David Marion Kleckner

David is the most unprofessional, rude, insensitive, and judgemental lawyer you can hire. David wasn’t my lawyer, but he represented someone who sexually assaulted me, and when this person got a very nice plea deal that I did not agree to, David decided to make comments directed at me and actually sp...eak to me like nothing happened. He also called me while this trial went on and definitely tampered with evidence.

I called this person about a landlord/tenant dispute. I explained my situation and was quickly told, "I'm on the landlord's side"!! He treated me like I was just trying to get an easy payday or break lease early without consequences... which I made clear I wasn't. I simply wanted to have a peaceful p...lace to live. He was unnecessarily harsh and abrasive. There must be a way to tell someone you don't think they have a case or that you don't want to take their case without being cruel! By the end of the short conversation, I was completely in tears! I was looking for help, and instead was made to feel like I was being mistreated by not only the landlord I was seeking advice about, but the lawyer I was hoping could help. I wouldn't trust this man with a traffic ticket, or wish him on my worst enemy! No one deserves that kind of treatment!

The review posted right before mine on Jan 25, 2017 is the exact same experience I went through. It's unbelievable that a man supposed to be helping others can be so unprofessional, intimidating, and horrifically rude to the point of literally yelling at me on the phone and making me burst into tears... for missing my bond hearing, which he failed to even tell me about. I hired a new amazing lawyer to represent me and the bond forfeiture was dismissed. This man harassed not just myself, but my father as well who had to loan money just to pay him... and this is how unprofessional he is: he asked us to meet us on a Saturday afternoon with the obscene amount of money in CASH. He asked us to meet him at the parking lot of a Popeyes, and we waited half an hour until he showed up on a bicycle to collect the money from us. Never saw him again. He appeared at my first hearing over an hour late but my new lawyer was already there present with me from the very beginning. When Kleckner finally showed up in his wrinkly old suit and untidy appearance , we were already inside the court room and my lawyer let him know he was taking over.

So I got arrested for a misdeamenor back in July 2015. My parents posted my bail and called David Kleckner. He asked $2,000 from my parents. My parents had to borrow money just to bail me out. He called me and he said his retainer was $5,000. I said no and hired a really great attorney who worked wit...h me to expunge my case. Now it's 1/25/2017 and I learned that my case was disposed and bond was released on 12/01/2016. I called the county clerk and they said it was released to David Kleckner and the amount of my bail is only $335.20! The clerk told me that I was supposed to get my money back and I should call David Kleckner because he processed the check to be released to him. I called him and he said that he worked VERRRRY HARD to bail me out that night really fast. Uhhh, you bailed me out during morning time and you took more than 18 hours. He also said he did a lot of paperwork for me. I asked him if he has my paperwork, he said he does not and the court has them. I asked him why he told my parents my bail was $2,000 and he said that was the cost of his services and the bond. I asked him if he can send me a copy of the agreement he and my parents signed. He said "we shook hands." Wait, what? What kind of lawyer does not have any paperwork?! My parents told me they have never met David Kleckner and they only spoke on the phone and my "bond" was paid using my parents credit card. He was very arrogant and defensive on the phone. What a low life. Taking advantage of people in their lowest point of their life for his own personal advances. PLEASE NEVER CALL OR HIRE THIS PERSON. I would not even call him an attorney. I will be sending a letter to their board about this.

I hired Mr. Kleckner to represent my son in a Misdemeanor case and was sorely disappointed in the level of attention he gave to the case. He made it very clear that he didn't like my son and I was under the impression that because of this he was not willing to get the best possible outcome for him. ... He was aloof and uninterested in the case from the beginning. I would not recommend hiring this attorney under any circumstances.
