Review Joanne Kleiner

Highly Recommend

Posted by HelenWed Jul 23 2014

I hired Joanne as my legal counsel for my divorce. Despite my shortcomings, her representation of me was nothing short of professional. She had the misfortune of having to deal with my ex's lying, disorganized unethical legal counsel, yet she continued to remain professional and fought for me. Her communication skills and her response time are excellent. Joanne's fees/rates are more than fair and she allowed for flexible installments of payments. I would highly recommend her. Sally, her assistant, is very professional as well. She was very supportive during the rough times.

Kathy Bloom, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 11, 2019
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Joanne and I have worked on many cases together. She is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with, even when our clients are on opposite sides. She works hard to keep her clients out of court and to help them find an amicable resolution.

Bella Schnall, Family Attorney on Apr 28, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Joanne and I have worked collaboratively to assist our clients in reaching amicable resolutions to their domestic relations disputes and we have also been on opposite sides of some cases. In every instance she has been a strong advocate for her client while maintaining the highest ethical standards and demonstrating a willingness to work out disputes without resort to unnecessary or combative litigation. I recommend her highly.

Fredric Rubin, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 23, 2016

I endorse this lawyer. Joanne is a highly respected Family Law Attorney and deservedly so. I highly recommend her. FDR

Michael Dubin, Commercial real estate Attorney on Apr 18, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Joanne and I worked on a matter together (we had a common client) and I found Joanne to be professional, knowledgeable and to provide sound legal analysis and advice. I also know two of Joanne's domestic relations clients and both speak very highly of Joanne and her representation. She was able to get a favorable outcome in both matters and her clients were very satisfied.

Peter Bort, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 18, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Joanne is one of the sharpest and well-intentioned attorneys I have ever met. Whether it is arguing for her client in front of the Supreme Court or holding a client's hand through a difficult situation, Joanne is a fantastic advocate.

I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Joanne in Collaborative Family Law cases as well as through Family Law organizations such as CLP (Collaborative Law Professionals of Southeastern Pennsylvania. She is highly professional and prepared.

Daniel Kleiner, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 15, 2015
Relationship: Family member

I endorse this lawyer. I have referred countless individuals to Joanne over the last 30 years for representation in divorce, child custody, support and other family matters. She is aggressive when she needs to be, but she possesses an excellent, collaborative style that results in a resolution of matters that would otherwise wind up in court. Her integrity and approachability are impeccable.
