A Professional Estate Attorney

Mr. Klepak oversaw a fairly complicated Will Probate for me that another attorney failed to complete due to inattentiveness and incompetence. I was initially wary because of the previous attorney’s severe and rank ineptitude. That previous attorney was not one worth getting up early for. But Mr. Klep...ak allayed those concerns quickly by getting things done. He was upfront and concise. What he could do and what he couldn’t. What you, the client, can do and what you can’t. He responded to every email and phone call. And whenever something new happened; he didn’t hesitate to explain or make one aware. This other attorney, you could call and email early as possible, but would either not respond or would force you to talk to snarky secretaries. Not so with Mr. Klepak. He, or his wife, will get to you with the real answer and will explain everything to you without being vague nor unnecessarily abstract. His timelines were accurate and his rates are quite fair for his services. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Klepak. My case was emotionally draining and I had already had such a negative experience with an earlier attorney , but Mr. Klepak certainly worked hard, made no excuses, and was never unreachable. And he got results.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Mr. Klepak to complete a name change for me. He was absolutely outstanding. Him and his staff were always kind and made sure I felt comfortable contacting them with any questions that I had. The process went so smoothly, which I'm grateful to him for. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

The best lawyer for a divorce that I know

He gets the job done the right way and it really don't take long . I want to say thank you very much for handling my divorce and keeping me on everything that was going on from the beginning to the end.

Outstanding!

Mr. Klepak is outstanding! His friendly but professional way he handled our cases was very impressive! We explained our cases, he promptly and clearly explained our options. We appreciated his quick responses to messages either by phone or email. We would highly recommend our lawyer to anyone and I... assure you, if he can't handle your case, he will definitely refer you to someone. We had a situation that involved Louisiana law and he put us in contact with a Louisiana attorney. As anyone knows, LA laws weird!! Any questions, feel free to contact us.

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.
