CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Peter Kratsa is truly an exceptional attorney. He goes above and beyond to achieve successful outcomes for his clients. I give him my highest endorsement and recommend him to you enthusiastically.
I was referred to Peter Kratsa through a friend who had amazing things to say about him. After speaking with him the first time, I knew why my friend thought so highly of him. You could tell, even on the phone, how much he cared about his clients & the outcomes of the cases he takes on. I felt like I finally had someone on my side who I could trust. Peter and his staff are always available to speak, promptly & they explain things in the clearest of ways so you fully understand your options. I am so pleased with working with him and I would recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.
Caroline Donato was hope to me and my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed constrained. Not only was she able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm/confidence and empathetic demeanor offered emotional/compassionate support to myself and those I care about most. My wife, children and I are eternally grateful for her profound knowledge and professional services. I hereby recommend Ms. Donato without reservation.
Lance has been very effective in fighting against a cynical attorney on my divorce case. I applaud his consideration for kids affected during divorce and always helped me to make decisions which are the best for my kids future.
As a single professional woman, I was looking for a new lawyer to update important documents, appropriate for my stage of life. A dear friend suggested I met and speak with Steve, who was her lawyer. It meant having to get a friend to drive me 40 minutes away. It was the best investment of time & gas I could have made…and I made myself a lifetime friend.
