Empathetic and Effective

Ellis helped me immensely in handling a first-time DUI. Although I had refused to take a blood test, he was successful in getting me into the first time offender program (ARD) so that I could avoid a long-term criminal record and minimize the duration of my driver's license suspension. Because I wa...s able to complete my community service, alcohol evaluation and Alcohol Highway Safety course as well as pay all fines prior to my court date, I was eligible for the (6) month ARD program vs. the (12) month program which was an immense relief. Ellis and his assistant Lindsey were very empathetic and responsive and Ellis is very familiar with the court system and its members in Bucks County.

An attorney who truly cares about his clients.

I received a letter from Mr. Klein's office after I was released on bail following an arrest for a robbery charge. It was my first offense, yet it was a very serious crime that carried up to 10 years in prison. Prior to contacting Ellis, I applied for a public defender because my family and I did not... have the money to hire a personal attorney. The public defender I spoke to seemed very careless and told me I was most likely facing a maximum of 5 years in state prison and that my best case scenario would be 6 months to 2 years county time. I then decided to open the letter I received from Mr. Klein's office. After just one meeting with Ellis I knew that it was in my best interest to have this man represent me. He was very reasonable and understanding, and quite knowledgeable in criminal defense. He made no promises, but assured me that he would do everything in his power to help me through this difficult time in my life. And he sure did deliver. Not only did he have great suggestions to help me as a person, he also briefed me on what I could do to help my own case. We worked out a payment plan that he was very flexible and understanding with and to this day it was the best money I've ever spent in my life. He contacted me regularly to update me on changes, dates, case facts, etc. His staff was also very kind and courteous and always made me comfortable whenever I had to be at his office. And anytime I had questions or concerns, he was always available to answer whatever he could. Ellis was also hands on and personally involved in every aspect of my case. He did not delegate the work to another attorney like some other places do. Mr. Klein's expertise and experience was enormously crucial to my case and I would hate to think how things would have turned out if I had not opened his letter. When it was all said and done, I was given 1 year of probation. Quite a difference from the 6-24 months in prison the public defender had me hoping for. Ellis also ensured that my felony charges were dropped to less serious misdemeanors which will no doubt help me in my future. No words can express how grateful I am for Mr. Klein and all the hard work he put in to help me through such a difficult time in my life. A kind, respectful, and sympathetic man with a vast knowledge of the law. If you are truly concerned with your rights and freedom then you will not make the mistake of gambling with other attorneys and choose Ellis B. Klein to defend you.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I cannot say enough about Ellis Klein, I knew as soon as I met him I had made the right decision to retain him for my sons case. He was very honest and forthcoming and didn't make empty promises. He was very professional, but very real at the same time, made us feel very comfortable. My son was l...ooking at 2 felonies and possible 5 yrs. in jail. In the end he got 1 year probation and the felonies were reduced to misdemeanors, which most of the time is unheard of. I firmly believe, if we hadn't retained Ellis my son would be in jail right now. Bottom line is if you want an honest, caring, professional attorney Ellis Klein is the man to call.

Simply Awesome

I got pulled for 85/55 on i-95 in bucks county pa. I was worried that having a Delaware license may result in a suspension. i found Ellis through avvo and he gave me the guarantee that the ticket will be reduced else he will return fees. Went to the court this morning and got out with just a technica...l. no points no speeding ticket. definitely recommend ellis

Kept me out of jail..

Ellis Klein's outstanding knowledge of the law and his friendly relationship with police officers was instrumental in the amazing outcome of my case. I won't deny that Judge Brown was very generous and kind, but if Ellis had not worked with the officer who issued the citation to lessen the charges, ...I would be serving 6 months in jail. It would have impacted my life severely and broken my family apart. I highly recommend Mr. Klein.
