Quality
Mr.Klein was very flexible with payment plans and understanding throughout my process. My family and I are very grateful. The phrase you get what you pay for applies to Steve. I am proud to have paid for great services when it came to the future of my life.

DUI
He did everything he had to do to avoid me doing a lot more then what the judge was planning to sentence me with. Considering it was my 1st DUI and triple the limit , he still pulled it off and got me good results. And I say good because no jail time.

Overall, an excellent experience
Stephen was friendly, informed, confident, and knew his stuff. When we met he had already done the footwork and my issue was all but resolved. I was very happy to have him when I saw the temperaments of the other lawyers with their clients at the court house!

Good lawyer
Overall it was ok. I wish there was a better way for communicating to meet up before the actual court date. As I was looking around to see who my attorney is.
Steve Klein
Replied last January 15, 2013Muhamad and I spoke about our strategy prior to his court date on multiple occasions. Since it was a traffic case, I did not want to charge him extra fees for meeting at my office prior to the case, so we just met at the court house for the first time.
