Although our whole firm prides itself on being "warriors in court," I believe that I have a calling to spread the word to folks that there are alternatives to going to court. There are alternatives like mediation, collaborative law and cooperative law. People in our firm, and myself, had to take extra training, often at substantial expense and in other states, to be able to offer those alternative dispute methods for our clients.
Now I have hobbies of "speading the word" about those alternatives. I appear on TV, often with other members of our firm. I appear on radio. I write and blog. All of these spare time activities are intended to let folks know there are lots of alternatives to settle legal disputes.
Besides writing and other media activities, I like to travel, often with official or religious delegations. For example, most recently I was part of a delegation of family law and juvenile law lawyers and judges traveling to South Africa to compare legal systems.
I was part of a similar delegation to China earlier. The delegation was led by the President of the State Bar. I visited Israel, as part of a religious delegation.
I love to go to the movies and used to be movie critic on the radio.

I recently attended a three hour divorce and separation workshop run by this firm called ‘Second Saturday’ - and it was extremely helpful and informative.

I hired Garrison Klueck to represent me in a spousal support modification case. During the initial consultation he not only listened to understand my case but immediately began to strategize about different ways to present my case. I felt like his grasp of the law along with his strategic view a...

Our experience in working with Garrison Klueck and his team has been outstanding! From our very first appointment, Garrison took time to understand the details of our story. He introduced us to several of his office staff who would also be working with us along the way. It was very apparent from ...

Searched extensively for attorney with excellent AVVO rating. Met with Mr. Klueck who pulled another attorney into the conference. I requested Mr. Klueck specifically to work on my divorce case. He responded that the other attorney would "assist" him. Mr. Klueck explained the difference in hourly fee...
"I recommend Garrison to you. I have known him for about 20 years and have sat on a board with him for many years. He is extremely dedicated and cares about his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bud believes strongly in helping his clients through all aspects of divorce; legal, financial, and emotional. He is well respected in the community."
"I am so fortunate to get to work for such a great attorney and person. Our firm is full of happy lawyers which means happy clients. Bud is a great leader and boss. He puts his client's happiness and success first in his cases. His firm is build around his dedication to access to justice. He is also a leader in the legal community. I also worked with Bud as opposing counsel on a difficult case. He was firm but fair. He worked to get his client a good result while being professional and settlement minded. I have a great deal of respect for him personally and professionally. It's my pleasure to be a member of his team."
"I worked for Garrison "Bud" Klueck during an internship in law school. He helped provide the foundation of my legal knowledge in the area of family law, and inspired me to pursue mediation and alternative dispute resolution training to provide a better all-around service to my clients. I enthusiastically endorse him."
"I endorse Garrison. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Mr. Klueck was my Community Property professor when I was in law school. As students, my classmates and I were impressed by Mr. Klueck's extensive knowledge of the family law subjects he taught. Mr. Klueck was one of a few professors at my school who also practiced law, and I knew from interactions in the classroom, that he is one of the tops in his specialty. I have referred a number of people to Mr. Klueck without any reservation. I continue to do so."
"I have worked with Mr. Klueck as opposing counsel on two matters. In both instances, Mr. Klueck was professional and settlement minded. He came up with ideas that helped both cases settle in a manner that was beneficial to both parties and their children. I give him my highest endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Klueck is an extremely experienced attorney. He tailors his strategy to each client's particular needs and goals, whether that means zealous representation in court, or mediating the case to avoid court appearances."
