The Now Defunct Firm's Philosophy

Lawyers Are Problem Solvers
Lawyers are stress reducers. Lawyers must consider the client's needs and desires first. Legal services should be available to people at costs they can afford.

Dedicated to Sensitive Family Counselling
The Kroll law firm was dedicated to providing sensitive family counselling and legal representation according to the highest ethical and professional standards. The firm attempted to work with people of all ages, ethnic and socio-economic levels, with an eye to providing legal services at an affordable price.

Aiding The Community
The firm volunteered many hours each year to serving the needs of indigent people, including criminal defendants and other litigants through the Volunteer Legal Services Program of Alameda County, the Bar Association of San Francisco and the Alameda County Superior Court.

Our Services
The firm's services were obtainable in numerous ways - by the hour, by the project, by ongoing replenished retainer or through our pioneering flat fee The Personalized Pre-Paid Programsm. We were, until retirement from the practice of law, dedicated to finding ways to provide clients with at least the minimum legal services they need, and with all the legal services they want and can afford.

We always advised our clients when NOT to use the legal system when to do so would not accomplish the desired result or when it would not be cost effective to do so.
