Where to start?

I never thought my "custody battle" would last as long as it did. Going into year 3 now and I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Lisa and her whole team. Mine was not an ordinary case and at times I felt like I was fighting an uphill battle, but I always knew what was going on and I was alwa...ys "in the loop." Lisa was very honest with me. She told me when to compromise and she told me when not to give in and each time- it wasn't about me or my son's father- but about my son and what was best for him. I read a couple of reviews that she didn't return phone calls and I can't believe it- my phone calls were always returned and she would listen to me and let me cry, scream, rant and rave! Angela and L'Tea were so good to me and so helpful! They got to know me and my son and it showed. I am telling you....if you ever need to go into a courtroom- you want Lisa on your side- hands down!

Compassionate Attorney

Ms. Kleinberg and her staff have always been willing to help. Anytime I had a question they would respond in a timely manner. She was always on time to all of the court meetings and conference calls. She would call me on her way to court and ask if there was anything I had questions about. I ne...ver felt like I was in the dark with her. She was always upfront and honest with me. She is a very compassionate lady and understands children come first. Ms. Kleinberg is very understanding when it comes to finances being tight during a divorce and is willing to work with you. Just don’t take advantage. Ms. Kleinberg definitely knows her family law. She was recommended to me from a friend and I drove over an hour to meet with her and I am so glad I did. Hopefully I will never be in a situation where I would need to hire her but if I was I would in a heartbeat.

Very Knowledgeable, Trustworthy and Compassionate Attorney

Lisa Kleinberg knows her family law. She was very knowledgeabel with alimony and child support. Lisa ALWAYS returned my calls in a timely manner, maybe not that day but the following day, as she does have other clients. Lisa was focused on making sure that my kids and I got what was rightfully our...s. I had never been through a divorce before (married over 20+ years) nor would I wish this on anyone. Lisa was very supportive in helping me understand what all the legal terminology meant. Lisa took on my case knowing that I was in Hillsborough County and that it would be at least an hour drive to the court house and most likely a couple of trips until the case was over. She never was late and was always in communication with me on her way there letting me know where to meet her so we could talk before going into the court room. Every time I would call her office knew who I was and was always pleasant to speak with. Not only did I have the office phone I also had Lisa’s personal cell number. Lisa goes into the court room with her documents in prepared and in a file that is organized. She is a class act when it comes to representing. If I ever need an attorney again she will be my first choice. I hoping I never have to but not because of her. Lisa, L’tea and Angie you all are amazing and helped me through one of the hardest times of my life!

horrible

I hired lisa for a divorce, after spending way too much money for nothing, I had to find a different atty. She does not return phone calls, she allowed me to have a motion to compel put on me and my case, I had provided her with all of the necessary information and documents in a very timely manner a...nd way ahead of her deadline for me to have them. When I asked her about this she simply said that the court deadline was just a soft date and not to worry. I would not recommend her to anyone unless you want to be treated poorly and not represented properly.
