Hired Attorney Jeffrey Kradel

I was the target of a complicated and serious federal drug trafficking investigation by the DEA. An initial experience with another defense firm shattered my trust. Thankfully, I was introduced to Jeff Kradel before proceeding much further. Jeff practices with transparency, operates within clear ethical boundaries and provides guidance that is realistic and straightforward, and is most importantly trustworthy. As a client in a very difficult situation, having an attorney like Jeff who will tell you how it is, in terms you can understand, is very important. I felt that Jeff always gave me his best advice, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Taking his advice, saved me years of my life. I would recommend Jeff to anyone I love because I know he will represent them with the utmost integrity and give them peace of mind in the worst of situations, as he did for me.

Working with Jeff was a god send! i was really up the creek and in trouble. i was facing gun charges with threats to kill and looking at some serious time. When Jeff met me in (in jail) he stayed by my side and let me know what to expect at all twists and turns. During his questioning of their Island County) star witness who is a three time felon, Jeff was able to weave in and out of the BS and get to the truth. I said it all along that i didn't do it. Jeff had my back NO QUESTION! I would recommend Jeff in a heartbeat and I have many times over. If you’re reading this. You have no reason to look any further Jeff is your guy. GO

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Kradel

If there is any doubt about hiring Mr. Kradel let me tell you my story. I hired Jeffrey to represent in two separate cases involving felony domestic violence charges. I friend of mine told me about Mr. Kradel and the success he has with him so I followed suit. First off I have never met an attorney that text back within 10 minutes every-time. While in court he would respond to a text saying he would get back to me when he’s done. You won’t have to worry about paying him and not having communication. That brings me to my second comment. He is way fair when it comes to his services he’s in it for the right reasons. From the first day he took my case he starts. He breaks it down and devises his strategy and gameplan. You won’t have to ask him questions cause after you talk to him he lets you know everything you wanted to know. Very intelligent and I wouldn’t trust my freedom with anyone else. All charges dismissed. Hope I won’t need him again but he will always be in my contacts.

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Kradel

After meeting with several prospective attorneys, I chose Jeff Kradel to represent me in my criminal case. Jeff was knowledgeable, communicative, confident, and extremely familiar with the Snohomish County court system where my case was being tried. I am so thankful that Jeff was able to get my case dismissed. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney!

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Kradel

Jeffrey Kradel helped me with a possession charge in which he was able to get all charges completely dropped in a matter of weeks. He was always available to answer any of my questions, in fact, I never went more than 24 hrs without a response. He proved able to build successful relationships with the prosecution, which resulted in a dismissal. {para}It has been over a year since my charges were dropped, when I had more questions regarding my arrest. I emailed Jeffrey and within a couple hours he ha

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Kradel

Jeff Kradel refuses to give appropritae and factual evidence in this case which he already knows is fictitious from the start. Mr. Kradel is only interesed in making other parties stressed out and whatever achieves his finanaciall outcome. I do not trust him and he should be barred from being an attorney.
