Opportunity for a New Life

I was facing the possibility of years in prison when I called Daniel Kruse for help. While I had not heard of Mr. Kruse before, fortunately I chose him from a list of attorneys I had found online. I appreciated the initial consultation he provided, never rushing me, instead taking all the time neede...d for him to hear about the circumstances of my situation. At the conclusion of that consultation, I hired Mr. Kruse as my attorney. He visited me while I was in jail and kept in constant touch with me afterwards as he worked on my case. Because of Mr. Kruse's efforts, the most serious charge against me was dismissed, meaning I avoided prison time. While I pled guilty to the second charge against me, I was given credit for time served and did not have to return to jail. Mr. Kruse is professional, knowledgeable, effective, has excellent communication skills, and on top of all that, he's a nice guy, which really helps a lot when a person finds themselves in such a bad situation. While not wanting to sound too dramatic, bottom line, I believe Mr. Kruse saved my life by helping me avoid prison time, and I will always be grateful for his help and for the opportunity I've now been given to change my life for the better.

Excellent 5-Star Attorney

Daniel Kruse, Attorney at Law, represented me with the utmost professionalism and expertise. He is excellent in knowledge and in application of that knowledge to serve his clients. He demonstrated his genuine care for me as his client, clearly communicated with me, and made himself available to me wh...enever I had questions, concerns or comments regarding the case. He was patient, respectful, calm, and collected. I had his full support throughout the entire process. I am relieved to report we won. Daniel is brilliant and I could not have asked for a better attorney. He is the best!

Calming and knowledgeable

I have obtained Daniel Kuse. He has been very knowledgeable and has calmed the nerves of the person who he was hired to defend. He is willing to work hard and has fair prices compared to what I was bein quoted through this process. He took into consideration my inability to come up with more money so... we agreed on a flat fee to do the work that it was goin to take. He has kept me in the loop through the process so that my partner didn’t feel the need to tell me things about the case while he was in jail.

"Dan is a passionate and capable attorney. I knew Dan while in law school and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the hardest working an intelligent attorneys I've ever met. I've consulted with him about Oregon law on more than one occasion. I've referred potential clients to him and will continue to do so. Anyone needing representation in Oregon, especially in the Eugene area, would do well to retain his expertise."
