About

Over 25 office locations throughout Pennsylvania.  Call for nearest office location.My background as a Former Senior Deputy District Attorney sets me apart from other attorneys. I have handled in excess of 7,500 criminal cases as well as thousands of Bankruptcy cases over the past 25+ years in practice. My experience as a trial attorney allows me to examine the case from both sides to best represent my clients.My philosophy about the way I practice law is the same as what I tell my children - Treat people the way you wish to be treated. I treat my clients the way I would want to be treated if I were experiencing legal problems, with honesty, kindness and respect.  I feel that a good lawyer should be financially affordable and I charge a fair price for my services. In addition, flexible payment plans can be arranged and we accept all major credit cards.I talk to new clients over the phone, for however long it takes. When clients call me, I explain their options, give them my honest opinion about what could happen to them and I even quote them a fee and a payment plan, right over the phone. I don't tell clients what they want to hear, nor do I scare clients into retaining me. I will never tell a client "Don't worry about it." What I do is tell clients the truth, right over the phone, because I believe that an informed client is the best client. Again, if I were having legal problems, that is the way that I would want to be treated.I have over 200 Five-Star client reviews on Avvo, but this is the review I am most proud of: "Ellis made me feel like my DUI was our problem, not just mine."**Source: www.Avvo.com client reviewsCall me for a free in-depth telephone consultation to see why I am a different breed of lawyer.

Ellis remained professional throughout my whole legal process. He was transparent and made the next steps clear-cut every step of the way. I was fortunate enough to have multiple misdemeanors dropped to a disorderly conduct ticket. I am very grateful for Ellis and his preparation in helping me move on with my life. I would recommend his services to anybody who is in need of honest, effective representation. Thank you Ellis

When I was arrested for DUI, I was referred to Mr. Ellis Klein by a family member who consulted with several attorneys and retained Ellis. He was very happy with the outcome Ellis achieved on his behalf. He specifically was impressed with how professional, polished, and knowledgable Ellis is. My case was more complicated than my relative's case, however, I heard such good things about Ellis that I decided to retain him immediately. Having a trusted advisor at a time like this is priceless. During every interaction I had with Ellis, he treated me with respect, warmth, and compassion. Ellis earned my trust quickly. He was almost always available when I called. When he was in court or with another client, he returned my calls/emails the same day and often within an hour. He explained every step of the process but because I was so overwhelmed and not absorbing everything immediately, I often asked him to repeat information. Ellis was extremely patient and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening now and what to expect next. During my court appearances, I observed how Ellis interacted with judges, police officers, ADAs, court personnel, etc...He clearly is well respected and has very good relationships within the legal community. Ellis' technical expertise is impressive, however, what sets him apart from other attorneys is his well developed professional network...this is a critical attribute when someone is representing you! Seeing how well regarded Ellis is by the people in a position to decide my fate inspired me with confidence in my decision to work with Ellis. As Ellis predicted, I was originally turned down for ARD. This meant I would lose my license for a year, have a record (which would impact my career), and spend time in jail. The prospect of going to jail distressed me the most. Mr. Klein was direct and honest with me. He did not promise anything other than to work diligently on my behalf. I was grateful that Ellis did not make false promises. Ellis encouraged me to appeal my ARD denial. Although I didn't have hope for a positive outcome and wanted to accept the decision, Ellis was the voice of reason and followed up with me to submit an appeal. I am so glad that I listened to my trusted advisor...my denial was overturned and I was granted ARD! This was an outcome far better than I expected. Nothing short of a miracle!! Ellis advocated tirelessly on my behalf when I wanted to give up. He took steps to ensure the court treated me as an individual and not just another file on the DA's desk. I would not have fought as hard for myself as Ellis fought for me. I would not have gotten the results I did on my own or with another attorney. I saw first hand that Ellis stands out from his peers. The only reason I avoided jail time is because Ellis represented me. If you are charged with a DUI, do not try to navigate this process on your own. Do not hire an attorney who is abrasive and/or doesn't have a good relationship with the people who will be deciding your case. Once you've made the right decision to retain Ellis, do these three things... 1. Listen to everything he says. 2. Follow his instructions. 3. Take comfort in the fact you are being represented by THE BEST!

Was coming home from work in the Pennsylvania area and live in New Jersey. On my way home unfortunately, I received a citation for speeding in a school zone. Not knowing what to do I ended up receiving something in the mail from his office and decided to give him a call. He was very informative on what to do and helped me out so much and answered every question that I had! He was able to bring my charge down to zero points and non moving violation that does not transfer. What was also great is he went to court for me! I highly recommend!

Ellis is absolutely amazing. I was involved in an accident at the end of October. I called Ellis instantly and he eased my anxiety. He is honest and straight to the point. He did everything in his power to make sure I did not get jail time and ultimately I walked away with only a citation. Ellis, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve hit rock bottom. Thank you for everything.

Unfortunately I was issued a ticket in PA for a stop sign violation that would have been reported/would have impacted my insurance in my home state. Ellis was able to resolve it fully without the requirement that I appear in court, optimally communicating throughout the process. I made the right choice; highly recommend!

Ellis Klein is a fantastic and compassionate attorney. His staff is extremely responsive. I also greatly appreciated the depth of his experience as both a private attorney and in the District Attorney’s Office to help me best navigate through my situation and achieve the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend Ellis to anyone.

Long story short. I received a speeding ticket worth $250.00 and three points. Mr. Klein got it reduced to 5MPH over the limit, no points and a major refund on my $250.00. Wait, there's more! I didn't even have to show up in court. That was the icing on the cake. A pro all the way!

I NEVER write reviews but I’m beyond thankful to Ellis and what he did for me. Hopefully this can help someone else in a unfortunate situation make the right decision to hire Ellis. I’m from NJ and got an out of state speeding ticket in a work zone in PA that would have caused points to carry over to my NJ license and possibly a license suspension. I’m pregnant with a toddler, working from home full time without a caregiver due to Covid. Needless to say I was beyond stressed. I researched online and based on the excellent reviews, chose to hire Ellis. He took the time to speak to me directly and explain everything. I was so impressed with the level of care he gave to someone with just a speeding ticket when he obviously has bigger cases. He put my mind at ease and was able to go to court on my behalf so I didn’t have to miss work and find someone to watch my toddler. He was able to get my ticket down to a non-moving violation with a much lower and fee and NO points to carry over to my NJ license. Can't be more happier with his job ! I highly recommend!
