Effective. Knowledgable. Professional. A True Advocate.
Mrs. Klein is an attorney that truly listens. She is extremely knowledgeable and will thoroughly explain all of the available alternatives and choices. She consistently advocates with passion and integrity. Her patience, compassion, and respect for others is what sets her apart. I found my answers and much needed clarification in her assessment and I am thankful I sought her counsel. I would most definitely hire her.

Made my issue go away as promised
I contacted Beth because she came highly recommended from my business attorney. Beth went out of her way to meet me and discuss my issue outside of normal business hours. She was extremely aware of all the players in the case including my employer´s attorney, the insurance company´s attorney, and the type of litigation I was involved in. I think this deep knowledge helped bring the issue to quick closure. The big reason I went to see Beth was that I was feeling pressured by various attorneys in a case that I hand no real claim. I had no representation, but once I brought in Beth to protect my rights, I felt the weight lift off my shoulders and the other parties backed off. This gave me the peace of mind that was more than worth it.

Attorney
I have consulted with Mrs. Klein on a variety of legal issues regarding personal injury cases. Her insight into the law is excellent. She has a creative way of looking at issues, and can find solutions even when I thought there were none. I believe her intuition about how personal injury cases can and should be handled is unsurpassed. She is dedicated to her clients and works extremely hard for her clients to be successful.

Beth Klein is a Great Lawyer and a Great Person; I won my case big!
Beth Klein took my case after I interviewed many attorneys. She told me that she would return my calls the same day; she always did. She told me I could ask her any question any time; and she was always there for me. She told me that she would explain the process to me and respect my decisions; she took a lot of time with me, she helped me make great choices, and she gave me courage. She told me that I was welcome to visit her any time, and I was welcomed by Beth and her entire staff. I felt very cared for. I am so happy with my case settlement, and I never imagined that it would go this well. I know Beth and her firm worked extremely hard for me, and I am so grateful. She and her team helped me so much. Everything she said she would do she did. I got the best lawyer ever. Hire Beth, and you will have a great lawyer to help you.

Honest, Talented, Realistic, and Compassionate
Those four words best describe Beth Klein as an attorney and person. I know of no other personal injury plaintiff's attorney who has the depth of knowledge and experience that Beth Klein possesses. Her practice ranges from automobile accidents, to mass tort, to class actions. She has done and seen it all.

Klein Frank P.C.
An amazing experience! After our son`s accident, we had to find a lawyer to protect him. Not knowing how to find the best, we asked another lawyer the following questions: If you were the injured, who would you hire? She told me Beth Klein. I then asked, if you could not get Mrs. Klein, who would be your second choice? Her answer was: There is no second choice, get Beth Klein and make sure you are prepared before meeting with her. This was the best advice ever! Mrs. Beth Klein, Mrs. Carrie Frank and their team were passionate, dedicated and gave us great advice all along this very complex process. They were available during every stages and they were relentless during the discovery stage. Even after the settlement was finalized, they are still available to us. Klein Frank P.C. is an amazing team. Réal

A Warrior for Justice
Our personal injury situation quickly became overwhelming as we were faced with numerous medical issues and the costs associated with them. We needed someone who could expertly navigate the insurance system. We needed someone we could trust supremely so we could focus on healing both physically and emotionally. We needed someone with the experience and integrity to work tirelessly on our behalf and ultimately win what we deserved. We were blessed and so very grateful to have Beth Klein partner with us during this journey. Beth Klein is the most necessary person you hope to never need.

Professional Reference
Beth has a no nonsense approach to solving / resolving painful and complicated situations. She is efficient, knowledgable and compassionate. She is unique in that she is a victims advocate without peer. Superior Legal skill combined with practical exerience. Beth knows how cut through the delays and tactics used to complicate legal proceedings with a surgeon like efficiency. She undertook representing us in a complicated situation that had been compromised and compounded by bad faith representation by another legal firm. The resolution that she and her co-counsel acheived on our behalf was life affirming

Awsome experience with Mrs Klein
Our son was injured in a rappeling accident. It was a complicated case involving multiple witnesses and defendants. Mrs Klein was very thorough in her investigation leading her to discover the fact surrounding the incident. She went above and beyond to defend our case. She was very attentive, honest and caring. We are extremely satisfied and we highly recommend Mrs Klein.

Beth Klein - Lady Justice Incarnate
When searching for legal representation one should ask for three primary criteria. First, does this attorney have the critical experience to fight for my cause? The second criteria would be does this person have the staying power to go the entire fifteen rounds for me? Lastly, can I trust this individual to do what’s is in my best interest and not their own? In Beth Klein, I found an attorney who filled all three without reservation. In her representation of me, she proved to be tireless, determined, and continually taught her opposing counsel on the finer points of Law. I was genuinely taken by the manner in which she generated the belief that the opposition’s defense was so shallow. In retrospect, Beth Klein is not a good lawyer. No, she is one of the best legal minds to ever step inside of a courtroom.

Beth Kleiin Recommendation
I had the pleasure to work with Beth on a suit against a street painting company. The company was painting the local county roads by putting down white paint to show the edge of the road. As part of the painting process they spray a film of minute round plastic balls which are used for refrection. The painting truck was painting around a corner and had put the paint at the edge of the road but left a strip of glass balls out into the middle of the intersection. I was riding on a bicycle when I came around the corner, hit the glass balls which caused me to lose traction, crash to the street and broke my clavicle. I contacted the painting company who put me in contact with their insurance company. I sent the insurance company a letter saying all I wanted was for the insurance company to cover my lost wages and medical expenses. I received a curt letter in return saying that the painting company was not at fault and insinuated that it was my bad bike handling that caused the crash. It was about that time I had sent a sent a notice out to my cycling club notifying them about the hazard and to be extremely careful. I received an e-mail back from another member of the club who had been riding that same day and had crashed on exactly the same corner due to the glass beads. At that point I decided to sue and was given Beth's name by a friend who recommended her as an attorney. Beth was able to build a case against the painting company and was able to prove that they were at fault. She was able to produce photographic evidence showing that the company had continued to have bad practices with dispensing these plastic beads and was able to produce an affidavit from the other cyclist witnessing that he had crashed on the same corner specifically due to the hazardous glass beads. The insurance company at that point decided to settle and I was able to receive just compensation for my medical expenses and lost wages.
