Always top notch service I've won everytime
Referred many friends to him who have all came out on top and been successful with Mr. Klugh. Both criminal and traffic. Used him twice myself on 2 difficult/impossible to defend serious traffic instances. Success with both! One thrown out completely! Other improper driving $75 fine! I can't thank him enough!!! His attention to detail, professionalism, enthusiasm, and quick wit keep me coming back. Been a client of his since '08. He's the man! He's always there when friends or I have needed him!

Reckless Driving (Reduced to 64 mph from 81 mph)
I got a reckless driving ticket driving 81 mph in a 55 speed limit zone (Interstate at a work zone) over the Labor Day weekend. I was in shock, panicking because I could not afford losing my DL or getting a high speeding ticket. I drive for Lyft/Uber on the side and it would be affected as well. I contacted Mr. Gordon Klugh's office and soon he called me back. I had talked with other Attorneys prior to calling Mr. Klugh's office. After listening to my side of the story, he assured me that everything will be alright and did not make it look like a huge deal while other attorneys I had contacted told me so many crazy things who also would charge me twice as much. But, Mr. Klugh was very nice and walked me through the process, making sure I was mentally prepared for the court. He also explained to me what was needed to help me at the court. My reckless driving (81) was reduced to 64 mph which is a regular speeding fine. I don't think it would be possible without Mr. Klugh. Thank you so much. Mr, Klugh.

Divorce
Mr. Klugh was the first lawyer I went to about my separation/divorce. He worked with me for over 5 years and always kept me informed and worked with me throughout the process. I would and will recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.

I Trusted HIm With My Life...And He Didn't Let Me Down
I have made many mistakes in my life. I have worked with many attorneys too. Gordon Klugh is the first one who actually treated me with respect. Is energy and his passion show through in his commitment to help. I have nothing but the greatest respect for him and owe him so much. My life is amazing right now...in large part because of Gordon Klugh.

Loyal Repeat Client
Mr. Klugh has represented both myself and my small business, having my full faith and confidence, since 2008. For counsel services ranging from divorce to obtaining warrants in debt, Gordon's professionalism and proven ability to successfully fight for one's individual rights has made me a loyal client. It's nice to know that I can always pick up the phone and "my attorney" is there for me.

Mr. Klugh saved my sanity!
I was receiving daily phone calls from a junk-debt buyer in NY. It was making my life miserable, they would call me day and night. I emailed Mr. Klugh late one night, after finally having enough of these calls, & he showed up the NEXT MORNING to discuss everything with me in person. I really appreciated him going out of his way to come to me, as he could understood how upsetting these collection calls were making me. Mr. Klugh agreed to take my case, he wrote the Collection Agency a strongly worded letter, and I never heard from them again! Mr. Klugh is honestly the best lawyer I have ever used.

Excellent Service
Mr. Klugh took over my mess of a divorce case behind two previous lawyers. Mr. klugh was hired after seven years of getting the run around from the two previous lawyers. He was able to get the divorce completed in approximately 18 months. After reviewing my case, it seems as if Mr. Klugh took a special interest in helping me. For a young lawyer, I will trust and recommend him to handle any case within his scope of practice and will recommend the same to anyone I know.

Gordon Klugh: Excellent Legal Representation
Gordon provided superb legal advice and representation during our adult son's DUI court case.
Posted by anonymous | December 8, 2011
great lawyer
Mr. Klugh did a great job informing me of procedures related to my case as well as assisting/directing me what forms I should file. My case was a little tricky, and highly emotional (to me) and it was very helpful to have some direct, concrete information regarding what I should and shouldn't do before my court date arrived. He always returned calls promptly which was pure icing on the cake. While, the situation regarding me to see an attorney was not pleasant in the least, I can honestly say that Mr. Klugh made the process much, much better than had I not seen him. I have recommended him to friends and will happily continue to do so.

Great advocate!
Gordon is a true advocate - and his willingness to fight for his clients make him a great criminal defense attorney. If you face a criminal charge, you need someone who will fight for you. I sure did, and I found that advocate in Gordon Klugh.

Negative
Gordon Klugh prizes his closeness to the court beyond the client when hired as a public defender. Mr. Klugh could do good work only if he agrees with you absolutely. If he doesn't agree absolutely, for me he left out key details to leave me with a lifetime disadvantage - I accepted the offer Mr. Klugh offered to me. I had the plea agreement ready for me only when the court was in session and people were waiting on me. I wrongfully trusted my attorney Mr. Klugh. Mr. Klugh sided opposite of facts relevant to me (as a defendant with this public defender). I was able to knock out a charge against me by bringing to light what Mr. Klugh did not from the legal system. With my trust in Mr. Klugh, the court process ended because I had trust in Mr. Klugh and signed a plea agreement which was not prepared for me ahead of time as expressed to Attorney Klugh but ready only when the court was in session, people were waiting on me, and I mistakenly trusted Mr. Klugh and accepted an erroneous expression of preeminent conclusion on what my thinking was on a day in the past as written only by the party extending this offer - the plaintiff. Mr. Klugh works for having the experience and acceptance of the court: he will not help you complete honest work of correct legal expression because he prizes his own life's appearance by argument. He would not side against a generalized majority opinion: it's simple enough to do without the thinking. Simple enough to push a pen. Simple enough to make you push carts.
