Where can I begin writing of Krasner Law, PLLC. My father originally retained them for an uncontested divorce after the original attorney I found was by far not up to par. They have been absolutely wonderful and patient with my father who is hard of hearing. We were both so happy with them dad once again retained them to do his Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy. Most recently he retained them to do his Will. We cannot begin to express how wonderful Leona Krasner, Esq., and Rey Hulme Esq., have been. They take the time to answer any of your questions or concerns via email or by phone with no hesitation. This is a true God honest law firm who truly care about their clients and we have personally dealt with a few and they are truly one of the BEST and outstanding! God in heaven was certainly watching over us when he sent Krasner Law to us. We highly recommend them and would most certainly use them again for any of our needs that the firm handles. Thank you Krasner Law!
