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.
Steven G. Klesner's Lawyer Endorsements
"Steve and I paths do not cross often professionally. That said he is the first person that I would refer to in specialty of bankruptcy and foreclosure. I have been around his office enough to know that he cares about his clients and goes the extra mile."
"I endorse this lawyer. Steve is very knowledgeable and a great consumer advocate. He's also a great resource for other lawyers-always willing to help when someone else has a question."
"Steven is a respected member of the Iowa bankruptcy bar. I practice in West Des Moines and have often called on Steven for his wise counsel on difficult/complex issues that have come up on my cases. Steven is a researcher. He consistently impresses me with his extensive knowledge not just of the overarching themes of consumer bankruptcy but also the nitty gritty, the little things that can take a client to a smooth discharge. Steven will dig into your case and spend time with you rather than shuffling you off to an assistant. I would encourage anyone fortunate enough to be in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City/Muscatine area or anywhere in Iowa to trust Steven with your bankruptcy case!"
