Richard Lee Kliever

He did absolutely nothing in my child custody case I hired him and he was working with my ex more than he was me. My ex husband was awarded my children to live in his care and I had to pay child support. Within 9 months I went back to count on my own and full custody was giving back to me and now my ...children are grown and my ex husband is no longer in any of our lives for the things he has done. If you really care for the well being of your children don’t hire him!!!

I hired him a few years ago to get a custody order of my daughter. He really helped me write my statement letter explaining my situation to the judge. I have a hard time using the best words to describe what I'm trying to say, but he made my statement so powerful. I agreed to shared custody (hesitan...tly) but he ended up getting me sole custody! He's a great lawyer. His assistant was a little unorganized, but he was really good! Now I can work with my ex to set up visitation time, and he can't threaten to take her from me.

Terrible attorney. Left us hanging and left us out to dry at court. The judge ruled against us because Kliever did not file paper work. In fact he did not even show up with anything and sent his aid to go get it.. Money hungry and worthless. Please do not use this attorney. He lost what is most pre...cious to us and now we have to appeal and spend more money... They will promise you the world but drop the ball every time.. BEWARE.. You are for warned...

I chose this lawyer because at the time he was the only one willing to work with me on installment payments for the retainer. I was going through a divorce and currently still am! My estranged husband and I have no property together but we do have a young toddler. Not only is my divorce still pendi...ng but he suggested that I waive spousal support so I may get my husbands permission to move my child and I out of California. My lawyer also recommended I waive spousal support and pay my husband back for the debt I came into the marriage with! I have no job! I lost all my possessions in the divorce and am now a single mother! I was desperate and alone and just wanted to return home with my child. I felt as if my lawyer did not want to make an effort in getting what I needed to start my life over as a single mom! Once I paid another retainer fee and an ex Parte hearing and was given consent to move, my attorney could not be contacted for months! His staff would always say that he would try to return my phone calls and emails but he didn't! It took me threatening him to go to California's bar association to get a phone call back! Now we are going to trial and my attorney wants more money??!
