Bankruptcy and Debt 65%

During my time at Wells Fargo, I worked on over 1,000 proof of claims for mortgages for chapters 7, 11, and 13. Since leaving Wells Fargo, I now counsel debtors and families how to file bankruptcy and eliminate debt. If you are filing for bankruptcy, choose an attorney who has worked for both creditors and debtors, knows the issues on both, and knows the strategy for both.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 15%

"Just pay it off" some people say. What they forget is the biggest costs to a traffic ticket are not fines, but insurance points and losing your license! Even one insurance point will cost you $400+ over the next three years! Did you know that if you speed over 80 mph, your license can be suspended? These are the reasons to hire an experienced traffic attorney. I have been helped clients in Orange, Durham, Wake, and Chatham counties get their license back and avoid costly insurance hikes.

Criminal Defense 10%

There are few things that can hinder your life more than having a criminal record, even for just a minor misdemeanor. Here is a short list of of criminal offenses in NC that you might not have thought were misdemeanors: 2nd degree trespassing, speeding more than 15 over speed limit, expired registration tag, and littering. A conviction would give you a criminal record for the foreseeable future. Hire an experienced attorney to maximize your chances of keeping your record clean.

Immigration 10%

Green card applications are long, require lots of documentation, and lots of patience. A well-organized and properly filed application has much better chances of success than one that has mistakes or is missing vital documentation. Hire an attorney who has done the entire process before. You don't have to be in this alone.

Klaus gave us legal advice beyond my expectation

We needed some clarity as to how best to handle our nephews immigration concerns. Klaus gave us an initial phone consultation. He listened carefully and was very respectful. What he did next impressed me even more. He followed up with a detailed and very clear email spelling out the course of acti...on that he felt we should take. He then set up a third party conversation with someone that had been in a similar situation. We are very pleased with our interaction with Klaus thus far and highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable, courteous and great attention to detail

Mr. Johnson helped me file for my permanent resident petition last year. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, and had great attention to detail. He explained every step of the way and addressed my concerns fully.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
