A True Professional

Mr. Klein, or Ellis as he prefers to be called, is a true professional and credit to his profession. I spoke with a number of attorneys before making a decision and the running theme between most was that my case was more complex than I believed it would be and would likely require multiple court app...earances. They also seemed keen to charge an amount equal to multiple court appearances. When I spoke to Ellis, I felt that he actually listened to my story instead of just the "yup, mhmm, got it" I heard from others. Furthermore, he explained to me that in my specific situation, it would be possible to handle everything at our first appearance. While he could make no guarantees, he explained what he could possibly do to help me and make it happen at our first appearance. Not only that, his fee was half of what the others were charging because he didn't want to charge me for work that may not have been necessary. If plan A didn't work, then we would keep at it at the second hearing. Well, he delivered at the first hearing and I could not be happier with this result. I'd like to make note of one more thing... I noticed the respect shown to him by other attorneys in the courtroom and the Judge. It seems that he really is the good guy I believed him to be.

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad that we were able to get the charges dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing. It doesn't happen very often, but I am glad that you got this result, as you deserved it. Best of luck in the future - Ellis

Effective and Passionate Juvenile Defender

Sending along high praise and enormous gratitude to our attorney, Ellis Klein. A friend referred us, but we feel compelled to publicly recommend Ellis. Protecting our child, and at the same time balancing her accountability in this matter took honesty, empathy, and skillful collaboration with all par...ties involved. Ellis created an immediate trust bond with our family. His responsiveness, clear communication and guidance allowed a scary and unfamiliar situation to be managed with great care. We achieved a fair outcome, while placing appropriate responsibility on our family.

Great lawyer

Ellis Klein is a great lawyer! I was looking at 5 points plus a suspension, but he managed to get my charge down to no points, no suspension, and a fine. I would recommend!!

Ellis gave me peace of mind

I received a speeding ticket that would have resulted in 4 points on my otherwise immaculate driving record. I initially planned to fight the ticket myself but my husband convinced me that the stakes were too high and that we should enlist the help of an attorney. We looked for experienced attorneys ...in the area and found Ellis Klein. Ellis consulted with me right away and walked me through possible scenarios. He took my case and handled everything for me from that point, including appearing on my behalf. He was successful in getting my fine reduced and, best of all, no points were added to my driving record! Having Ellis represent me was the best decision I made.

Best Possible Outcome

I highly recommend Ellis Klein. He is honest, straight forward, and does not promise what he can’t deliver. Ellis took the time to explain my situation and walked me through possible scenarios and outcomes. He handled everything from the very beginning. Ellis was superb. He successfully reduced the t...icket to a nonmoving violation with no points, and a reduced fine. Choosing Ellis to represent me was the best decision I could of made in a very uncomfortable situation. Thank you Ellis and I would not hesitate to hire you again in minute. Don’t want that day to ever come. However, if you want a great lawyer hire Ellis you will not be disappointed!
