Roger and his team understand the specific goals, strategizes various alternatives, and is willing to put in the long hours and careful thought to best serve his clients. The best word to say about Roger and his practice is "bulldog" in and out of the courtroom

Was able to provide much needed advice quickly. Thank you 🙏

I was in need of a good attorney to adequately represent me in court and to negotiate a solid deal on my behalf. I found both of these qualities in Attorney Berk and his firm. I would highly recommend Attorney Berk for your legal needs. Thanks Again Attorney Berk for you Excellent Representation!!!!

Twice I've needed a solid attorney to be responsive without charging a fortune...twice I've called on Stephen and twice he has delivered... I cannot recommend him enough ... truly, a 5 star lawyer

The Krause Law Firm represented my brother and I in a wrongful death of my mom. He is very professional and understanding. And was able to answer and explain all the neccessary steps that should be taken. I highly recommend him for anyone dealing with death of a family member and all of your legal needs. Yolanda

We do not recommend Attorney Michael S. Katz, Decatur, GA. We were experiencing issues with the construction of our home due to construction delays, defective workmanship, and liens being filed due to the non-payment of contractors. In April 2009, we hired Mr. Katz to assist us in remedying the construction issues. Mr. Katz's first letter to the builders was sent on June 11, 2009. While we worked on obtaining estimates for home repairs and started working on those repairs, Mr. Katz refrained from pursuing the case, as he stated the damages were not fully ascertained. By 2011, the cost of repairs was fairly well established. As such, on April 25, 2011, Mr. Katz sent a letter to the opposing attorney regarding the case. Consequently, on September 13, 2011, Mr. Katz sent a letter to the builders advising them of the cost to complete the work needed on our home, a list of damages, and enclosed invoices associated with those cost. Although Mr. Katz sent this letter, he did not immediately move forward with arbitration. By March 2012, nothing further had been done to move the case forward. We were frustrated with the lack of progress and sent a certified letter to Mr. Katz. Despite this letter, Mr. Katz did not move forward with the arbitration request until six months later. Finally, on October 1, 2012, Mr. Katz filed a Demand for Arbitration. The Demand was not personally served on the builders until October 28, 2013, over a year later. On February 26, 2014, Arbitration notified Mr. Katz that the arbitration process had been initiated. The builder subsequently hired a new attorney in July 2014. On September 11, 2014, Mr. Katz sent a letter to arbitration, advising that we were ready to move forward with the proceeding and requesting that the arbitration be scheduled. On June 25, 2015, an arbitration hearing was set for October 26, 2015. On November 4, 2015, the Arbitrator signed the scheduling order, which required that all discovery be completed by February 12, 2016. The order also set the arbitration for March 28, 2016. On November 18, 2015, the builders hired a new attorney, which in return notified Mr. Katz of the representation, and setting the depositions for us on December 4, 2015. The week before those depositions, Mr. Katz notified him that he had a criminal case conflict for the date of the depositions, taking us off the calendar. The rescheduling of the depositions was set for January 2016. We were not notified of the rescheduling, therefore, the depositions did not take place. Throughout this time, Arbitration sent regular invoices to all parties. On December 23, 2015, a case manager with arbitration emailed both attorneys seeking payment of outstanding invoices and gave a deadline by February 15, 2016. Mr. Katz did not pay by February 15 and never responded to arbitration. Arbitration closed its file on our claim on April 26, 2016. The arbitration firm deemed the arbitration dismissed or abandoned on that date. After the dismissal of the arbitration, Mr. Katz did nothing further to pursue our case. On October 26, 2016, the six-month statute to refile our claim expired. Additionally, Georgia's 8-year statute of repose on negligent construction claims expired on June 17, 2017. As a result of Mr. Katz's failure to refile the claim prior to the expiration of the renewal statute and the statute of repose, we are now precluded from ever recovering on our claim. On June 29, 2018, over two years after dismissal, Mr. Katz sent us a letter withdrawing from the representation. Mr. Katz never notified us about his decision to dismiss and/or abandon the arbitration. He made the decision unilaterally, despite it was contrary to our instructions. We feel that Mr. Katz breached the standard of care and his fiduciary duties to us.

I really appreciate the hard work. My family is finally at some peace thank you Mr Krause. He’s the best recommend any one with wrongful death to go with them! They are the best!
