Exceptional

I retained the services of MR Klotz, Esq for a DUI case. The case dragged on for 7 years through two municipal and two county courts, due to issues with the State Trooper and overzealous prosecutors. Whereas, most Attorneys would have pushed me into a plea bargain, Mr. Klotz forged on undeterred wi...th vigor. I WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY OF THE DUI AND TRAFFIC VIOLATION AT TRIAL!

CASE DISMISSED

John got my criminal trial dismissed & Indictment thrown out. He assured me that this was going to happen from the very beginning and he was right. He is very helpful and always available to reach with quick response time. He knows his craft very well and I won't ever use another lawyer besides him.... Thank you John! - J.M

absolute champion at winning in court

John is very talented and professional attorney one can come across. We've been through some tough cases together and he never let me down. I highly recommend him to anyone with legal needs!

5 Star Attorney

I've used John Klotz several times over the past 15 yrs, ranging from traffic violations to a white collar federal case. Bottom line is that he has never let me down. Always one to under promise & over deliver, John has done what other attorneys could not. He is thorough & effective, & I would rec...ommend him to anybody in need of a top notch legal defense.

A man for the people

I had so many tickets i did not even know how to make sense of what i had done wrong. John took the time to explain to me what i had done wrong and how we could fix it quickly. I was previously told by another attorney to never speak to the anyone at the court ... i wish i had met Mr.Klotz back then,... i had spent way more then i had to for no reason. It’s nice that there are still people who care Past the dollar sign.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
