He will fight for you

Absolutely the best attorney. My child custody situation was ongoing for years, with horrific evidence regarding my ex's actions being completely ignored and dealing with attorneys who just try to make deals rather than consider the safety of my child. Russell Kloosterman is so different from that! H...e listens and has an amazing memory for the facts of your case. He is very communicative, actually receives and responds to calls and texts, and has an excellent understanding of the intricacies of the legal system. And most importantly he actually advocated for me rather than advocating for my ex to me to try and get a deal worked out. He was no compromise on my child's safety. He's a good God-fearing man and when my case was won he said, "Give God the glory."

Best Attorney around...

My experience, as the majority of the reviews I have read and would agree with, are nothing but spectacular thoughts and feelings regarding Mr. Kloosterman. I want everyone to know that my personal experience with Mr. Kloosterman on two legal cases we faced with Mr. Kloosterman, in my opinion, an...d many others who I know, that know him, is that he is one of the best attorneys not only in East Tennessee but possibly the whole state of Tennessee. Mr. Kloosterman has honor and integrity; I have witnessed this in and out of the courtroom and in trial. He fights for his clients, but at the same time, he also knows what is right not only as an officer of the court but also as a man of God. Everyone I have ever spoken to regarding Mr. Kloosterman, including other lawyers, judges, and state representatives, all have said nothing but the highest regard and respect for Mr. Kloosterman. He is very diligent and respectful to all. In our cases, he was very thorough, doing legal research citing the law to opposing counsel and the judges. He advised us of our options and potential outcomes in both cases and allowed us to make very informed decisions regarding our cases as we moved forward. I have and will always continue to highly recommend Mr. Kloosterman as he genuinely cares for his clients, is an excellent lawyer, and, more importantly, a fantastic man. He has always made himself available to us after hours and even weekends! Mr. Kloosterman has taken calls from me well after midnight in emergencies and talked to me after hours for extended periods of time. This is a committed lawyer whom you can trust and who truly cares for people, and it shows. Mr. Kloosterman is not only respectful but very courageous. He is highly intelligent but humble, which does not mean he will not stand up for you. In one of our cases, I witnessed him shut down the State Attorney and a high-ranking attorney from Nashville, Kingsport, Johnson City, and Carter County in the same hearing where the judge agreed with Mr. Kloosterman's legal arguments in support of his client, which happened to be me. If you want one of the best attorneys in the area who will respect and listen to what you say and be a fighter in the courtroom, I highly recommend Russell Kloosterman.

Visitation with my only son

Kloosterman helped me to have visitation with my only son while a scumbag named Todd tried to delay it for two years so I couldn't even see him ever, Dylan is very happy and doing well despite Todd. Dylans whole life has turned around for the better, me and his mother are getting along and would like... to pursue damages against Todd and his little law firm. I'm hoping that Stephen Todd will be disbarred and dismissed for unethical behavior as I had to blackmail him into showing up to mediation because I had photo and video evidence that he was intentionally delaying meditations for over 4 months. Todd not only disrespected the courts but he also violated his oath, please someone report him and have him removed as an attorney.

Best family and criminal lawyer

Russell not only helped me with a 12 year old v.o.p that he ended up getting dismissed, but he also took on a child support issue for me and got me what I wanted on that also , I highly recommend this man he is the best hands down !

Great Criminal Lawyer!!! He is the BEST!

This man is great! I have been in trouble before but never had an attorney be so active. He investigated my situation and reviewed my case with me. I never had an attorney do this. He worked hard on my case and got it dismissed!!! He is very professional and I would recommend him to everyone if ...your in trouble. Thanks Mr. Kloosterman - I can never give you enough praise!
