Successful Negotiator

My situation required negotiating of severance plus client retention. It was handled very well. Joni had to be relentless in getting what was needed and she was successful.

Calm, strategic and thoroughly knowledgeable

When Ms. Kletter took on my employment-related case, she was quick to understand the facts and equally quick to establish expectations. She subsequently spelled out my options to tackle both my financial wants and emotional/mental redress. Joni is friendly, patient and strategic. She can also be as...sertive/responsive when strategically necessary—such as when an adversary needs to be prompted into action. On a day-to-day basis, Ms. Kletter has been quite helpful and timely about answering questions or allaying concerns I might have about my case's direction. She is great at establishing rapport, and has maintained a positive and friendly tone in conversing with the adversary, which has helped tremendously. As for bottom line matters, Ms. Kletter deserves high praise for a good strategy that produced a settlement that significantly exceeded my expectation.These are all things I would expect from best-in-class counsel, and I accordingly would absolutely recommend her.

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.

Hardworking, Honest and Passionate about Your Case

I came to Joni after going through a nasty employment issue. Joni listened to me and patiently explained all of my options from a legal perspective. I never felt like she was pushing me in one direction or another - just giving me the facts so that I could make informed decisions with her guidance. ...She knows employment law through and through, and because of her expertise, we settled our case VERY quickly out of court. She is awesome and a true force to be reckoned with - you absolutely want Joni on your side. While I hope to never go through something like this again, if it were to happen, Joni would be the first person I would call.
