Outstanding lawyer

I was referred to Joni by a friend at a time when I desperately needed to handle a really bad situation at work. Joni is a first class attorney - she was extremely responsive & knowledgeable, and handled my case very strategically. Her advice was always on point, emotion-free, and smart. I hope I'd ...never need to hire an employment attorney ever again. However, if you are reading these reviews in search for an attorney - you could stop looking. She's the one you want in your corner when things get turned upside down.

Fast, informative response

I found Joni through a friend and could not have been more pleased with her response. I was looking for guidance on my options within an abusive work environment. Joni calmly talked me through the law, what my options might be and was very direct about her fees so I could make a thoughtfully informed... decision about how to proceed. Even after I was able to clear up the situation on my own, she still provided follow up advice. I would definitely seek her council in the future if necessary.

Responsive and knowledgeable, not to mention an EXCEPTIONAL lawyer and person!

Joni Kletter treated my case (although not nearly one of her larger cases) as a top priority. She kept me informed of all updates via email and called me intermittently to review. She was almost always available when I phoned and if I needed to leave a message for her to call me she called back withi...n the hour. Emails were promptly answered and she explained everything to me (someone with zero legal knowledge) with great detail and answered any and all questions intelligently but always in a way I could understand. Throughout the duration of my case I knew I was being represented by someone with exceptional knowledge and skill. I will admit I was a bit apprehensive at first but the minute I sat down with Joni I trusted her 110% and highly recommend her as she is an exceptional lawyer and person.

Joni Kletter is a quality lawyer and I highly recommend her legal services

I highly recommend Joni Kletter as a legal advisor on employment benefits issues. I was referred to her by a peer professional to advise on the negotiation of a severance agreement that I needed to finalize for myself under a tight deadline. Through responsive phone calls and emails over the course o...f a week, Joni gave me the solid legal advice I needed to make a sound decision on the terms of the severance being offerred to me. Joni's counsel included not only legal analysis of the document I need to sign but a healthy dose real-world business and financial expectations to consider in making my tactical moves during the negotiations. I could not have asked for better counsel.

Exceptionally professional and passionate

The best possible experience I could have had. Joni was very helpful, honest and professional every step of the way. I was very happy with the service provided and appreciated her excellent legal mind and honesty. Simply superb.
