Curtis represented us on our adoption. Curtis and his staff were great. Always kept us well informed about what we needed to do and how the processed worked. Our adoption went very smoothly and it was all because of Curtis. In my mind there is no better adoption attorney.

Solid Experienced Guidance

Needing family law is tough enough by itself and I needed guidance to navigate the waters through a multi-year experience. Curtis was great to work with. A very experienced no-nonsense straight forward attorney that I grew to trust. I certainly recommend.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently completed a case with Curtis as the opposing counsel. Curtis was no pushover. He represented his client very very well. BUT Curtis was nice. He was not a jerk, as too many attorneys tend to be. Curtis follows the old model of the gentleman lawyer. I would gladly work with Curtis again, and I will refer business to him. Curtis Kleem is a good, professional fellow, and he worthy of serious consideration. If I needed a lawyer, I would want Curtis to represent me."
