This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant, Exceptional, Results Driven Attorney! Highest Possible Recommendation!

Mr. Klein was my attorney for my gender discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claim. Upon meeting Mr. Klein, he gained my trust and confidence immediately. Mr. Klein’s superior knowledge and expertise of the laws, along with his negotiation and strategy expertise were INVALUABLE throughout ...the entire process. I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Klein’s professionalism, skillful knowledge, and his extraordinary compassion. Mr. Klein provided me with up to date information about my case, and was always straightforward with me. My questions and concerns were always addressed promptly. During this extremely stressful time in my life, Mr. Klein always minimized the stress and emotional impact on me. Mr. Klein is very honest and diligent, and was extremely efficient and effective in resolving my case. He resolved my case favorably and rapidly, and I am so happy to be able to move on! I would not have been able to do so without Mr. Klein’s phenomenal job and representation. I am deeply grateful to have had Mr. Klein as my attorney. With over 25 years of experience you can rest assured you are in exceptionally capable hands. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Klein, and his Firm!

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.
