Superb Lawyer

I found Ms. Kralowec on avvo.com when she responded to a question I posted. When I needed to actually get detailed legal advice, I called her because she is in the same city where I live. She agreed to make one phone call to the other side's lawyer for a small contingency fee, then did way more tha...n that. She spent a lot of time on the phone with me, getting up to speed on my case, then reviewed the court documents so that she was fully prepared for that one phone call with the other attorney - which turned into several calls. She was very proactive about calling me to give me updates and advice, and although my claim is too small for her to be able to represent me in the next steps I have to take, she gave me enough information and advice that I have been able to file the right motion on my own behalf. I would not be where I am in this case today without her guidance. If I prevail, it will be in no small part because of her involvement in my case. I feel like I got really really lucky when I found her.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
