Posted by Michael | March 10, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Professional legal service with estate planning and divorce.

Professional relationship for over 40 years. I hired Mr. Klein for estate planning and all items relating to that planning. 100% satisfied with everything he accomplished. He represented me from start to finish in a very complicated and highly contested separation/divorce case. A case that eventually... reached The State of Georgia Supreme Court. Again 100% satisfied with the result and everything he accomplished. Honest and professional attorney.

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.
