This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Law suite over my Trust

I can’t say enough about Mr Klauer and Mr Curdie. I hired them to handle my case. All I can say is they are wonderful. If you need to hire a law firm Klauer & Curdie Law Firm are the best. They are so honest and trustworthy and work extremely hard for you. If they can not help you they will tell you ...up front. They are truly the best.

Real Estate Attorney

Mr. Klauer took the time to speak with me on short notice was very helpful in answering my real estate contract questions. If my situation elevates to needing representation I will be calling on Mr. Klauer.

Peace of Mind!!

I had a situation where a Goliath company tried to steamroll me on an employment matter. An attorney I knew urged me to contact Richard Klauer citing his expertise - and I'm very happy that I did. I admit that I was very intimidated but Mr. Klauer immediately put me at ease, collected all the infor...mation that would be needed and put together a compelling case. The case drug on for some time due to continuances but Atty Klauer diligently stayed at the ready for every twist and turn. In the end, we prevailed! I would urge anyone to engage this attorney. His office is professional and friendly, he is very personable and easy to work with. Most of all, he's a professional and will work tirelessly on behalf of his clients. While I hope I never NEED his services again, it is very comforting to know that I have someone like him that is willing to be in my corner!

Highly Competent, Ethical and Experienced

My wife and I have contracted with Richard L. Klauer several times over the last 15 years which have included better than expected settlements involving three separate auto accidents, advice on wills, and matters of power of attorney involving both national and international business. Richard has alw...ays been promptly available, completely approachable and appropriately confidential.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
