Bennett Klasky is CROOK

Years ago I hired Mr. Klasky to handle my divorce. What a mistake! In time, after compering his bills with activity with my ex attorney, I found that he overcharged me at least 2 times. So, I documented all and fired this S.O.B. I should have report him to Bar Association. Do not deal with this CROO...K!

Do not hire him

He is not honest at all, in the begging he makes you hopeful and ensure that he will win the case, just to convince you to pay him. After that he drags the case so he can charge you more. He lies a lot and just thinks about how to make more money out of you. Be very careful .

I used Mr. Klasky f my divorce

It took way more time than it should have, he told at the first meeting I would 60% bills and 40% assets. After two years and thousands of dollars that what turned out. He never got the lease for my x wife condo she renting, it was only after the divorce did I discover she had bought it with $90,000....00 down. When I pointed out that there thousands OF DOLLARS in appliance that she bought on my credit cards that never came to our house he did nothing. He never did find out where her pay check was deposited and accepted the fact that she said she was broke… The final straw was the day of my divorce was to be finalized he informed me my IRA would be part of property settlement. I reminded him that we had negotiated this as not joint property as I had not add to it since I was married. He told me that he and my wife attorney had agreed to change. I got the divorce that day fired him and hired another attorney who got it declared that it was not joint property. Do not hire him for anything.

Beware-Klasky will take the longest route.

I used Klasky for a small lawsuit a couple of years ago and found that instead of resolving which could have been done, Klasky found a way to continue fighting the case and charging me more money. I finally decided to pull the case from him and settled it myself within 24 hours. Beware of this guy......

A Totally Great Attorney!

I used Mr. Klasky for both my divorce and my bankruptcy. In both cases he was an amazing and supportive attorney. During my divorce he made sure that things were fair and realistic. I applaud and thank him for rather painless divorce and bankruptcy experiences!
