An excellent and knowledgeable attorney!

An excellent and knowledgeable attorney. Ms. Kleiner represented me over the years on three occasions; divorce, child support, and emancipation of my children. I recommend her services to anyone who needs assistance during these difficult life events.

Caring and competent

I found Risa to be very accessible and responsive. She walked me through all the steps of the process and explained everything that was going on.

Thoroughly Professional

Risa served as a mediator in a very difficult case. She was thorough in learning the facts of the case and the important issues which needed to be settled. She explored practical feasible settlement solutions taking into consideration the concerns of all. She used her time well, and the mediation ...time was productive.

Attorney Colleague Review

I have been a matrimonial attorney for twenty years and have worked with Risa Kleiner on numerous cases. I have found Risa to be extremely fair, knowledgeable, and responsive. If I have a conflict in a case or need to refer an attorney for the spouse, Risa is always at the top of my list. Positive... client reviews are critically important but Risa goes beyond this -- she is an attorney recommended by other attorneys. There is no higher compliment.

review of Risa Kleiner Esq. as a mediator

I have used Risa Kleiner as a mediator in a complicated case in which I represented one of the parties. She proved herself knowledgeable in family law at a sophisticated level and effective as a mediator. Risa has a pleasant personality that facilitates getting to an agreement.. I would use her ag...ain and recommend her without reservation.

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.
