Mr. Kruse was always straight with me on my options. I first met with him when considering divorce and I didn’t follow his advice and failed to file sooner. So I hired him when I needed to fix things. He understood my case and my concerns and continued answering questions after our case was closed. He took ownership when his paralegal made a mistake (her replacement was great!) and he dealt with abuse and drama from my ex’s attorney with complete professionalism. I hope I don’t need to, but I’ll hire him again if I need further action on our latest decision.

Brian started out strong for the first month... talked a big game. He then stopped replying to emails and phone calls for several weeks. He was supposed to file two motions but never did.... didn't care that my wife was not allowing me to see my son. Was also charged for work and time that wasn't done.

I met Brian last year, and the circumstances of my case were very hard and difficult to deal with. Let me say this, Brian was easy to work with, felt like he had my back from the day I retained his services. Let me give you a piece of advice when dealing with Brian, always tell the truth no matter what. If you give this man and his firm the truth and information he will fight for you and do the best job he can! I never lied to Brian i told him the truth about everything. He assured me over and over to trust him and while sometimes it was hard, Brian and his firm knew what they were doing. He assured me it was a marathon and not a sprint but to stay the course. It was the longest 12 months of my life but being a religious man and having Faith in God and in Brian I knew that I would be okay. As opposing counsel and my ex tried to use false restraining orders to gain the upperhand over and over, Brian tore them up and showed the truth! The thing that I admired about Brian that you don't see hardly anymore is that he would never take a shortcut or lie to gain the upperhand. He did it the old fashion way, hardwork and using the truth! He never once tried to take a fast shortcut to gain the upperhand, he just assured me that we needed to trust the system, and show the truth and put the work in and everything would be okay! Again easy to work with him and to set a plan. As time went out and Brian and I were able to show the truth to the court and the parties involved appointed by the court it was deemed that I should be awarded full custody and that I had the best interest for the children. That's my story in a nutshell, and to tell you where I came from and where I ended up Brian and his firm worked their tails off and got me custody of my kids! Their was times I spoke to Brian at 11 pm at night to have my mind put at ease or to go over my case, sometimes on the weekends, he always returned calls and emails. As a matter of fact my mother just passed away and after the custody and divorce was over he still reached out to me to let me know that he was sorry for my loss. I haven't had a lot of dealings with lawyers but I assure you of this he cares about his clients and he fights for them! I went from only being able to see my children based off lies from my ex to getting full custody as he fought hard for me. While I may sound like a broken record here, I am trying to show you the reader who may be looking for a lawyer that will fight for you, Brian is the man that you need to use! Thank you so much for your help, your partnership in walking with me as it was the hardest time of my life, but thank you! I am very thankful and when I looked you in the eyes and shook your hand I meant what I said! You took care of me like family, I won't forget that! I hope you nothing but the best, and hopefully I won't need you again but if I do, I know that I got the truth on my side and a lawyer and firm who will fight to win for my children and myself!

I hired Brian Kruse to represent me in a visitation matter regarding my child and regret not researching a capable lawyer more thoroughly. I trusted him with the most important matter I will ever face and he let me down miserably. Do your research and do not make the same mistake I did. To begin, his paralegal Kalli Allen makes multiple mistakes and I am shocked she is still employed considering she made countless errors sending to the wrong email address that compromised my personal information. When I was upset that she had sent things containing my name and information to a wrong email address she did not even offer up an apology. When I was served papers for interrogatories that I was expected to complete for discovery, she did not get them to me until 2 weeks past the filing date. My documents and answers were to be submitted by me within 28 days of the filing, and Kalli’s mistake set me back 2 weeks worth of time I could have to find all the necessary paperwork I needed. Again, no apology. As a full time working single parent, I had to scramble and stay up late to complete the interrogatories in a rushed manner due to this major oversight. As for Brian, I cannot recommend him due to the fact that he does not care a bit about his clients. If you are looking for someone you can trust with something as near and dear to you as your children’s future and the time you spend with them, I suggest you look for a caring and competent attorney. He made me feel as if asking a question was bothersome and he brushed off my concerns as if they were no big deal. If I needed clarification, he would audibly sigh before giving me a curt and monotone response. Even his appearance speaks volumes about his lack of professionalism, he did not bother to comb his hair and often wore wrinkled dress shirts and looked disheveled. He did not show up to the pretrial but luckily his very capable and compassionate colleague Craig Sams appeared on his behalf. In hindsight I would have hired Mr. Sams instead as he answered my questions in a courteous manner and made me feel as if he genuinely has his client’s best interest. After spending nearly $4,000, I can honestly say that it was money wasted on an attorney that does not care about anything except for his paycheck.

As I went through the most difficult point of my life, Mr. Kruse was an answer to my prayers. He’s hardworking, dedicated and professional. He fought hard for me and my children within the court room and behind the scenes. If you’re looking for someone to fight the good fight and stand firm in your corner, Mr. Brian Kruse is your guy! What a blessing!

He was personable at first but always wanted to settle. He gave me poor advice. Even my new attorney is shocked at some of the advice he gave me. Probably ok if your case is easy.

Brian is an phenomenal attorney! He represented us in a child custody case and made sure our daughter received everything she was entitled to and then some. Even when we would have been happy to just walk away simply ensured of her safety he made sure that we got the settlement she deserved. From day one he was open, honest, patient and understanding, but yet a bull dog when it came to our case. At no time did he sugarcoat any details, yet he presented them in a straight forward, down to earth manner. He was amazing with our daughter and was able to relate to her directly and make her comfortable in a stressful situation. You can tell he has abiding love for children which when combined with his strong sense of justice and unparalleled knowledge in the field of family law he is the exact person you want on your side when the chips are down! Dealing with him and his staff was always a pleasure. They kept us informed, answered all questions quickly, completely and made every effort to keep billable hours to a minimum. I honestly couldn't recommend Brian and his firm any higher!

Phenomenal in every aspect of my case. Better than I expected; and I expected greatness. I got it and then some. I could not be happier with Counselor Kruse. He has the knowledge, experience, personality and preparation to outperform opposing council and win your case. I will be a lifelong client and will be honored to refer anyone who needs help to him. You will be happy with Attorney Kruse because he is a Winner. He is the Best at what he does hands down.

Brian was an amazing lawyer. He always made himself available to talk, meet and discuss the case. He kept the children's best interest at heart through the entire process. Brian was very professional, organized, and worked fearlessly to get us the best result possible! I highly recommend him to anyone!

Brian is hands down the most compassionate lawyer in the business as you navigate through one of the most difficult times in your life. Throughout my proceedings, Brian always put myself and my children at the forefront to get us the best results not only for myself, but also for The best interests of my children. Thank you Brian for all you have done for myself and my family. You are the best around hands down. Bless you!

Brian ensured that we had a long term plan on getting the best legal agreement. Multiple times he recommended a different course of action than I originally sought, and each time his focus on 'the best long term' has proven correct. Now over a year from the final agreement I am highly grateful for having a solid agreement that is best for my children and me.

I hired Brian to handle a protection order and divorce. During a very emotional time, he was understanding but also made sure I knew what needed to be done. He was thorough and professional, even when dealing with a less than cooperative opposing attorney. He understood that my priority was my son and made that his top priority. He was responsive to all questions and made sure to steer me clearly through new processes such as supervised visits. Should the need arise, I would use Brian again.
