Worst ever
Steve Klein was the worst lawyer that I ever went to. He charged my $150 an email. He has a policy of not speaking on the phone and just through emails. I paid him $8000 dollars, when I finally went to another lawyer, he said about my file, "this is it?" that's all ? I had to go from Wappingers Falls...

Replied last June 15, 2016I am so sorry that your experience was unsatisfactory. I work hard to make my clients feel protected and confident, and I take it to heart when that does not happen. I wish you the best moving forward.
