Best firm in my eyes, I have been dealing with Jason Fletes since 2007 and on June 24, 2015 we finally had our day in court, the reason it took so long is because I live on the west coast and I had to plan my vacation around this issue, but I will say this, watching Mr. Fleets in charge in the court room was remarkable, he's VERY knowledgeable and respectable in the area of his profession, I highly recommend this firm to anyone.

We were going through some very stressful events, leading this office to be referred to us by a friend of a friend. The last thing we could imagine having to do was pay a lawyer for an event we had no control over. We sat down with Mark Beam-Ward and have never been so happy to meet a lawyer in our lives. He was very straightforward, pulled no punches and showed us a light at the end of the tunnel. And the office staff was a delight to work with!

My wife and I sought legal advice on a wrongful termination matter. My wife contacted six different attorneys. All six attorneys refused to have any sort of meaningful discussion with us concerning the case. They either said no without looking at our documents or refused to return calls. I made one last try and called Beam-Ward, Kruse, Wilson, Wright & Fletes. They heard me out and looked at the documents. They took the time to explain to us why our case wouldn't work. I'm very pleased.

Hired Attorney Jason Fletes

Mr. Fletes has been our company's attorney for several years now and with good results. He is forthright helping navigate the legal side of business operations on the good, the bad and the ugly with items ranging anywhere from collections and potential litigation for non-payments to in-depth contract reviews and contract drafting as a few examples. The knowledge he provides through the years of his in-court appearances and understanding of the different "personalities" within counties and municipalities, along with diligent research of case law to provide a basis for his advise, has provided us the ability to make an educated decision on legal matters in a more cost effective manner. To put it another way, he has told us the "ugly" we didn't hope to hear on something he knew, backing up his advise based on experience and case -law research, rather than continued billing of the retainer. He has also been a good resource for quality referrals to other attorneys or firms on legal matters.

Jason helped me a lot, he walked me through the painfully process of a divorce and guide me on the options and steps to follow, always giving me good advise and explaining every detail, very professional.

Working with Jason was a great experience! Because I lived in another state, flexibility and responsiveness were key components for my decision in selecting an attorney. This attorney was very knowledgeable about the probate process. Jason was almost always available via telephone, and email and if he wasn't, his paralegal picked up where he left off and completed the task. This entire process ran smoothly without any issues. I highly recommend Jason Fletes as your legal representation for Wills and Probate!

Hired Attorney Kevin J. Kruse

This exceptional man fought for 5 long years for my injury case. My case was opened in 2005 and settled in 2010. I was awarded future medical for the remainder of my natural life, and if any issue arises from the third party payer, he still continues to represent me and my best interests. I would recommend Kevin J. Kruse, and only Kevin J. Kruse to anyone who is looking for a dedicated, kind to his clients, will fight for you to the bitter end attorney.
