I hate writing reviews; I mean, I REALLY HATE writing them. When you find a professional that stands out from the crowd, however, it's only appropriate to give praise as deserved. Steve has been extremely patient throughout my legal journey and continues to provide sound advise and creative solutions for a difficult situation. What's most impressive, however, is his ability to think quickly on his feet, using his wit, skills (the man is absurdly smart and could write a book based on his in-depth knowledge and experience), and appropriately-timed sarcasm to deliver the message in a compelling and easily-understandable way. If you're looking for someone who will sugar-coat things, Steve isn't your guy, though. We've had a lot of tough conversations and haven't always seen the case the same way. He's objective, taking the emotions out of the legal issues, yet still somehow seems to be more empathetic than most. Why do I mention this? If you want good representation, you can't work with someone who always tells you what you want to hear. Instead, you need someone in your camp who will help you through the emotions of the situation but more than that, keep you in the game; Steve is that person.
Steven Klein came highly recommended to me by numerous people when I found myself in a child custody matter with my ex husband. I contacted him right away as my court appearance was in the very near future and he was accomodating and eager to take on my case. Obviously anything involving court and family matters is a very stressful and emotional time. But using Steve and knowing that I was going to be represented by such a confidant and determined attorney eased my stress and worry. He and his firm responded to every email/call or text promptly. I was very happy with the results and I am now using him again for a separate matter. I would highly recommend him to anyone. When you find yourself in any legal situation and you want the best representation, he’s the guy for the job.
Steven Klein is an excellent attorney. I came to him for a consultation regarding a divorce. He came highly recommended and I soon saw why. Mr Klein was extremely professional and knowledgeable all while making you feel like family. Any questions or concerns that I had he answered with ease. During my divorce he was extremely thorough and informed me of everything each step of the way. He had a great rapport with all of his staff as well as the staff st the court. I would highly recommend him for anyone in search of an honest, reliable, and trustworthy attorney.
Being in the legal field and knowing many attorneys, I chose to look at AVVO to search for another attorney who did not know me. Thank God I found him. He represented me for an early emancipation of my son followed by a Contempt Motion against me by my ex. I will never forget what he said to me on my 1st consultation, I will do everything I can for you within the law. For a year and a half, we were up against an attorney who was relentless and played dirty. Steve held his ground and even when I got crazy, said to me, let me do my job. And I did. He always remained calm and was compassionate knowing my specific situation. Glad I let him do his thing, as it resulted in my favor. Better than I expected. He knows the law and didn't need to be a bully or paper pushing attorney to win his case. Sometimes it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for. I would definitely recommend him. His staff was always very nice and professional as well. I will definitely refer you and your office. Thank you again.
I am so glad I found this lawyer. Steve is fierce, he is not afraid to stand up for his client. He is reassuring, he listens to everything you say and works from his heart. I was a nervous wreck before court as soon as I saw him, I felt much better. He always has time to get back to you with any questions and speaks thoroughly with with you so you understand what is going on. His office staff is wonderful and caring as well. I will never, ever go to another lawyer. I also like that he prefers to email his client, not only is it documented but you can look back on what he says to remind yourself. He took a nightmare and turned it into something excellent.
Mr. Klein has been an incredible help during a very stressful, constant battle with my ex husband in regards to seeking sole custody and child support . He and his team were always there to answer the phone, provide advice, and therefore, drastically lowering my stress level and anxiety. I’m quite happy with Steven H Klein & Associates. I have to extend my sincere appreciation to him and his staff in helping me with my endeavor. This goes without saying, in the future; Steven H Klein & Associates will be my first choice in any legal issues.
If you need the job done correctly and efficiently, contact Mr. Klein. I hired Mr.klein for a custody problem i had with my ex wife, she took my kids out of state and i had no clue if i was ever going to see them thanks to Mr. Klein he found them and got them back after a rough battle. I recommend his office and thankful for hiring someone as knowledgeable and consistent as him.
I have to say my wife and I are blessed to have had Steven Klein as our lawyer. Him and his team were amazing every step of the way. This was a long process over the past couple of months but well worth the wait. They were always in close contact with us and answered us very quickly when emailing back and forth. When we first sat down with Mr. Klein, we were overwhelmed and our nerves were all over the place. Steve was able to calm us down and explain to us the possible outcomes and the steps he would be taking. He is very professional, straight to the point, and knows exactly what he is doing. He was on time and well prepared for every court date. I have to say Thank you for being there for us and helping us through this difficult time. We can now breathe easy and be a family again. My wife and I would recommend Steve Klein to anyone in need of not just a “good” family law lawyer, but a GREAT family law lawyer!
I found Mr. Klein when I was faced with a serious issue in family court. My nerves were shot from this event. During my first sit down with Mr. Klein he was able to calm me down and explain to me what could happen and the action he will be taking. Watching Mr. Klein take control of the courtroom during my first appearance gave me a comfort I have never had before in a lawyer. At trial, the outcome was by far better than I ever hoped for! I wish I had Mr. Klein years ago for my custody battle. I'm pretty sure my outcome would of been drastically different. I was so pleased with his service, I rehired him immediately and began the process for a custody modification. I truly do now feel like I have a fighting chance.
I am an advocate and also a host of a show called Punished 4 Protecting. I founded National coalition family court & cps reform as well as Punished 4 being a parent I work with many lawyers across the Nation and have retained many in the Hudson valley- I can honestly say Steven Klein is THE BEST lawyer I have ever met. If you want real values & morals, integrity and an attorney who not only knows what he is doing-respects his clients as well as his own position this is the lawyer & firm for you. We call him the walk in a win guy!!! I can't say enough great things about him.
