"I highly recommend Doug Kraus. He was always there when I needed him, consistently on time, and incredibly supportive throughout my case. His professionalism, dedication, and expertise made a significant difference, and I truly appreciate everything he did for me. If you need a reliable and knowledgeable attorney, look no further!"

"The firm requires $250-275 just for a consultation. They have the tag as providing "employment lawyers" but for those seeking assistance after being unfairly terminated, it's unfair to require so much money up front just for a consultation with no guarantee of legal representation."

"I worked with Doug Kraus. He made the process quick, easy to follow and efficient. He was extremely responsive, and even made time for me on Sunday’s to discuss my case. Every time I sent him an email, he responded immediately. He was also very knowledgeable, which gave me a sense of calm at a difficult time. His pricing was fair, and he accomplished everything we set out to accomplish, and more. I would absolutely recommend using Doug Kraus. If I have any further needs, I certainly will go back to this firm."

"Excellent without a doubt. I spoke with 3 different legal teams when looking to hire an attorney for my case, and after speaking with Susannah McKinney, there was no doubt in my mind that she has experience, in-depth knowledge base of Louisiana law, and the aptitude to follow through and communicate clearly. It was a seamless process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not every case is won, but your best case will be made by her undoubtedly. I recommend her without reservation."
