I was so worried that no one would understand what it meant to have a special needs child during divorce. Mr. Klein knew about this in detail and I know has written and dealt with so many of these situations. Now, she is protected and the Court, thanks to Richard, understood that special care was needed when it came to custody and parenting time. I am so grateful that I found an attorney with his degree of knowledge. His fees are fair and he demonstrated unbelievable compassion.
Over 10 years ago Mr. Klein handled my divorce. He negotiated an agreement that worked perfectly. All of these years later, when it came time for me to retire, I went back to him. I would not consider another attorney. He has argued forcefully in Court for me and I know that I am in the best of hands with him.
I had a spouse who would simply not follow Court Orders. Richard knew just how to get the protection for myself and my daughter that I needed. He was always there with kind words and skilled beyond my expectations.
