What Our Clients Say

Krista was instrumental in helping deal with legal issues regarding my building. She was tireless in making sure things were handled so that we had a great outcome for our side of the lawsuit. Krista is friendly, kind and a fantastic advocate. She cares deeply about fighting for what is right and handled herself professionally throughout the process! She is both warm and approachable while also being knowledgeable in her field.

Kathleen K.

HOA/Fraud Litigation

Krista Krepp is the type of attorney that brings a new definition to what it means to be a zealous advocate. In client interaction Attorney Krista Krepp is one of the most kind and patient attorneys I have ever seen. She meets people at a frustrating point in their case as they go from pre-litigation to litigation. The people she works with have had to endure varying medical procedures, insurance companies low balling offers for settlement, and an array of personal consequences due to the accident and following injuries. Even so, I have watched attorney Krepp consistently get clients to open up about their personal lives while instilling an essential feeling of trust needed to move the case forward with optimal client retention and cooperation. She is a legal power house with the dedication needed to get the job done – she always does what she needs to get the desired result and get a contract enforced or money in the pockets of her client.

Krista Krepp es la abogada que me ayudó en el caso de mi divorcio.. Desde el principio noté su compromiso y profesionalismo hacia mi necesidad. El proceso fue fácil y rápido gracias an ella.

Luis B.

Employment Law

Maria G.

I can’t say enough about how great an attorney Krista is. She works tirelessly to advocate for your rights and to fight for what is just. She has high moral standards and has great attention to detail. I would recommend Krista to anyone looking to have a positive outcome in their case.

Pat D.

HOA/Fraud Litigation

Krista Krepp was a life saver when my family and I found ourselves in a difficult situation with a tenant situation that turned bad. Referred to us by another law office, Krista was extremely professional, responsive, but, more than anything, she was passionate about our case and our fight for justice. While other lawyers immediately generalized our situation, jumped to the same outcome and immediately recommended settling without even discussing taking it to court, Krista took the time to hear out our entire situation and then offered to go to battle for us in court if we chose to do so. She was knowledgable and personable and took on our case with such passion and gave so willingly of her time that it soon became evident that she was representing us because our fight for justice had become her own, not because she was trying to profit from our misfortune. She had a great attitude and stayed so positive throughout our entire correspondence. She didn’t make us feel pressured. From the beginning, we felt that we really had a highly skilled lawyer in our corner. She turned out to be just the right lawyer for our case. I highly recommend Krista for any legal battles. I’m so grateful that we found her - and that such good-hearted lawyers still exist.

Sara W.

Landlord/Tenant Dispute

Krista was a bright light in a very dark time when faced with a lawsuit regarding a rental property in Chicago which favors tenant rights. After numerous lawyers were quick to advise settling with the additional costs of exorbitant attorney fees, Krista validated my case, and was more than ready to fight the fight! She offered sound knowledge and expertise to give me a realistic understanding of the situation and empowered me to make my own choice. And while I ultimately settled, Krista’s belief in me and her fighting spirit won a settlement for a fraction of the original asking amount. Just at a time when I felt overwhelmed and defeated, Krista stood by my side and gave me strength with her huge caring heart, generous spirit and great sense of humor!
