Phenomenal Lawyer

This was our second time using Josh and we literally have nothing but amazing things to say about him. He is incredibly personable and isn’t your typical 9-5 lawyer. We were able to call/text him throughout the adoption process with any questions or concerns that came up. Josh was exceptionally knowl...edgeable and made sure that everything was done properly the first time around. We highly recommend Josh and his team.

Mr. Kelne was super helpful to me allowing me to continue on with my life without a worry. He got the job done fast with his clear knowledge of what needed to be done. Thank you Mr. Kelne!

I would recommend Mr. Klene to anyone going threw a divorce

I sought out needing a lawyer to review my divorce case. As soon as i submitted a request to speak with Mr.Klene he called back within minutes he answered all questions i had with every detail of my case on file. He went above and beyond on the phone with me for an hr and a half till he felt i was co...nfident to end the call with detailed steps and documents needed to proceed with him or on my own so i was not blind sided. With patience complete knowledge of my case and therly over viewing my case ending the conversation with Mr.klene i feel 100% safe with him standing beside me in a court room. He is very well spoken straight to the point and can brake down every detail that is ment to confuse the opposing party most importantly he cares about the families that cant afford an attorney he will direct you to his fullest capability in the right direction. This attorney is the best lawyer i ever spoken with i wish there were more people as dedicated to righting wrongs and genuinely caring about people in need of help and understanding i recommend Mr. Klene to anyone in need of help he treats you as if you are apart of his family as if he lived threw everything i was experiencing with me and my children. Mr.Klene is in every way an amazing lawyer and person!!! Thank you Mr. Klene for sparing so much for me on this sunday and helping put the pieces together for our next step god bless you you are an amazzzzzzing person and lawyer i thought everyone should know.

Very satisfied with Josh's efforts and results!

Josh fights for his clients! He explains the law and applies the facts to your case. He gives you clear guidance on what you can do to help him get the best outcome. Very personable, respectful and AVAILABLE! Let me repeat that, Josh gives you his cell # and makes himself available. Not like oth...er lawyers I've used. Josh tells you what he will do and he does it. That really means alot when you're going through a difficult time. I highly recommend Josh and the Sholes law firm for your legal needs. Great service all the way around!
