Professionalism, Knowlege, and Compassion!

Troy Klein was recommend to me at a time when I did not know where to turn. A few months after a mediated and peaceful divorce, I was suddenly inundated with modification requests from my ex-husbands attorney. Out of the blue my ex-husband decided he didn’t want to be a part of our children’s lives... nor pay child support. I retained a local attorney however he was no match for my ex-husbands pricey, boutique attorney. I thought about giving up and just letting him have his way when a friend told me about Troy Klein. Troy had stepped in for her attorney who could not be in court that day. She said he was so compassionate and understanding yet when he was done in court that day her ex-husband was waiving the white flag. I decided to give him a call. I met with Troy and instantly felt I was in the right place. He explained the Family Law to me and assured me he would protect my children and make sure they ended up with what was lawfully entitled to them. My first time in front of the judge and facing my ex-husband in court with his over priced attorney was truly an experience. Troy was well prepared and presented my position with professionalism and complete knowledge of the law. After the hearing with Troy my ex-husband’s attorney severed ties with my ex husband. He knew he had no chance winning against Troy Klein. My ex husband retained another attorney who also knew she was up against a force. In the end my ex-husband ended up settling because with Troy Klein representing me there was not chance of him skipping out on his obligation to our children. Since my modification I have retained Troy for a smaller issue that was handled quickly, affordably, and with complete professionalism. I have the utmost confidence in recommending Troy Klein to anyone who is looking for a Family Attorney. As a matter of fact several of my friends have used him and sing his praises as well.

Excellent divorce attorney!

I highly recommend Troy Klein as a divorce attorney! He was so knowledgeable, efficient, organized and very well prepared. Mr. Klein advised me well, listened to my concerns, and was very empathetic. He provided excellent advice through the entire difficult process. Mr. Klein is so professional a...nd so is his wonderful staff. He came highly recommended to me. I'm so glad that I took my friend's advice and hired Mr. Klein for my divorce. I am extremely happy with the outcome and with Mr. Klein's hard work. He made one of the the worst times in my life so much easier! Thank you Mr. Klein for everything!

The Right Man for the Job! You want this guy on your side!

Troy Klein was brought on as the trail attorney for my time sharing modification and contempt/enforcement case against my former wife by my primary attorney. Troy took the time to understand the details of my case, who the players were and what I was hoping to get. Troy took several pages of detail...ed notes and then explained to me what I could expect, explaining his initial thoughts on a strategy. This included a few examples of case law he was able to draw from memory he felt would be applicable to my case. During my case, Troy continued to refine the strategy towards achieving the best possible positive outcome for me and my children. His attention to detail during the pretrial preparations was outstanding, and his organizational skills to keep track of all those details was simply amazing. One of the first things that happened when we got to the courthouse was several other attorneys made it a point to find out who Troy, with a cart full of case notes and documents, was representing. Each of them was clearly relieved to find out he was not opposing them in their cases. I knew I had the right man for the job! In the courtroom Troy's professionalism and experience was outstanding. The opposing attorney tried to box me in with numerous "yes or no" questions while I was on the stand. Troy then made sure I had the chance to explain my answers in detail, so I didn't feel like I ever gave a partial or misleading response to a question in front of the court. Having Troy as my trial attorney I had someone on my side who knew what to do in the courtroom, when to do it and how to make it happen. Having Mr. Klein there with me in the courtroom, made what should have been a stressful time, not a stressful time. I knew I had someone fighting for my children and I, in the courtroom with me. During breaks and at the end of each day of trial, Troy specifically made time to ask if I was happy with how he was handling my case, and if I felt we had missed anything (rarely, if ever). I felt like I was being treated as not just his client, but as a person whose opinion on how he did his job mattered. I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Troy Klein for any family law matter.

Best Attorney there is!

Troy has assisted my husband and myself now for almost 3yrs. He is fair, kind, ethical and really savvy. He knows the law and is willing to assist you with any and all questions. His staff is thorough and knowledgeable. We couldn't be happier we chose to have him help us through my husband's divorce ...from his ex-wife and our custody litigation. He is great!

The most amazing professional lawyer

Troy Klein is an amazing attorney. He is the most honest man in the legal field I have ever met. He has high morals and standards. He is very respectful and knows every inch of the law. He is honest and trustworthy. Law is truly his gift. I would have him represent me every time I have to face my ...horrible ex- husband. He understands the stress of divorce and brings an amazing calmness to his clients in the courtroom. I would highly recommend Mr. Klein to represent anyone who has to go through a divorce. My divorce was extremely ugly, hard and nasty, but Mr. Klein always found a way to make it easier. I am truly grateful for all the hard work that Mr. Klein and his staff has done for me in order for me to move on and begin my new life from my nasty ex-husband.

Family lawyer | Apr 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Troy Klein is an outstanding family law practitioner. He is not only extremely knowledgeable as to the law and rules of procedure but he is highly sensitive to the attorney-client relationship. While most attorneys can cite statutes or rule numbers, some can not, or will not, communicate with the client to explain the law, explain the position the client has, its strengths and weaknesses, etc.. Also, Troy is "hard core", in the sense that he puts his client's interests ahead of other considerations. Some attorneys are more concerned with "getting along" with their colleagues, and that might be a good approach in terms of getting cooperation from them in that case or a later case. Troy's focus is on the now, on the this client. He is deliberate and contemplative, and his familarity with the rules of evidence is excellent so that if a case goes to trial that either only proper evidence is admitted or an objection is made to preserve the client's position for a possible appeal."
