Steven G. Klesner

Steve Klesner understands that legal proceedings can be intimidating, if not downright scary. I was both intimidated and afraid, as I had no training in this field. From his calm, friendly manner to his constant willingness to explain every aspect of my case to my satisfaction, Mr. Klesner's patient, yet direct approach consistently communicated tremendous training and knowledge to me, as well as (and perhaps more importantly) to all other parties involved in my case. He and his staff are responsive and thorough. I communicated with him via phone, fax, email, and in person. All calls were handled in person and all messages were returned immediately. Rates were quoted up front, and he always made time for me when I had questions. He was always on time. I have never met a more knowledgeable lawyer. Most importantly, because of his very thorough, yet efficient data-collection process, my case was over in no time, the process was completely painless, and I learned a ton of valuable information that will help me in moving forward with my life. Steve walked me though the entire process and I got to keep my house, my cars, and my sanity. I am now much more organized, and much better prepared to handle my financial future. I am glad Steve Klesner was my first call when I needed legal help, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs assistance.

Steven G. Klesner was my attorney for my recent bankruptcy. In addition, he advised me on an earlier issue involving a creditor. Prior to my hiring Steve and proceeding with filing bankruptcy, he advised me about the meaning of this filing for my life. I felt that he offered sincere objective advice in a time of great turmoil. Because of his assistance, I will be better to handle my financial issues in the future. While bankruptcy is not something anyone wishes to have to do, when faced with job loss or other devastating life events, it is an important option for us to consider. Steve took the time that I needed to consider such a step. HIs legal work for the filing was excellent and he kept me informed throughout the process about what I needed to do next or what to expect. He is not only an excellent attorney he is compassionate and understanding but retains his objectivity in order to truly be of service during difficult times. I felt I truly had an advocate to rely on throughout this process.

I highly recommend Steven Klesner as a bankruptcy lawyer. He was knowledgeable about the laws/requirements and always explained the paperwork to my satisfaction. He was available for questions and his assistant Dawn was also extremely helpful. He made a difficult situation much easier.

I had an hour complimentary consultation that far exceeded my expectations. He clearly communicated the bankruptcy process from start to finish and answered my questions thoroughly. It is an emotional time for me and he was compassionate during the session. I now have the information to make an informed decision to proceed. He clearly explained next steps and his fees if I decide to move forward. I appreciate all that he has shared and taught me. Thank you, Steven!

Steven stepped in and helped clean up a mess that a different bankruptcy lawyer had made. He had found holes in the paperwork and errors that should not have been there; things that could have seriously affected my case. While communication could have been slightly improved, I felt I could get answers from him when needed. It was clear to me that he takes his job seriously, yet still enjoys it. The best part, he did the work pro bono as I was unable to afford to pay for another attorney. He also helped get the previous lawyer fee refunded as well. I will definitely recommend Steven Klesner for people who are considering bankruptcy as he is a consummate professional with a genuine interest in helping people achieve their bankruptcy needs.

Mr. Steven Klesner is a superb attorney who is not only expertly-qualified, but is also highly financially-considerate of his clients. Unlike other attorneys, who charge you every time they cough, Mr. Klesner was very efficient in the office and would not contact me unless he had specific answers to my legal questions. Too often, other attorneys are more than happy to call and email you, or repeatedly invite you to confer in their office, even if they don't have any answers to your questions or already fully-understand your legal situation per your explanations, just so that they can rack up extra billable hours (legal charges). Mr. Klesner and his legal assistant, Dawn, were most professional in this regard. Though on rare occasions I had to wait 1 or 2 days until they had the chance to confer with other attorneys, research the law, etc., since they too have to wait for answers from their sources and have other legal clients to serve, Mr. Klesner or his legal assistant, Dawn, always got back to me within reasonable time with very clear explanations of my legal options. They also emailed me copies of important legal documents and appear to have good working relationships with other attorneys. Thanks to Mr. Klesner, our case was resolved successfully and all the monies recovered minus legal costs were returned to my senior citizen parents (the monies recovered were in partial fulfillment of a previously-agreed-upon dual-party legal settlement to immediately return previously-gifted monies to my parents upon the sale of specific properties). Steven G. Klesner has my greatest respect, both as an attorney and as a human being. He is an extremely ethical and expert attorney whom I trust and value. You will be in no better legal hands.

Excellent, very helpful. Always had an answer for any questions. Steve's assistant, Dawn, was very helpful, too. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Mr. Klesner was able to assist me in successfully & efficiently filing an international bankruptcy. I had lived in the Caribbean, Iowa, Africa, & Wisconsin for the time in question. Mr. Klesner was able to cohesively work through all the details while I was in Africa & Wisconsin. I am an Iowa Farmboy at heart, having been born / raised in central Iowa. He & I also share both Central College & the University of Iowa as our alma maters. Use Steve & you will be happy.

Filing Chapter 11 was not an easy decision but in the end was my only option. Steve was personalble, considerate of my feelings, and answered my questions. It helped take the fear\ and guilt out of filing bankrupcy. His assitant was always very nice and usually available if Steve wasn't so you really have a team helping you.

Mr. Klesner was competent but communication is not his strong suit. Once you have been to court you might as well forget trying to get questions answered. We have emailed and called with no response. Guess once they have your money your importance is done.
