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.

Joni Kletter es una excelente representante de la justicia!

When I first met Joni Kletter, I was confident she was going to bring justice to my case. She was very receptive every time I talked to her and willing to explain every process. Joni es sensitiva a los problemas de sus clientes y por eso la recomiendo altamente!

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.

Great lawyer

Joni worked with me for three years on my case. She was with me every step of the way. She guided me through a very difficult and confusing legal process and could be counted on at any time. You feel like you are her only client, even though you aren't.
