Krupp Law Offices P.C.

Formation and stated scope

Christian G. Krupp II joined his parents' practice and formed Krupp Law Offices P.C. in 1992. The firm is based in Grand Rapids and represents clients in courts across West Michigan. Its website also uses the shorter name Krupp Law.

The service list includes family law, bankruptcy, criminal defense, DUI defense and personal injury. It also names wills and probate, small business matters, workers' compensation, residential and commercial real estate, paternity and drug offenses. This gives the firm a mix of individual, family and business work.

Education and professional backgrounds

Christian G. Krupp II

The firm identifies Christian G. Krupp II as its senior attorney. He graduated from Michigan State University in 1988 and earned his law degree with honors from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. His early work included positions at Dykema Gossett and the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.

Christian Krupp later joined his parents' practice and formed Krupp Law Offices P.C. His listed areas include divorce, child custody, bankruptcy, criminal law, drunk driving, real estate, construction law and litigation. He also represents small businesses and holds a real estate broker's license.

George Krupp

The firm identifies George Krupp as its founding attorney. He gained admission to practice law in 1961 and began practicing in Grand Rapids in 1962 at the Kent County Prosecutor's Office. He later entered private practice and represented clients in civil and criminal cases.

George Krupp's stated focus includes family law, divorce, child custody, alimony, paternity, criminal defense and drunk driving cases. That background connects the firm's current service list with work that began in local prosecution and later moved into private representation. In my opinion, the named positions, dates and practice subjects give readers a useful basis for assessing the attorneys' professional histories.

Family law, custody and parentage matters

The family law portion of the firm's work includes divorce, child custody, child support, alimony and paternity. Both named attorneys have experience in family matters, although the site gives each lawyer a somewhat different list of subjects. Christian Krupp lists divorce and child custody, while George Krupp lists those fields along with alimony and paternity.

A divorce case can require decisions about property, debts, support and parenting arrangements. The parties usually exchange financial information and identify which issues they can settle. A judge resolves any remaining disputes under the law that applies to the case.

Custody cases address parental authority, parenting time and the child's needs. Child support proceedings often require income records, health insurance information and facts about the parenting schedule. Courts may review those details again when a parent seeks a later change.

Paternity cases establish legal parentage and can affect custody, parenting time and support. An acknowledgment may resolve parentage in an agreed matter. A disputed case can involve genetic testing, testimony and a court order.

Criminal, DUI and drug defense

Krupp Law lists criminal defense, DUI defense and drug offenses among its services. Christian Krupp's biography includes criminal law and drunk driving. George Krupp's background includes work at a prosecutor's office and later representation in criminal and drunk driving matters.

A criminal case commonly includes an arraignment, review of the prosecution's evidence, motion practice and discussions about a possible plea. Some cases proceed to trial, where the prosecution carries the burden of proving the charge. A conviction can lead to a separate sentencing hearing.

DUI cases often turn on the traffic stop, officer observations and chemical test records. Video, police reports and testing procedures can shape the disputed issues. Licensing consequences may also arise apart from the criminal court case.

Drug cases can depend on the alleged substance, quantity, location and theory of possession. Search warrants, consent searches and the handling of seized material may affect the evidence. Laboratory records can become relevant when the identity of a substance is disputed.

Bankruptcy, injury and estate services

Debt and injury claims

The firm's listed work includes bankruptcy, personal injury and workers' compensation. Christian Krupp also names bankruptcy as part of his practice. These matters follow different legal systems and call for different records.

A bankruptcy filing usually requires an account of income, property, debts and recent financial activity. Federal law controls the process, and the filer must submit required schedules and statements. A trustee may review the filing and ask questions about the listed information.

Personal injury claims often involve medical records, proof of lost income and evidence about how an injury occurred. Workers' compensation matters may involve employment records, medical opinions and benefit decisions. Insurers, employers, courts or administrative bodies may take part according to the type of claim.

Wills and probate

Krupp Law also lists wills and probate. A will records instructions for distributing property and names a person to administer the estate. Other estate documents can address authority during a person's lifetime, though the firm's service list uses the general category of wills and probate.

Probate begins after a death when a court process is needed to administer an estate. The personal representative identifies assets, handles valid debts and distributes property under a will or state law. Court filings and notices create a record of that work.

Real estate, construction and business work

The firm lists residential and commercial real estate among its services. Christian Krupp's biography also names real estate, construction law and litigation. His real estate broker's license adds a separate professional qualification tied to property transactions.

Real estate legal work can involve purchase agreements, deeds, title questions, boundary disputes and contract terms. Commercial property matters may also involve leases and the rights of business occupants. Litigation can arise when the parties disagree about ownership, payment, performance or the meaning of a written agreement.

Construction disputes often depend on contracts, change orders, invoices and records of the work performed. The parties may disagree about delays, payment or claimed defects. Written project records can help a court determine what each side agreed to do.

The site says Christian Krupp represents small businesses, and the firm separately lists business matters as a service. Business legal work commonly involves contracts, ownership questions and disputes between commercial parties. The published biography links this part of the service list to a named attorney.
