Litigation lawyer | May 23

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have hired Kenneth to perform work for my law firm in the areas of civil litigation, personal injury, intellectual property, and estate planning. His results are always outstanding, on time, and performed at a reasonable cost. I trust Kenneth to speak to my clients directly, and I always receive positive feedback from my clients after they have worked with him. I highly recommend Kenneth both for individuals who need to hire a trustworthy attorney, and for law firms that need a little extra help in their practice"

Litigation lawyer | Apr 07

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Kenneth is unquestionably one of the most dedicated and detail oriented attorneys that I've ever had the pleasure of having associated with my firm. I was his direct supervisor and can say without hesitation that not only has he always fought passionately for his clients and that which he believes in, but he also takes the time to sit with the clients, understand their needs and explain to them, exactly what is happening and why. It has been my pleasure to work with Kenneth in the past and it is my sincere hope that I will be able to work with him again in the future. In the meantime, I never hesitate to send any case, regardless of complexity to the Kleinkopf Law Firm."

Estate planning lawyer | Feb 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I unhesitatingly and enthusiastically endorse this lawyer! I had the privilege to work with Kenneth closely for a period of 5 months (from August to December 2010) and I've known him professionally since late 2008. Kenneth impressed me with his rapidly developing knowledge of estate planning. In fact, when he was associated with the Chhokar Law Group, P.C., we tasked Kenneth to draft all of the estate planning documents we delivered to our clients. Suffice it to say that Kenneth's work product was as good as anything I've ever seen (and I've been practicing estate planning law since 1996 and have drafted hundreds of trusts myself). This is particularly impressive given that Kenneth was just two years out of law school! I believe that Kenneth is as good an estate planning attorney as I've ever worked with and would be an excellent choice for clients who want to protect their families and their assets."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
