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.
