Trustworthy and skilled lawyer

I cannot recommend Mr Troy Klein enough. His expert guidance and unwavering support throughout my divorce process were truly invaluable. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy and a deep understanding of the legal complexities involved. Thanks to his expertise, I felt empowered and w...ell-informed every step of the way. I am so grateful for his dedication, patience and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me and my children.

Would not recommened

I hired Troy Klein despite multiple negative reviews online. Mr. Klein took my high conflict custody case, collected a large retainer fee and did not carry out any of the work promised. After emailing him many times times ans not getting a response, he finally responded asking for more money, making ...threats to withdrawl from my case. Mr. Klein failed to meet important deadlines, mistated the number of times we met and filed motions without my consent, charging me for them. Mr. Klein also sent me many text messages after work hours, asking me personal questions about my dating life. I learned online that he recieved sanctions in 2018 due to filing motions without merit. Mr. Klein withdrew from my case several weeks before my two day trial, kept my needed discovery and ultimately caused harm to my case. I would take these reviews online seriously before signing any retainer and would suggest you research his name on the palm beach county docket in order to be fully informed.

Integrity, Strategy & Courtroom Presence

Mr. Klein is an extremely knowledgable and experienced litigator. He is strong on strategy and research, ahead of making off the cuff decisions or presumptive recommendations. In the court, he is poised, demonstrates great precision, and exhibits calm and respect that judges appreciate. I consider Tr...oy a friend in addition to being a superior family court attorney.

Posted by Adam | August 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

Knowledgeable, Reliable and Responsive

I hired Troy to handle the appeal that was filed by my ex-wife in addition to a hearing regarding their attempt to collect attorney's fees after they lost the appeal. Troy's rates were very fair, he always took the time to explain my options as well as give an honest opinion as opposed to what would... make him the most money. He is one of the good ones, he is honest and most importantly he is the guy you want on your side, I've never seen anyone as prepared as he was inside the courtroom, the other side was never able to stump him.

HIghly Recommend

I received Troy’s name as a referral from someone else when I was facing a contentious divorce. I interviewed three family law attorneys before choosing Troy to represent me and now my history with Troy goes back ten years. I utilized Troy’s expertise through my initial very stressful divorce and t...hen with additional maintenance items related to the divorce over the years. I can’t imagine not having his calm proficient expertise and demeanor available to anyone going through family law issues. Troy is extremely knowledgeable of his field; although a characteristic that I believe really differentiates Troy from other family law attorney’s is that Troy does not instigate and provoke bitter battles between the parties, instead he focuses on what is really in your best interest and important for your wellbeing and the family impacted. He is as aggressive as needed and will not back down or be intimidated by any other party or their attorney’s reputation but he also will not needlessly escalate the litigation in order to increase billing hours. Troy is efficient, timely, well prepared, extremely knowledgeable, strategic and most important has incredible integrity which leads me to believe he certainly can sleep at night. I highly recommend him to anyone facing a very difficult time related to family law issues.

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."
