For the past 4 years, Douglas Kraus and his team at Brener & Kraus, LLC have been providing legal services for the folks of Louisiana.
Douglas, the managing partner of Brener and Kraus, LLC, was born in Chicago and has been living in New Orleans for the past 22 years. Besides running on a regular basis, Douglas is an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and New Orleans Saints.
Douglas is what we like to call a Local Biz Hero, a self-made entrepreneur who brings true value to his community. High standards of professionalism and the strong work ethics of small business owners like Douglas make up the infrastructure of the New Orleans economy.
Every dollar that Douglas makes goes back to supporting the local business ecosystem and the community as Brener and Kraus, LLC supports the Society for Battered Women, Black Lives Matter, and the local NPR station.
We sat down with Douglas for a quick interview.
Q: What was the most unusual situation that ever happened to you on the job?
A: “I don’t want to discuss people, but I did have an unusual situation occur recently. A client hired me to deal with unfair job termination. I was able to resolve the issue and get her job back within 3 days at very low cost.”
Q: If you could share one tip with the readers for choosing an attorney, what would it be?
A: “Choose someone whose personality meshes with yours and who you’re able to communicate well with.”
