Reviews
I used Jim and his associates in two difficult cases recently. Both were complex and challenging and represented significant potential risks for me personally and professionally. Jim was extremely wise and empathetic in his counsel and offered seasoned advice that resulted in better outcomes than I had ever expected. He was extremely responsive and always available regardless of day or time. He brings a unique personal commitment to his clients that results in a sense of security and comfort that is unique in his profession. He is highly competent and experienced and I would highly recommend Jim and his firm for any legal need.
James Krasnoo is by far the most knowledgeable law professor you cold Hire to defend you. He teaches law. So he knows it better than most. Amazing lawyer, man and familk man. Hiring him will never disappoint
Attorney Krasnoo is a very knowledgeable and professional attorney. He takes as much time as needed to explain the details and answer any questions. I highly recommend attorney Krasnoo.
One of the best Attorneys I ever had. i got very good results from my case i recommend it to everyone.
Jim defended me in a bogus Abuse Prevention Order (209A) as part of nasty child custody case. Jim, not only successfully had the order vacated, but also created new Massachusetts case law in the process (ensuring that future Massachusetts fathers and families will not suffer as my family and I did). Most importantly he created the critical time needed save my marriage, minimize family trauma, and protect my career. Jim Krasnoo is head and shoulders above every attorney (and Judge) in the courthouse, and the guy you want fighting for you when the odds are stacked against you. I can't say enough good things about this man....
Jim assisted not only myself but my family and friends in navigating the very complex, and sometimes frustrating, United States Department of Justice System. Jim was able to help me understand the entire process, my options, and potential outcomes, both the good and the not so good. He always made time for me when I had questions, thoughts, ideas, or just needed someone not in my family to talk to during this most difficult time in my life. One of the things I admired, and frankly appreciated, about Jim was his honesty throughout the process. He had the very difficult conversations and was always professional, caring, and understanding. I would consider my case one that probably should not have even made it to court but the system did not allow for someone not to pay with time served. Jim was able to negotiate the best possible outcome he could, consulting with me throughout the entire process. As much as I appreciate Jim and his staff, I pray that I never need his professional services again. However if you should every find yourself or a loved one in need of professional and caring assistance to help mitigate a legal situation Jim is someone, I would and will always recommend.
