Ann – Highly Recommend Attorney Christi – July 17, 2021 – 5.0 Stars – Working with Attorney Christi and Megan was a very smooth, professional, efficient, and with a personal touch experience. Our information we exchanged via email was prompt and precise which enabled me not to be side tracked from my business and clients. They made it easy to understand the legalities of the case, using layman’s terms, which made me feel a part of the case and not intimidated by law terminology. Very efficient responding to emails, I never had to wait for a response unlike most businesses. Very impressed by this law firm and Attorney Christi. Did not lose any sleep while preparing for my case due to feeling confident I was in the best possible hands. Highly recommend!”

Christina | Wrongful Termination | November 09, 2022 | 5 Stars | “Kayla was great to work with. She answered all of my emails in a timely manner and on phone calls I never felt rushed and she explained everything thoroughly. She also explained things in simple terms due to all of the legal jargon that I do not understand. I never felt pressured one way or the other when deciding how to proceed with my case. Would absolutely hire MKO in the future if needed.”

Tom | Labor and Employment | July 07, 2022 | 5 Stars | ” Kayla and her assistants at MKO delivered a quick and decisive victory over the PUA Unemployment Department of PA. She laid out the facts concisely and the PUA referee did not dispute or challenge any aspect of our case. Called many lawyers, most were honest & said they did not know the new PUA laws well enough to help me. MKO knew everything inside and out; fully explained my options and their approach. They were all also genuinely nice people. Very smart lawyers, highly recommended!

Sharon Stamets – Fantastic Law Firm – Hired Attorney – March 24, 2022 – 5.0 Stars – Mike, I so appreciate you, and your staff for handling my suit so professionally and so quickly. Your help and compassion, understanding go beyond words. You left no stress or questions concerning my case. My life is beyond blessed because of you and your firms team. Again. Thank you. Respectfully; Sharon Stamets.

Chris – Wonderful Attorney!!! – Hired Attorney –  February 27, 2020 – 5.0 Stars – Michael Kraemer helped with my unemployment compensation case. He really spent the time going over my case to fully understand the details. He was very honest and knowledgeable, and I knew from the start that I would be in good hands. I highly recommend him!

Paul Crossen – Working class this is your law firm – Consulted Attorney – November 9, 2016 – 5.0 Stars – I need to say this although I have not been represented by this firm. I am battling a former employer for benefits that I have been denied I have falsely been discharged from my job and at my appeal hearing my former employer blatantly lied and made the situation look as I was wrong and lying. Here in lies my point, I pleaded my case on legal match and almost immediately was contacted by Michael Kramer’s law firm and I will say the young lady who does initial interview was awesome She tried to assist me in many different ways. Although I did not have the dollar amount that I need to have them represent me they assisted me to an avenue that is currently looking into my matter. I want any one who is looking for legal representation to know that if this is how they treat someone who is financially in a pinch I would really like to see what expectations they would exceed if represented by them. These folks are incredible, not the normal lawyer who just want the facts and robotically goes thru the motion, they actually care and are honestly sincere. I am incredibly impressed with the time spent with me answering my questions and how they directed me to an option that was helpful for me. This has lead me to not only adjust my finances to have them represent me ( because I know in my heart these folks are really for justice of people who can’t defend themselves) but to also let anyone I can, who is in similar situation as me, that this is your law firm. If you have a messy employer situation, are confused by the complications of employee rights/law and think you have no chance of winning I can tell you this, this firm is your saving grace. It is firms like Michael Kramer that we the working class have that actually care for your rights and not what their percentage of winnings they will obtain. Kudos to Michael Kramer and associates for giving a once desperate former employee, who once thought my chances of recovering any losses was gone out the window, a shot of confidence and a restored sense that there are lawyers out there that are in law for who they represent not just for their own checking account. Thanks Paul

Bob – Reliable, honest services – Hired Attorney – January 16, 2014 – 5.0 Stars – I trusted Mr. Kraemer with a rather difficult period of time for my family, and we came out on top. He is trustworthy and honest, incredibly helpful, and understanding. Five stars aren’t enough! Him and his staff are well experienced, and won’t let up until the truth is known and justice is served. Michael, it’s been a pleasure. I hope I never need your services again! If I do, I will not hesitate to give you a call.

Andrew Lanier – Hired Attorney – December 3, 2013 – 5.0 Stars – Michael Kraemer was the only lawyer who took my case and would be the only lawyer I’d rely on. He kept me informed and was very intellectual on the whole subject that my case was revolved around. I give Mr. Kraemer a 10 out of 10 and I would refer him and his associates to anyone who wants a well-defined lawyer.

Troy – Great Lawyer! – Hired Attorney – November 4, 2013 – 5.0 Stars – Michael is very helpful in explaining the law and the circumstances involved in each situation. Keeps in communication often and responds quickly. Great lawyer!

Rick Mc Parland – Atty. Drum was a true gladiator – December 2022 – 5.0 Stars – As a result of being in a position where I needed expertise, I was searching for an attorney who truly cared about the outcome of my case as I did. It was a blessing to find MKO Law and even more wonderful to have Atty. Drum by my side. A true gladiator in the legal arena, she prepared and listened to all my concerns before formulating the most effective strategy for victory. In addition to being a brilliant attorney, she is always willing to answer any questions you may have. Her caring and concerned attitude and her positive outlook made a stressful situation more calming. I highly recommend Atty. Drum to anyone with an employer debacle. If you are fortunate enough to become her client, you should hire her because her professionalism and dedication are something to be relished.

Black Women Who Want More Miss More Roses – HIRE THEM! – July 2022 – 5.0 Stars – HIRE THEM ! They fought for me for 4 months for a very small retainer fee and helped me get a VERY LARGE sum of money in back unemployment. They made calls, emailed me for status updates and they were committed to sticking with my case until I won. I appreciate them so much ! If you are being IGNORED, given phone numbers that dont work, not having emails answered, being BLOWN OFF by the system, you need this firm!

Anthony DeNicco – Completely fulfilling experience – March 2022 – 5.0 Stars – Christi and Michael at MKO are absolutely and truly great professionals. I had never been through something like this and was definitely skeptical when first engaging them. They absolutely have their business down to a science and helped me every step of the way. They were honest, caring, and diligent throughout the entire process. There is just no better way to describe my experience other than completely fulfilling. I have no doubt that I was probably wasn’t the easiest client they ever had, but they wouldn’t even let me get in the way of doing a fantastic job. If you do come across a situation where you need employment attorneys and you don’t call MKO first, you are doing yourself a disservice. The last thing I will say that should convince you beyond a doubt is the following. They did such a good job and went above and beyond that I asked if I could give them some extra money for the extra time. They rejected my offer and said if I was happy to just leave an honest review. This review is very well deserved. Thanks so much. -AJ D

Julianne Johnston – Truly remarkable, “Masters At Their Art”- January 2022 – 5.0 Stars – I have to say that Christi’s handling of my hearing was nothing short of breathtaking. My sister and I listened to her on the hearing conference call. When it was her turn to speak our mouths hung open in stark admiration as she went to work. I felt like I was in a movie where everyone jumps up and cheers after the champion lawyer’s closing remarks. We were quietly high-fiving and hugging in the background while she spoke to each one of my points, nailing them and driving them home. Christi is truly remarkable, I cannot recommend her enough. Needless to say I won my hearing. Michael was wonderful too, he took my initial call and guided me through a nerve wracking process. I felt like I was in good hands from the start. These folks are masters at their art. If you need help, call them.

Bob Davis – Exceptional service – Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value –  May 2021 – 5.0 Stars – I selected MKO based on the other reviews. I know that you can’t win all the time but they were all very helpful and empathetic to the situation i was in. They asked me about everything and put up the best possible case that they could. At first i was hesitant cause of the price and requiring it up front but in the long run it was well worth what it cost. They kept me in the loop with information and also made sure that i was comfortable prior to the start of the hearing. There is nothing i could have expected that they didn’t anticipate and counter and made sure i was priority even though i know they are swamped with cases. My overall satisfaction is 5 stars for exceptional service and good people. I hope others take the chance as i did and give this wonderful firm a chance to help them.

Wrongful termination apparently being tolerated in this Covid time we are in, and good, dependable employees are at risk. My 35 years of service was terminated with little or no options of legal rights to be fought for on my behalf. Mike examined and explained my case and would have gladly helped me if he could. Don’t hesitate to contact him. Thanks again, Mike.

Scott McCay – Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness- Highly Recommended – February 2020 – 5.0 Stars – Michael’s firm represented me in an unemployment case a few years ago.
