Great Lawyer

Chris helped me get custody of my kids. Through the entire process, Chris was great in court and which played a huge part in the final outcome. He and his team are top-shelf.

Great Law Group

I had the pleasure of working with Jenn McCarthy and she was great! She is very professional and responsive. I actually picked her because i submitted an email requesting a quote and she got back to me the same day at 9pm. So if you need an attorney to help guide you smoothly through the home buying ...process pick this group of attorneys-especially Jenn. I was a first time home buyer and Jenn walked through the process the whole time and answered all of my questions no matter what time i sent them.

Kleister Law Group- Highly Recommended

Mr. Kleister is a knowledgable, kind and compassionate attorney. He has always been responsive and caring, and made me feel as though I was his only client. I would highly recommend his law firm to any client looking for the best representation available.

The Kleister Law Group Provides an Outstanding Level of Service.

As a first time home buyer I had a lot of mundane questions. Chris and Jennifer took the time to answer all of them in a thoughtful and timely manner. Chris' level of professionalism and knowledge is outstanding.

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.
