Superman

I call him superman because he truly is a super human person. During my time of despair, facing a DWI conviction with potential 7 month license suspension, John came to my rescue!! I left a message on his voicemail on a Sunday morning thinking he would probably get back to me by Monday. He called m...e back in 10 minutes. From that moment after i explained what had happened it was all business. He listened to me for about an hour and found flaws by police instantaneously in my case. As we moved on he tirelessly gathered info for discovery, sometimes texting me at 11pm at night after a full day of work. We even shared an occasional joke to break up tension. He promised me in beginning "HE WOULD LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED" and he certainly delivered on that. My results were definitely in my favor as my DWI was dismissed. I not only consider John a great lawyer but a great person who truly cares.If you need a lawyer to roll up his sleeves and go to work for you then John ( Superman) Klotz is definately your man. Thank you John for everything!!!

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
