Criminal

Hang onto your wallet when visiting this thief. Asks for a $5k deposit, then thoroughly eats through that deposit with charges for things you didn't ask for. Charges attorney rates for legal assistant work. Over charges on time to do simple tasks. Next thing you know, deposit is used up. Will not ret...urn any portion of unused deposit if there is one. Wish I would have checked reviews before I forked over the deposit. You've been warned.

IF YOU WANT TO LOSE $$$ ZERO WORK COMPLETED BY ALL MEANS HIRE KLEIN

I hired this firm for an upcoming tax audit , Paid him $5000 as a deposit at the onset before he would start anything , I questioned him on why such a high deposit and he took offense with my Statement .. I paid anyway since we needed representation , Keep in mind ,prior to leading up to the meeting... in person , Klein returned the few phone calls himself and rather quickly. After he received the deposit , There were the sounds of Crickets , I’m not sure how you keep your Staff to cover for you , You either have high turnover or they are similar to you or maybe family? In any case , He literally performed 30 minutes of conversation with the DOR and that was it He actually hung me out to dry .. Luckily , I prevailed ... not with Klein’s assistance ..

Great job!!

Rodney and his office completed our estate planning. We found his fees to be very reasonable but most importantly his expertise and experience guided us through the process. It was very time efficient as well. Saw the other reviews complaining about computer generated documents. I would have no p...roblem recommending him to friends and family. Fantastic job.

Knowledgeable in his area of expertise

I used Mr. Klein a few years ago for estate planning and he was very easy to deal with. He processed my documents quickly and I felt like the presentation was very professional. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Very pleased with the estate planning work of Klein & Assoicates!

I'm shocked to read some of the other reviews! I used this firm at the advice of a friend who has also used this firm and we have both been very pleased with the results. He was very knowledgeable and his pricing was fair based on the caliber of work that was completed. Everything was done fairly qui...ckly in my case. Most importantly, I feel very comfortable with the work that was done.
