A PERFECT ATTORNEY

I was honored to be represented by Joseph Klein in 2019 with a somewhat mixed up legal hold ups and thats when I found Joseph Klein. He untied the knots and I had my case closed in a few months. He is perfect. He is an awesome attorney. He can be trusted and he is a great worker. I will use him ...again if needed.

Best of the Best !

I contacted Joseph to meet on an urgent matter and he agreed to meet at a location convenient to my workplace. Joseph took the time to explain all of my options and best and worst case scenarios. He didn't rush me and was truly kind and considerate. Joseph thinks of all angles and is thorough with... his analysis before he implements a plan and he does all of this quickly. Joseph does everything he says he will do and works with honesty and integrity. I will definitely use Joseph for any future legal needs!

Highly recommend!

We were referred to Joseph, and due to our circumstances, he referred us to another attorney who could meet our needs. He was well prepared, worked quickly and efficiently, and he was very kind and considerate of our situation. We were made to feel very comfortable with our choices, and he explaine...d our options very well!

A Thorough and Teaching Mentality at the Most Affordable Rate!

My wife and I were interested in developing an estate plan after the birth of our first child. I reached out to several lawyers. A few emailed me back, and a few called me to talk for a few minutes. Joe was the only one who offered to talk to me face-to-face at no charge. At that meeting, he gave... me 2 hours of his time to answer my questions and mention important things that we had not thought of or were not aware of. Furthermore, he quoted a great rate (as compared with the other lawyers). Later, he came to our house (which he offered to do after I mentioned it was difficult for my wife to get out of the house with our newborn) to have a similar meeting with my wife. After that, he came to our house again to drop off the initial draft of the estate plan that he developed for us. Since then, he has been very patient while I review the draft and ask him questions. Despite all this work, he still has not asked for money yet. And he has indicated that he will be very reasonable in helping us if we need to update the plan at any time during the next several years. Joe has gained our trust, and we will be happy to pay him whenever necessary. We highly recommend Joe for anyone who needs estate planning services.

Total Legal Knowlege

I personally brought several legal situations to Joseph's attention to seek council as the best route to take to protect myself and my family. The first was a situation where the mother of my child was entertaining moving within a 50 mile radius however there were some concerns for the well being of ...my child I needed addressed. Joe reviewed my parenting plan from my mediation and divorce and pointed me to the FL state law that gave me the moral and appropriate right to refuse having my son commute such a distance and enter into an environment he just wasn't ready for at such a young age. It made me feel like I was able to help my son knowing the law and having representation standing by. It was not a hostile situation between the parents in any way but a conversation thanks to Joe filled with fact and legal grounds for a minor. The second case was an individual who unlawfully accessed personal information via a social media site and was threatening to expose certain aspects of my life that I did not give permission. Once again and with the entire legal team at DKN Legal Joe ensured he knew not just a piece of the law but all angles with several scenarios in order to give me the information needed to stop such a thing from happening. Joe is proactive, thorough and tactful in his approach. He knows how to delicately communicate something to another party but have the knowledge and ammunition to back a threat if needed and it's aggressive without being overbearing. I absolutely believe Joe is the right attorney for anyone out there and need everyone to know that it's not just Joe you are hiring, you are working with a legal "team" that will fight for what's right.
