"Anthony and the Kruse Law Firm were invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. I was charged with sexual assault and throughout the entire process of forming a defense, meetings and the trial itself I felt Anthony and the fellow Kruse Law staff were supportive, kind and professional. Anthony’s tireless attention to my case enabled an acquittal of all charges. I would highly recommend Anthony and the Kruse Law Firm as the team to represent your criminal defense needs because of their exemplary work ethic and because of the successful outcome of my case."

"A year ago I was arrested for a very serious criminal charge, with potential jail time. This had been my very first offense and it brought a great deal of stress for me and my family. I am in my final year of school, about to graduate, and this charge would have been the end for me. All my 5 years of school would have been to waste, not to mention the amount of money gone, had I have gone to jail. I had the opportunity to work with Michael Kruse on my case. He was very calm, relaxed, and he paid great attention to detail. He was able to prep me in two weeks for my case. He was very knowledgeable and he made it very clear to me how I should present myself in court. I pled not guilty and after an intense three day trial , I was found not guilty and avoided a lengthy jail term. Without the help of Mr. Kruse and his team, my life and career would have been over, but we managed to pull through. I am in forever debt to them and I can now look back at this experience and further persue my career."

"When I was first charged with sexual assault, it felt like my entire world crashed. I knew that I hadn’t done anything wrong, and that I needed an experienced lawyer to handle my case. After doing my research, I chose Mike Kruse to represent me. His expertise was evident from our first conversation, and I knew I was in good hands. Mike and his team were there for me whenever I needed them and were willing to work with me to accommodate my chaotic work schedule. Mike put hundreds of hours into my case, and we met on many different occasions in preparation for my trial. He left no stone unturned. When that day came, Mike showed up to court on time, well prepared, and very well organized. He was able to point out all of the times that my accuser lied and changed his story, and was able to clearly show the court that what I was accused of simply could not have happened. It was a very long process, but hiring Mike Kruse and his team to handle my case was the best decision of my life. He truly is dedicated to his work and I would absolutely recommend him to anybody involved in the justice system."

"In March 2017, I got falsely accused and charged of a crime I did not commit by an ex-partner. It was the first time I’d ever been charged and I had a lot of uncertainty of what to do as I knew a conviction would change my life. My very first conversation was with Jodie who was awesome. She spent over 45 minutes on the phone with me providing me comfort, explaining the process, different possible paths through the court system, etc. At no point, did she try to sell the firm to me (in fact, she told me to shop around before making my decision). It was from that time I knew I was going to go with Kruse Law. Alec Fiszauf was assigned to my case and he was great. He had extensive experience in criminal law and it really showed as the case progressed. Right from the start, Alec believed my version of events and we knew we were going all the way to trial (at no point was a plea even suggested). Alec, Samantha, and Jennifer kept me up to date on the status of my case on a timely basis. They showed me nothing but respect from the very start and never doubted my innocence. Alec spent numerous hours in person with me going through all the disclosure, prepping me for examination and cross-examination, explaining the law, and answering any questions I had. Despite me repeatedly asking Alec what he thought of my chances, he never guaranteed anything and waited until all the complainant’s evidence and testimony came out in court (which, in hindsight, is what a good lawyer should do). Alec’s performance in court was great as he was able to ask the right questions of the complainant, while tight-roping around the complicated rules in law that exist in the area, and all the contradictions and lies came out. The judge rightfully picked up on; she spent 20 minutes of the 30 minute oral judgment listing out contradictions and implausibility of the complainant’s version of events. Lastly, Kruse Law has a number of experienced, seasoned lawyers (and former crowns). They know the system inside out, work together and don’t operate in silos. Throughout the process, Alec would bounce ideas off his colleagues and get their opinions on certain aspects of my case. When you hire Kruse Law, you have the firm behind you, not just one lawyer. You get what you pay for. I was very satisfied with the outcome and it was worth every dollar. I would highly recommend Kruse Law."

"I was charged with impaired driving and refusal to provide a breath sample. I hired Alec Fiszauf and he formulated a defense strategy and, although I had doubts about his plan, I went along with it and was acquitted on both charges. I was kept informed and led through every step of the process and I found the cost to be very reasonable. Of utmost importance to me is the fact that I was treated like a person instead of a mere case number by Mr. Fiszauf and his kind and wonderful staff."
