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.

An exceptional lawyer and person!

I am so thankful my friends referred Curtis Kleem to me! I was seeking a Separate Maintenance and there was so much I didn't understand as well as the dealing with the grief of my 29 yr marriage ending. Curtis Kleem is a professional, intelligent, kind and compassionate person. He was patient with m...y many questions and was helpful in explaining the process and all that was involved. He was easy to reach. His phone calls were personally and promptly returned as well as his emails. I would definitely use his services again for any future legal issue and highly highly recommend him to others!

Best Adoption Attorney Around!

Mr. Kleem helped to make our dreams of having a family come true. He confidently walked us through the adoption process and responded promptly to any questions we had. We highly recommend Mr. Kleem and are so thrilled with the service he and his staff provided. We couldn't be happier with the results... and our choice of representation. We are so thankful for Curtis.

What a blessing it was to work with this wonderful family! They are now the parents to a wonderful, healthy little boy with a great first name! I can't wait to watch the little boy grow over the years.

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."

  • 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.
