Richard C Klein

Don't waste your time with a mediocre lawyer, Richard is experienced, sharp and will fight for you, he cleaned up my case that was dragging out for a year and got me the most I could get.. getting me divorced in 4 months, he works for you! he’s easy to talk to and always responds quickly. I highly ...recommend

I hired Richard Klein in Jan to file a Post-Divorce Motion. After paying a retainer fee of $3,500 and waiting over 2 months, I began calling and e-mailing him, yet I continued to receive no feedback. Then he requested to meet face-to-face in April, to review my case files once again. I continued t...o hear nothing. In May he joined the Law Firm of Cooper Levenson and blamed the move for the delay. I continued to call and e-mail over the next month a half. Finally, the end of July he e-mailed me a draft of my Motion. After reading it over, I was outraged!!! It was a generic Divorce Motion, whereas my case was a Post-Divorce matter. I re-wrote the motion making numerous corrections to not only the information but to my Child's name as well as my Divorce date. A few weeks after that, I received a Certification in Support of the Motion. When I read it, again I was outraged and now furious!!!! The facts were jumbled, incorrect and it did not even make sense. I re-wrote the Certification and returned it to him stating my discord. The end of August I finally received the corrected Motion and Certification and it was signed and returned immediately. After waiting several more weeks and receiving no word of the filing, I felt I had to cut my losses and be done, so I sent his firm a registered letter requesting his withdrawal from my case. However, without my knowledge or consent, he filed my motion anyway. The only way I knew this was because he e-mailed me a copy of a letter from my Ex-Husband’s attorney, along with a Response to the Motion. Now, that the motion was finally filed, I felt I had no choice but to continue with the hope that my issue would finally get resolved. I then sent Richard an e-mail response to the Response to the Motion. However, Richard did nothing on my behalf and just sent me a e-mail informing me of the court date. Our Nov court date came and I had to review pertinent information with him prior to entering the courtroom because he did not have the facts straight. Yet the Courtroom scene was an outrage!!! The Judge could only go by what was contained in the Response Motion that my Ex-Husband had filed and Richard stumbled with details and did not have some of the necessary documentation to properly represent my case. He made a fool of me, himself as well as the firm he represents. After waiting almost 10 months and paying a retainer fee of $3,500, he now claims I now owe him an additional $4,500. THIS IS LUDICROUS AND A DISGRACE!!!

I had a very bad experience with Mr. Klein @ BeckerMeisel. I received very little communication about my case. I did not receive documents that were sent to the judge/court regarding my case. Documents were not dated correctly, and information regarding a hearing postponement was mis-communicated to... me, causing an unfavorable outcome. The case started badly when even the retainer-agreement was incorrect. I should have bailed then! It was a disaster all the way thru! Find someone else. I could have gotten better counsel from a law student!!!
