About Paulo

Learn Paulo’s areas of practice.

Before starting the Kline Simon Law Firm, I spent nearly a decade of my legal career defending lawsuits across the State of California filed by people who were seriously injured by large retailers, construction companies, manufacturers, trucking companies, and insurance companies at one of the top defense firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ultimately, I realized that I could do more by helping those who have been injured and need someone to be their voice.

At the Kline Simon Law Firm we have the experience, compassion, and resolve to fight for those who have been injured, treated unlawfully in the workplace, or whose housing rights have been denied. We’ll be in your corner for your legal fight while you focus on your recovery and putting your life back together.

Unlike large injury firms, we work closely with our clients to give each of them the personal attention needed to ensure they receive what they are entitled to under the law. If your legal matter is not within our expertise, we can help you find an attorney. Call or email today for a free consultation.

Highly recommended
Paulo was an awesome lawyer! There are a lot of shady characters in the personal injury business, and Paulo is definitely not one of them. He was super professional and easy to communicate with. He always took the time to explain things to me, walk me through the process, and answer any questions I had. Most importantly, we got to a settlement that I was happy with. Could not recommend him more!

Great attorney!
When I was hit by an ambulance that ran a red light with no sirens or light, I was lost and didn’t know what to do after that. A friend highly recommended Paulo Kline to me. He took my case and took care of everything. He was excellent at communicating to me every step of the way! I always felt I was in great hands. He fought for me and I received a way better settlement than I would have received on my own. He’s extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of an attorney.

Excellent Lawyer
I highly recommend Paulo S Kline Simon. I had a complicated injury case in CA. Paulo s Kline Simon handled my case as if I were his only client. He was always there for me and available if I had any questions. He was with me every step of the way. During my recovery I needed to move out of state. Paulo had a court appointed nurse assigned to me to navigate and get the care I needed in GA. Because of the Covid restrictions our case was settled on video conferencing. I felt he was in the same room with me. Paulo S Kline Simon settled the case for me with a solid outcome. He navigated me through some very difficult times and I highly recommend his services.

I had a complicated case and was on the fence about what the outcome would be. I spoke with Paulo and his communication and expertise put me at ease immediately. The Kline Simon Law Firm ended up getting me a settlement that was well beyond my expectations. Do not hesitate to contact this law firm I highly recommend them

Stress Free Process
When one is recovering from an injury the last thing that you want to worry about is your finances. Attorney Simon made my claim a very smooth and easy process. I was not worried at all as to my claim being denied or that my funds would be short changed in any way. He made me feel confident that I would receive every penny that was available to my claim. He did all the heavy lifting and my job was just to recover! I have no hesitation in recommending Attorney Simon in his field of expertise.

Excellent Lawyer
I knew my Paulo may want to win my case. During the complete procedure, the team of workers assigned to my case saved me knowledgeable about everything happening. Any questions I had had been continually answered once I called and requested. If I needed to go away a message, a call changed into continually again in a decent time manor. Over all, Paulo Sergio and his co-workers have been remarkable when it came to dealing with me and my case. Thank you!!!

Comprehensive Consultation
Paulo was extremely helpful in understanding our rights related to a litigation involving an old car accident. His experience as a defense attorney was evident as he was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to explain the process and the implications for us. Paolo took the time to cover all aspects and provided invaluable insights related to our case. Highly recommend his services.

Highly Competitive Service
I needed help during my negotiations and dealing with the insurance company regarding a total loss of vehicle. I reached out to Mr Paulo Kline after I got a referral. He provided deep insights into what's involved that I otherwise had not been able to figure after months of the date of occurrence of the incident. He is a gem of a legal mind and knows the nuances. I recommend him with the highest possible rating. I will go back to him again whenever I need legal advice

Highly skilled and very experienced advocate.
When finding a good lawyer, you not only want one who is knowledgeable of the legal aspects of your case, but one who is also well versed in the nuances of the process. This alone can tip the scales in your favor. With his years of courtroom and general litigation experience, Paulo is all of the above. I contacted him regarding a personal injury case and he was able to walk me through the convoluted process in layman's terms. I knew exactly what information to get, what questions to ask, and more importantly, what to do next. He calmly guided me through a very anxious time and made sure I was sufficiently equipped for what lied ahead. I highly recommend Paulo's advocacy and trust him completely.

Paulo is an excellent attorney and advocate. He is familiar with personal injury and general liability claims from the perspective of the Plaintiff and the perspective of defense counsel and the insurance company. He is adept at negotiations and is a great person to have at your side when going though a tough legal battle. Would highly recommend.

"I've known Paulo since our first day of law school. In the years since, I have had many opportunities to observe his work in academic, social and professional realms. Paulo is one of the most intelligent, capable and hardworking individuals that I have ever met. He can be trusted to get a job done quickly without mistakes or complaints. My confidence in his abilities as an attorney has allowed me to refer numerous complicated cases to him without hesitation. Some of these referrals have been personal acquaintances of mine who later tell me how greatly satisfied they were with Paulo's representation of their interests. Additionally, Paulo is a very likable person who is fun to work with and be around. I would very highly recommend him to anyone."
