The Knowledge, Expertise, and Experience to Win
“Mike Kruse and his team were wonderful in helping me through a difficult time. It was overwhelming and I had no knowledge of the law. Mike and his team provided me with legal advice and guidance. I was always being informed of where we were in the process and what actions needed to be taken. He was quick to respond to my calls or emails. Both Mike and his team were kind and professional. I was happy with the outcome of my case. I would recommend Mike for any criminal case. He is worth the investment and will get the best possible results.”
“Kruse Law were very helpful in dealing with my assault with a weapon case. After a lengthy abusive relationship it was difficult to be able to talk about my situation but Anthony Andreopoulos and the team at Kruse law were compassionate hearing my story and in the end with their extensive knowledge were able to successfully defend me in court against all charges. They were very prompt in responding to any questions and concerns I had throughout what was a lengthy and confusing process of going to trial. I believe that I would not have been able to do it if it wasn’t for Anthony and the Kruse Law team.”
“Highly recommended!!! Mike Kruse and his team put incredible efforts into my case which resulted in an exceptional outcome. I was informed and updated at all times and Mike always went the extra mile to answer my questions even beyond the actual case. I couldn’t be more thankful!”

I highly recommend Mike Kruse. Thank you Mike.”
