Hired Attorney

Mark came to the jail after the DEA raided my house. He told me it was all a mistake and he could make it go away. I paid him. I am doing 20 years now. He wont return my phone calls. Very disappointed.

Hired Attorney

I was very excited when attorney kriger came to see me in the county jail. He had seen me on TV and said he knew exactly what to do to get me out of my mess. I listened and hired him. My family paid his exorbitant fees based upon his promise I would not go to prison for more than a year. I felt relieved. My trial came and went. Attorney kriger had only one argument which did not even apply to my case. The judge sentences me to 20 years and I was shocked. Boy I wish I would have had kriger out his promises in writing upfront.

Hired Attorney

I recently hired attorney Mark Kriger and it just didn't go like he said it would quickly after I paid him. It was a simple theft case and it was my first time ever being involved with the criminal justice system. Attorney Kriger said I would for sure get probation but that is not what happened. The judge threw the book at me and gave me prison time I was not expecting. I wrote attorney Kriger while in prison but after multiple attempts at contacting him he has not responded.I am dissatisfied with his representation and I would shop around next time

Hired Attorney

I hired attorney Mark Kriger a while back and I was disappointed with his representation. He seemed very distracted by other things than focusing on my case. He showed up in court like he was suppose to but he failed to argue my position as he told me he would . I should have gone with a court appointed attorney but I just did not know

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
