Client Success Stories
Read What Past Clients Had to Say

We could not have been happier with the firm of EKG.
“They took their time and clearly explained the legal process and what their approach to the case would be. Needless to say, we hired EKG and could not have been more satisfied with their service.”
- L.S. -
Thank you very much EKG!
“I felt very comfortable with Bill’s approach to the trial. He and the firm’s investigator spent a lot of hard work on the case - going to the scene and taking video and photographs, interviewing witnesses and prepping me for my testimony.”
- H.S. -
I am so glad that I hired EKG to handle my case.
“Attorneys Krippendorf & Eisenstadt were upfront and honest with me about my chances of an acceptable plea deal because of my bad record. I understood this and appreciated them not throwing a bunch of BS my way.”
- L.O. -
They made a very bad situation much easier to deal with.
“I thought I was going to lose everything I had until that first court hearing in probate court. The judge immediately agreed with Ed’s arguments and the next week, Joe had the restraining order dismissed.”
