Kruger Rolf D, Attorney At Law

Called his office for a consultation and was barraged with financial screening questions instead of legal topics. Wanted to know how much equity I had in my house, etc. even before meeting… Poor taste, thanks for the heads up before the shakedown.

There were a few specific attributes I was looking for in an attorney whom I was going to hire to begin my divorce proceedings.
1. Attorney-​Client relationship — an attorney who represents me and not just another divorce case, because every case is different, every partnership is unique, and a general rule is often not applicable.
What impressed me the most about Rolf was he dedicated his time and effort at the beginning of the case and attentively listened, studied, learned, and understood who his client was and the specific circumstances of her case in order to tailor the representation. I have to say it was not an easy task for him considering that he had to gain an understanding of my decision-​making perspectives, which in my case wasn’t easy, and to top that I had begun with lots of emotional baggage, disputes, and frustrations. His talent learned through experience, has proven to him that dissolving a partnership is not solely about financial separation, more importantly, is also about emotional separation, he artfully use a combination of intelligence and empathy. Rolf’s most impressive traits is his continual attention, and prompt responses to always be available to protect his client, even if it meant protecting me from myself, which built confidence, trust, and professional courtesy.
2. Expertise — a veteran attorney experienced enough to have seen it all, and ready to change course as needed.
My case was like a roller coaster, facing obstacles at every turn. Rolf was experienced and skilled enough to weather the storms and remained firm, and his confidence was a strong anchor for me.
3. Ethical — although, it is natural to want to «win at any cost», but what was important to me, to hire an attorney who follows the rules of professional conduct, and obtain the best results with intelligence, skill, proficiency, and ability to practice the law rather than through unethical means.
Although, Rolf is aggressive with a purpose, and fights hard when facing challenges, but he never lost the sight of the big picture — obtain the best results for his client through gaining the confidence of everyone involved — opposing counsel, the judge, and of course his client with his intelligence and skills.
4. Attorney’s budget — an attorney that knows when to spent the money and when to be considered about the budget.
Rolf, not only he never attempted to make my case about the money, but also he protected me from taking unreasonable risks and/​or spending more money on the conflicts that had no merits. What moved me was his commitment to his client — he comforted me at times when I was concerned about sustaining my attorney’s budget, by ensuring that my representation will not be interrupted because of his fees. In addition, his law firm gives you a monthly report to where exactly the money was spent on.
My case certainly wasn’t peaceful until the very last day, and it could have easily been turned into a major litigation before signing the final settlement. In the end, we settled the dispute owing to Rolf’s litigation skills and his expertise to perfecting the path. For this, I will forever be grateful to him, and wish him and his future clients all the success — highly recommended.

Rolf and his firm were invaluable to me during an extremely difficult time in my life. They have vast expertise in complex legal issues. They are responsive and give you their personal attention. I recommend them without hesitation.

Rolf had represented my dissolution of marriage case at the «outbound» of it — not only did he originally totally lost my custody case but later he put me in the unfavorable situation in the financial part by strongly insisting on using private judge when this measure was neither beneficial nor time consuming. He will be extremely self confident on his advises when most of them actually work to the benefit of the other side. But all of these would be covered by perfectly polite communications when you would think that the necessary job is been done.

Rolf represented me in a legal matter in 2008. Rolf was always professional, he was quick to respond to e-​mail/​telephone calls, and he knew his stuff. The staff was also always helpful, courteous, quick to respond, and seemed very good at their jobs. I would not hesitate to use Rolf again, or to recommend Rolf to a friend.

Rolf is a subject matter expert in the area of divorce and family law. I hired him when I was divorcing and can attest that he does first rate work. He is detail oriented, proactive and well regarded as being at the top of his field.
I recommend him without reservation on family law matters, as well as other business matters. In terms of his fees, he is not the least expensive that you will find by far — so if you are looking for a cheap quick solution, Rolf Kruger and FKKB are probably not right for you. However, if you are looking for the absolute best work, and if you understand that you get what you pay for in life, then I can attest that the fees that he charges, measured against the results and performance of his work, are beyond reproach. Additionally, Rolf’s team of partners and senior associates are also first rate. The firm of FKKB are able to handle a myriad of non-​Family Law related matters.
Since working with him in 2004 – 2005, I have referred him to many of my clients and friends, and they have all had spectacular results. Due to the quality of his work, my referrals and I have all experienced the satisfaction of being able to sleep at night with the confidence of knowing that the legal issues that required attention were solidly handled.

Rolf handled my case amazingly. Not only was he responsive and timely, but he was professional and well versed in his practice. I felt confident leaving the stressful legal matters to him and knew he was a man with a plan. I’ve had attorneys in the past for various legal matters who would duck and dodge my calls but Rolf was always there for me with any questions and concerns that came up. The outcome of my case was better than expected and I’m very happy I used his services. I actually rarely use Unilocal unless I’m going to complain about something (as most do) but I felt like I wanted to let others know how helpful he was to me and my family.
