Steve Klein made a very difficult experience easier and got me everything I was looking for. I would recommend him to anyone going through a tough divorce

That last comment was not written by a client, but apparently by the SPOUSE of a client angry that he lost. One of the downsides of the internet.

Divorce is not always a good experience, but under the guidance of Mr. Klein, I felt I was in competent hands throughout the process. Mr. Klein took me through the system with my best interest in mind at all points. It can become an emotional roller coaster and he took the time to set me back on track. Yet, I also needed someone who would not back down on my behalf, and he did not. I am very happy to have had this support from Mr. Klein, and the entire office staff who assisted with compassion.

Mr. Varble was very responsive to sensitive family law matters/questions (custody and divorce). He was prepared and very effective in the courtroom.

Steve Klein was my attorney for my child custody case and also my husbands for his children. For both cases he was always available to speak to me about my children and my rights, as he is very knowledgeable in this field, he knew my case and when certain situations came up he knew how to answer and give me the right advice. My husband and I both have custody of our children from previous relationships because of all the hard work Steve did for us.

Hired Attorney Steven Klein

I hired Steve Klein to handle my custody and divorce. I was amazed when he got child support and maintenance ordered from a judge so quickly. He answered all my questions and made me feel like I was in good hands. Steve saw me through my divorce from the beginning to the end. My ex tried to hide assets but Steve was able to get me a judgment based on ALL assets. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is even contemplating divorce. I wish I had taken the free consult earlier and not waited s

Hired Attorney Steven Klein

I felt confident with the way Steven Klein asserted his confidence to take on my divorce case with my abusive ex. during a free consult. Two years later and paying him over $20k, I could not see my future further implode under his counsel. I hired another attorney, Kelly Brady, who thankfully, cleaned up Klein's mess.

Hired Attorney Steven Klein

Khalil Owens was your Client and you failed her. Sanchez did not use any of the evidence we gave her to prove the false allegations made on her, and Sanchez and Klein left us hanging on our last day and didn't even show up to court but instead gave us a lawyer that had no information on the court and settled the case behind our backs. WASTE OF MONEY!!! and if you say that Khalil Owens was not a client of yours, then I will be pursuing legal matters against you. We were misrepresented hands down. You allowed someone who has a history of child abuse, and domestic violence to have full custody over kids that they are actively abusing and didn't you want to use any evidence that we collected for you because you did not want to do your job so we literally had to do it for you and yet still you failed miserably and now we are $3500 short and in the same predicament. Every bad review on this firm is %100 real and this firm needs to be investigated and shut down for malpractice IMMEDIATELY!!!

Steve Klein IS THE WORST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!!!! that I ever went to. In the beginning he said he would win, but once he got my money, everything changed. He charged me $150 an email. He has a policy of not speaking on the phone and just through emails. He's rude and insulting. I paid him $8000 dollars, when I finally went to another lawyer, he said about my file, "this is it?" that's all ? I threw my money down the drain. One time I went to court and he never showed up!!!

Steve Klein lost most rulings, did not deliver what he said he would, would not respond to time-sensitive critical matters, avoided phone calls, was double the fee he quoted, did not "catch" material changes in contracts... basically took my money, didn't deliver and then asked me to find another attorney.{para}He just didn't seem to care about my case. I was often left confused on where I stood and why my divorce was repeatedly postponed for over a year.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
