The Best Attorney in Town!!!
I hired Mr Varble to represent me in a case that I was sure I was going to lose. Needless to say, Mr Varble was a positive light in a dark tunnel. He turned everything around and made my life better. He was attentive to my needs and always returned my calls in a timely manner , Made me feel secure in my choices and I never doubted his ability. In a nutshell, Mr Varble is the best attorney in town. I would recommend him to anybody.

Custody battle.
I'm so grateful for Mikes dedication to helping me with my Family Court case. I truly believe if I hired any other attorney my outcome would not have been as great. His knowledge and drive to win is commendable!

Michael Varble, Esq. is a great attorney!
I would recommend Michael Varble, Esq., without a doubt. His knowledge, combined with his caring, helped during a very difficult period in my life. With his ability to "fight" for me, he gave me the strength to go on with my life and know that I was in very capable hands. I can't thank him or his team enough.

Legal Paperwork
I needed documents to protect a sibling with disabilities. I contacted Michael Varble and he responded right away. Within the week I had the legal paperwork I needed and my sibling and I have peace of mind. Michael Varble went one step further and described to me what I may expect in the future and the steps I will need to take when that situation arises. I am grateful for that information.

job well done!
After a terrible fall I was recommended to Mr. Varble by my mother in law who found him through his amazing reviews. I am so glad I listened to her. Mr. Varble and his staff not only took care of my case, but he took excellent care of me as well. He managed to settle my case in under a year, reduced my medical expenses, and got more than I was expecting monetary wise. I would highly recommend Klein, Varble, and associates to anyone!

He called me on a Saturday!
I had a accident about a year ago and I called the office on a Saturday! Michael Varble called me himself later that day. We waisted no time getting a appointment. The office staff is pleasant. I knew I wanted him to represent me, when he called me on his day off. He keeps me informed, and returns phone calls, and emails within hours. I am glad to have him in my corner. I feel so less worried about things with Mr. Varble. He is knowledgable and no matter how busy he is, he never makes you feel like your case isn't important. This firm is a diamond in The Hudson Valley. One of the best. Williams.
