Outstanding Attorney Services!

When seeking out an attorney, you are looking for someone who listens and truly cares about your personal and business success. Brian Klar and his team have proved themselves to be professional, thorough, informative and extremely helpful in 2 cases I’ve had thus far. The fact that I can simply reach... my attorney and talk to him personally and not his assistant or paralegal is what I truly admire the most! Brian was able to handle my matters in a timely and cost effective manner. I sleep better at night knowing I have an attorney who is diligent, respectful and simply superior to any other lawyer or law firm I have dealt with in the past! He will continue to be my voice in all future business dealings and for that I am truly grateful.

Excellent, compassionate attorney

After speaking with several attorneys following my job loss, I was debating about whether I wanted to deal with the expense and emotional energy involved in pursuing a case against my former employer. I will be forever grateful that a friend referred me to Brian. He was very thoughtful and thorough... in talking through the pros and cons of my hiring him and pursuing legal action in general. I did hire him and he was wonderful. He kept me very informed every step of the way, while also reminding me that I had hired him and that included letting him handle the stress of the situation. Given some of the other circumstances in my life at that point (cancer treatment being the big one), it was very helpful to be working with an attorney who saw me as a person and not just a client and acted accordingly. After a few exchanges, I had absolute faith that Brian would get the best resolution possible and he did, while also shielding me as much as he could from the unpleasantness and stress that is often part and parcel of legal action. I was very fortunate in that the whole process took about three months and did not end up in court. I would unequivocally recommend Brian to anyone looking for a lawyer in his designated specializations.

Employment Case

Mr. Klar was professional, yet personable. He pateintly explained all materials and proceedings. My case went on for over 3 years and he worked to ensure I was well represented and obtained what was an appropriate outcome. He is well worth it!

Awesome Attorney

I was referred to Brian by a friend. I needed to retain someone rather quickly and called his office. I was able to speak with him and set an appointment. He is professional in all aspects. He kept me up to date on my case and stood his ground for me. I’ve had several attorneys represent me throughou...t my life and he is the only one that has ever made me feel like he actually cared about the outcome for his client. I highly recommend him and will continue to have him represent me in any future endeavors.

Lack of direct communication with clients

I am an engineer who hired Attorney Brian Klar to represent my injuries. Unfortunately, the firm is understaffed at the moment. I would have appreciated them simply declining to take my case instead of dealing with the way my case is currently being handled, but there is no turning back now. In ...April, I was informed by Brian Klar's office that they had all the documentation needed to send a demand letter for my case. I requested an outline of the components to ensure the documentation was accurate. Brian Klar and his office refused to provide this information initially, until it became clear that they had not obtained the complete set of documentation for my case. It is August now, and it has been weeks since the second time they claimed to have gathered all the correct documentation for my case. I have only heard from office assistants and clerks who apologize for the lack of updates justified by a lack of staffing at the moment. I have left multiple messages requesting to speak directly with Brian Klar himself and had no success. Instead of being upfront about their inability to represent my complete and holistic injuries, this firm agreed to take my case. Now, I am hoping that they have enough time and resources simply to see my case through to the end. While their intentions may seem genuine, I would not recommend burdening this law firm with your services as they are currently overwhelmed and under staffed. (will update review if my experience changes)
