I have used Mr. Kraus in two legal matters and he has exceeded my expectations. His staff is exceptional, and they are very friendly and professional! I would highly recommend him and for those in need of legal assistance to consult with him. I will be hiring him again in the near future for other legal needs.

Let me say that this is the best trial lawyer for criminal defense in the entire state. Your always told by people that you have to go to Minneapolis or St Paul to find big time lawyers. But that is an assumption that they overlooked a man hiding in Waseca on the hill. He works like did when he starting his practice and in drooping by I've seen him prepping for a case by pacing back and forth to memorize every detail in his mind. Plus he as good at fast thinking and negotiating with hostile people as they come. When you need help and are in trouble call Tom or your going in alone and will still be paying for it in the end.

My fiancé & I have hire Tom several times in family law matters & other matters, he is excellent! Tom is very knowledgeable, well spoken, really listens to his clients and gets the job done and done well! We would very highly recommend him. He also has very professional staff who are easy to work with & very considerate in sensitive matters such as family law and child custody.

Tom and his staff were amazing to work with. I had a very difficult now ex-husband to deal with and he tried many different angles to make my life miserable and Tom and his staff were amazing. They handled themselves very professionally and worked for my best interest. I would highly recommend Tom for an attorney. He was amazing!

Tom handled my Pre-nup, and it was such a breeze. Tom pointed out things that should be changed, that I would have never thought of. I have called to ask a question and he either answers the phone himself or gets back to me within the day. Hopefully I will not need his services in the future, but if I do I know who to call.

My family started working with Tom in Feb 2015 when we needed a lawyer to gain custody of my step daughter. He was the only person that sat down, listened to us completely and understand how important this was to us. He took our case and from there on out we trusted him completely. He followed up on everything he told us he would, he exceeded our expectations with being prepared and figuring out next steps so we stayed ahead of everything. He represented us in court and we could not have been happier, we gained full custody of our daughter only because of Tom!!! He is the person who fought for our rights, he wouldn't back down because it was a difficult case or it would take a long time. Because of the time and effort Tom put into our case our daughter truly has a different life now and so do we as a family. I recommend Tom to everyone that asks about obtaining a lawyer, he was open, honest and upfront. Any time we need an attorney we turn to Tom and we will continue to do so. You couldn't ask for a better attorney. He changed our lives and everyday is a blessing due to the outcome of our case.

Tom has aggressively and professionally achieved multiple successes in my family law cases. From orders for protection, child custody, child support and veteran's rights protection! Tom's work has positively changed the lives of my family where other attorneys failed to succeed. He gave my family hope when we truly believed all hope was lost to save and protect my children and to bring sanity to a divorce/custody case that lasted nearly 13 years. Tom was able to save my child from an abusive environment and protect her from harm. He also succeeded in reducing my child support and protected my veteran's benefits. Tom is a fighter for you, will guide you through the process, and support you through tough times. He is more than what one would consider a "lawyer". He actually cares about you, has empathy for your situation, and does all the right things for the right reasons! When you are in a crisis, have had others tell you your case is hopeless, or really need a real person to help you, Tom will be there for you! On my cases, he devoted his own time to help us, always called us right away when we had questions and concerns, and is the best court room lawyer there is! The courts show obvious respect for him, and it felt so good to have Tom on our side in the court room as he was reassuring, positive, professional, ethical and is a champion for your rights!

I have retained Kraus law firm for civil, criminal, and family matters. I have not yet been disappointed in the services or the results I have obtained. Tom is always professional, compassionate, and honest. If a situation requires another lawyer with more experience and knowledge he is straightforward and does not waste time and money pretending that he can handle it better. Tom handles himself very well, he is sharp and professional in and out of the courtroom. I feel very confident having him handling my affairs and I have no qualms recommending him to people. Kraus law is where I've turned for the past 10 years and will continue to go for my legal counsel.

Attorney Kraus kept me informed about my case at all time, and he knew the workings of the law. He got me the result I was looking for. He was easy to talk to and knew what to do. I appreciated his professionalism.
