About us

Kruse Legal was founded in 2011 to provide affordable, timely and pragmatic legal advice to the Adelaide Hills community. Our full-time lawyers, paralegal and friendly support staff at Blackwood are always pleased to assist. Clients benefit from our close relationships with local conveyancers, mortgage brokers and experienced barristers. 

Kruse Legal prides itself on our word of mouth referrals and the quality of our advice - regardless of the size of your matter. Why do word of mouth referrals give us most of our clients? It's because we at Kruse Legal value each client and treat them with respect and work hard to ensure they get the best possible outcome. For example: When a relationship ends, a fair and equitable family property settlement is what you want for your future. Kruse Legal can assist you in understanding the process and obtaining a fair and equitable family property settlement either by Consent Orders or in certain circumstances by a Binding Financial Agreement.

Darren Kruse of Kruse Legal is one of the very few lawyers with a deep technical background in IT networking, cyber law and cyber security and is uniquely positioned to assist clients in bridging the divide between the cyber and legal worlds. While working out of Adelaide, South Australia – the use of technology allows Darren Kruse of Kruse Legal to consult for clients around the country.

Honest, compassionate, outstanding and exceptional legal service providers!

I highly recommend Kruse Legal team for their honesty, compassionate, reasonable rates, professionalism and expertise in legal matters. Darren gave me hope and showed me the light at the end of the tunnel in dealing with a very stressful family matter.
Demi was outstanding from the first phone conversation to the closure of my matter. She explained the legalese, was attentive to detail and provided advice for consideration so I could own and make the right decision.
Kruse Legal stayed on course and focused on the scope of the matter which made it easier for me to understand the complexities of family law. I am so grateful to have worked with Kruse Legal to achieve a fair and just outcome.
Thank you so much Darren, Demi and Kruse Team!

Understanding the maze of aged care and sacat

Darren was extremley helpful re explaining the legalities of going through a SACAT hearing for a loved one. We didnt have to pursue legaly, but understanding what was involved, and what our options were, meant that we could make informed decisions about the best way foward for our family. I would enciurage people to ask the tough questions and it certainly helps to go through it with someone like Darren.

I feel legally secure. Darren is thorough, precise, explains all points well. My wife is handicapped so he took special care to make certain she understood the wills he prepared . He runs a tight ship if yo can say that about a lawyer. Then we swapped stories for the aimiable part.

Thanks Peter, Jan. It's a privilege to help people after losing a loved one. Probate can be complex - but we do a lot of it, so it's mostly smooth and hassle free. I'll pass your kind words onto my staff who are superb. Darren Kruse

I am very happy with the empathetic care and quality of service provided by Kruse Legal.
He assisted my loved one's family and me to locate a will when Robert passed.
We were able to fulfill Robets wishes.
