friend, and have not been disappointed. He has been a consummate professional, extremely responsive, very knowledgable about every aspect of California divorce laws and procedures , and most importantly, he and his team have cared about me and my situati...on personally, and have had my back throughout the entirety of this very painful process. Rolf is the ultimate advocate, meaning he supports me 100%, but is very flexible in terms of knowing when to be aggressive and when to pull back, depending on the situation. Unlike most lawyers, from Day One, he has done his utmost to base his entire strategy on trying to do the right thing by me while trying to minimize my legal costs. He proposed on multiple occasions to my wife's attorney to have the divorce settled through mediation, which would have saved me, and cost him, tens of thousands of dollars, only to be turned down by my spouse and her attorney. He has not only done an outstanding job representing me, but also has become a friend, which as you all know is very rare in this business. I couldn't make a higher endorsement or recommendation for anyone going through the painful process of divorce than by hiring Rolf Kruger.
