Philip Klatchko was my mother's attorney. He managed all arrangements for her Estate and drew her Will. He was incredibly thorough and easy for her to work with. After my mom passed away, I was appointed Executrix of her Estate. I turned to Philip to help me through this murky process... a job on...
"I have known this lawyer for over 30 years. Mr. Klatchko is highly regarded in our business and legal community. Over the years, I have had several matters with Mr. Klatchko and I have always been impressed with his deep commitment to his clients. I would have no hesitation in referring any of my clients to his office should any of the clients need his services."
"Phil is a very experienced and sharp attorney. I have worked with him on several matters, and have always found him to represent his clients effectively, using a practical and logical approach."
"I send a tremendous amount of trust and estate work to Phil, and all of my clients have been very happy with the work he's done."
