Posted by anonymous | May 09, 2012 | Estate Planning

very Knowledgeable Estate Planning Attorney

I have used several Lawyers in the past & have found Mr. Krueger to be *Very* Knowledgeable when it comes to Estate Planning. Finding Errors in Wills & pointing out potential problems that other lawyers have missed - he is also very well known & respected by other lawyers in his field My only Com...plaint against Mr. Krueger would be the hourly rate he charges. compared to other lawyers which makes his services difficult for the average person to afford.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I would like to take this opportunity to write a review for Walt Krueger. That said, I want to write a “different” review. I have practiced law for 37 years. I have known Walt for 37 years. I have never had a case with or against Walt. I have, however, for over 37 years referred case to Walt and never received a complaint. I would like to redirect the focus of this review, not to having had cases with and against Walt but rather to “Ethics.” Walt had ethics 37 years ago in law school. Not all of our classmates did! Walt has maintained that high ethical standard for 37 years. In your search for a lawyer, search for competence and demand ethics. Your will get both from Walt Krueger."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
