Lynette Teresa Kleiza

Lynette is an excellent attorney. She's pragmatic and knowledgeable, but perhaps her best characteristic, is that she's an excellent judge of character. It shocked me how often she would predict the other party's next move. I credit Lynette with making sense of the complex situation I was in, kee...ping me calm, and also giving me the insights and clarity I needed to frame what success would look like. This was important, because my case ultimately settled outside of court, during the tense days leading up to the court date. During the process, Lynette accompanied me to hearings and waited outside during mediation. She read emails and text messages, and also helped me craft responses. I have taken these lessons on communicating with the other party forward into my future, to ensure that my communications are clear and emotionless. If you're going to hire a lawyer to get things done and counsel you through the process, hire Lynette.

I hired Kleiza based on the reviews here and now find them incredibly hard to believe. This attorney refused to represent me, listed charges in whole/half day blocks, didn't answer emails, not transparent about her communications with opposing counsel, did not forward/share documents given by opposin...g counsel, misled me into signing an order with improper counsel, delayed actions with opposing counsel, which ended up costing me significantly.

Lynette has handled multiple cases for me (divorce, child support, modifications, mediation, custody, etc) over the last 4 years. Every single time, we were fully successful. She is incredibly competent, always prepared, kind and sympathetic during difficult times, conservative but not risk averse ...-- and the best choice I could have made. She walked me through everything and took care of our family. Highly recommend Lynette!

Ms. Kleiza represented me on a family law matter where the jurisdiction was contested. Her proactive communication with me, preparation, courtroom presence, and performance during the hearing, gave me confidence and reduced my worry during a very anxious time for me. In winning my motion for dismis...sal of the case, Ms. Kleiza proved a talented litigator that is experienced in the courtroom. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone in northern Virginia who needs a zealous advocate to handle their contested divorce.

Lynette represented me in my family law matters and divorce matters. I would like to commend Lynette on her tradecraft and professionalism. Lynette was very instrumental in keeping a clear perspective on matters involving custody, even when dealing with the opposing party’s irrational claims and act...ions. Her clear head allowed us to maintain course on resolution, ultimately settling the custody and property matters short of litigation. Lynette was instrumental in the constructing of clear and effective settlement materials and showed her skill set in negotiation and cross counsel communications. However, the most valuable aspect for me was the expectation management and advice in how to respond to issues from the opposing party and her counsel. When I had questions or issues relating to the separation/divorce I knew that I had a trusted advisor I could rely on to help me make clear cut decisions. This support base and decision-making allowed for the most expeditious conclusion for divorce as was possible. Lynette’s dedication ensured the settlement was in my best interest and supported our overall end states. I have much respect for Lynette and it is very clear she takes her profession seriously. The time and attention she devoted to my case exceed my expectations. Lynette was always reachable via multiple communication means. I found her rate both fair and reasonable, and worth every penny. The rest of the staff at Curran Moher PC was always welcoming and supportive. If ever I can recommend a family law attorney, it will be that of Lynette Kleiza and the Curran Moher PC firm.
