Steve Klein helped me through a rough patch in my life he handled my divorce with care and professionalism. There are no words to describe how patient he was with me, he was just the right attorney that I needed in my situation. The staff was very helpful as well and a pleasure to work with. I recommend Steve Klein if you need help with a legal matter he is poised and intelligent.

Every person I dealt with in this office was fantastic. My situation was a little out of the ordinary since I was out of the country while I needed their services. Steven and his team helped me process everything and kept me informed while I was away. I felt safe and secure having them handle my case. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. I am thankful for their professionalism and dedication to their clients.

I was happy with the representation I got from this office. He responds very quickly to emails and answers any questions you have. Over a year later and he is still answering my questions and even fixed an issue I had with my current court order.

Steve Klein was recommended to me by a friend who was immensely impressed by his professionalism, care, and hard work. During my interaction with Mr Klein, over a course of about two years, he provided legal advice and guidance at the highest quality level during a very difficult time of my life. I found him to be exceptionally experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. While working with Steve, I felt that I was brought from the darkness about the legal aspect of the problem, which by itself is intimidating, to a situation that I will have the law on my side. This was a situation that most people, including myself, consider to be the luxury of the rich and famous who can be best represented in their legal cases. Steve gave me the feeling that I was represented by the best legal advice that anyone could have and that my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands. Throughout my case, he explained the situation and strategy that he chose to represent me and he steered it to an amicable outcome. me wrong. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation as he is experienced, fair, honest and will keep your best interest and special needs no matter how complicated your case is at the forefront. Since his representation of my case six years ago, I have repeatedly gone to him for legal advice and every time I have come back informed, enlightened and elevated. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve to anyone who needs legal representation in his areas of expertise.

I have used a few attorneys in my life for many different reasons. Steve Klein happens to be one of the better ones . He can be aggressive when he needs to be and he can be subtle when he needs to be. Over the years i've used Mr Kleins services for many different cases . Tenant landlord cases .Whistle blower wrongful termination cases, misplaced annuity cases against large insurance companies, hurricane damage to properties when the insurance company refuses to pay what they owe. In all these different cases Mr Klein knew what laws applied : and i prevailed in each and every one.He is thoughtful in his approach and doesn't fly off the handle easily. He knows how to negotiate a good deal and just how much to push to get the best out come for his client. His response time was very reasonable in getting back to me and he was patient with me when i became irritated at the other sides attorneys for dragging their feet . Over all i would recommend he and his law firm for any kind of legal work you might need

Steven Klein is a Miracle Worker!
I met Steven 6 years ago when I needed a divorce lawyer. He helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I was impressed with his empathy, intelligence and his prompt responses to my emails and phone calls.
His staff is outstanding.
In October of 2019, I found myself in need of legal services again and I returned to the BEST LAWYER EVER! Again, my experience can be described as triumphant!
Steven addressed my frustrations and concerns patiently and took all of my fears away.
My anxiety was lessened by his very prompt responses. I have never seen anyone respond so quickly in the business world.
Steven successfully thought of a way to waive the need for a drawn out court hearing thereby saving me a substantial amount of money and heartache.
Steven Klein, you have my utmost respect and admiration.
You are a man of character and it is evident that the needs of your client are top priority.
I thank you, Sir, for another very positive experience.
In conclusion, I am hoping that I am never in need of legal assistance again but if I am, you can rest assure that I will be reaching out to
Steven Klein and Associates.

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.

When I was searching for a lawyer to handle my divorce I'd ask others who had gone through the process already who they'd recommend. The one name that kept coming up was Steve Klein. I'm so glad I listened. His office was professional, and efficient. Steve was quick in responding to my emails and took the time to make sure I understood every aspect of my case and prepared me as to what to expect before each of my court dates. My divorce was complicated to say the least. Emotions ran high. He guided me through the process, he explained my options, weakness and strengths. He made the entire process go smoothly and I really appreciate him representing me.

I’m not one to write positive reviews for people doing their job but Steven H. Klein & Associates far surpassed my expectations. After a horrific experience with a local attorney, my family stumbled upon Steven through these very reviews. He immediately responded to our inquiry ON Thanksgiving Day! I travel a solid hour to the office but it is worth every mile I travel and penny I pay. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and confident in his work but most admirable is his professional and calm demeanor during stressful times. He is undoubtedly well respected by judges and courts alike. I took a leap of faith with Steve and he has not failed me. My family would not be where we are now if it were not for this firm. We are incredibly thankful for Steve (and these reviews that led us to him!)

Hands down one of the best lawyers around, I highly reccomend!! Steven always replied to our phone calls and emails. He made the whole process of family court much easier! And honestly, it was a lot less stressful knowing we had a knowledgeable, outstanding lawyer on our side.
Professional, reliable and effective, what more could could we ask for? Thankfully for us it is over and with good results, but if ever again we need a lawyer he will be the first person we call.

A true 5 star experience. A lawyer who cares about his clients is hard to come by. He fought tirelessly in court, always knew what to say and what to do and in the end I was awarded primary custody of my 4 boys. His fees are more than reasonable!!!! The level of attention l recieved was top notch!!! Whenever I was unsure of anything throughout the court process Steve would take the time to explain it to me so I would have full understanding. Whenever I had questions he would give me full detailed answers and in general would put my worries at ease. You are not just a number with this firm!!! I cant thank Steve enough for all he has done and know without a doubt who I will turn to if I ever need a lawyer again.

My husband & I used Steve for the sale of our condo. His attention to detail made the process smooth and painless. His office took care of everything and kept in communication with us during the time between contract and closing. It was the easiest real estate transaction we have ever closed on. I would highly recommend Steve and his office for any real estate or legal need.

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.

Steve Klein is a highly qualified attorney with years of experience. From the moment you meet him his wisdom and knowledge are evident. However, Steve does not only get down to business immediately but he makes you feel at ease while doing so. He is a persistent and confident lawyer, that will always have your best interest in mind. He has a quick response time and is easy to get ahold of. No matter how many cases that Mr. Klein takes on you will always feel that your case is priority. I would highly recommend his law firm for all of your needs. A big thank you to Steve and his team for all that they have done for me!

THESE 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE FAKE.!!! 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.I had to go from Wappingers Falls to White Plains to court and then I'm waiting for him and he never showed up, then I call his office and they say that I didn't need to show up. They never bothered to call me before I went to court!! I through away $8000. I'm retired now, but I used to be a vice-president of interiors for a major international construction company. I have dealt with many lawyers. If he was the last attorney on this planet, I would still never use him. I would be better represented by myself!!! DO NOT USE HIM !!!!!!!!

Mr. Klein is my first call when I have a legal question. He has been looking out for me for over twenty years. Whether it's incorporation, contracts or other issues I go to him first. He has always made time to help me resolve legal matters that I encounter, and as such I give him my highest recommendation. Dr. Damien L. Duchamp

RIP OFF!!! Met with Steven once - if you think you will see him again after the initial consultation and he takes your retainer check forget it! Not only will you never see him again but you will never speak to him again either. I was due a retainer refund check which they could have written that same week. When a week had gone by and I hadn't heard anything from them I called to follow up. Trisha stated NYS Law says they have 30 days to refund the money and the check would be ready on September 20th. The full 30 days later. When asked why she stated "Because they could." They took 28 out of the 30 days to issue the refund. This was absurd. I buy 4 to 5 houses a year and would NEVER consider using this attorney. Also, don't send him an email either - he will charge you for it!!! IF YOU NEEDED THE MONEY THAT BAD I WOULD HAVE LENT IT TO YOU !!!

My wife filed for a divorce several years ago and the process was unbearable. Things were rapidly getting worse until I met Steve Klein from Klein and Associates. I didn’t know a blessed thing about the divorce process nor what to expect. Steve takes the time to break everything down to you step by step and is great at getting back to his clients in a timely fashion. I highly, highly recommend Steve Klein for anyone thinking about or is actually in a divorce. Keep up the good work Steve.

Steve Klein handled a custody issue for us. As you can imagine, this was a very heart-wrenching and confusing experience. Steve's expertise, professionalism and compassion assured us throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions or deal with any misgivings we had, and his courtroom presence and interaction with the judge was truly impressive. Steve exceeded all our expectations during this case which ended with a favorable decision. I highly recommend Steven H Klein and Associates for your legal needs.

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 again 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 highly recommend him.

I wholeheartedly recommend Steven Klein and Associates. Steve has handled my legal needs, including custody issues, fraudulent business practices and more for over a decade, and I have found him to be accessible, highly professional and always well prepared. Steve’s experience also includes teaching Law at Bard, Marist, SUNY New Paltz and Dutchess Community Colleges. His fees are reasonable, and while other attorneys charge for phone conversations, Steve’s firm, for reasons of precision and security, prefers email communication, but I’ve never been charged for an email. In a recent case Steve successfully defended me against an absurd lawsuit brought in Federal Court by a powerful national organization, but, in the end, the plaintiff’s threats and bullying tactics couldn’t hold up against Steve’s persistence and solid knowledge of the law. Aside from his legal skills, Steve demonstrated a wonderful ability to put a highly stressful situation in perspective and calm my fears throughout a long and frustrating process. In fact, it’s precisely that “human” factor that sets Steve’s work apart from other lawyers I’ve dealt with, and is still another reason why Steve’s law firm enjoys such a favorable reputation.

Professional / Intelligent / Committed: Divorce is never black and white, and rarely without emotion. Steve Klein navigated the course with guidance and a greatly appreciated knowledge of the legal intricacies of the process. You need someone experienced who will keep your best interest a priority. Highly recommend.

Steve's office kept my divorce as amicable as it could be. He was fair, honest, and helpful to us both. As stressful as the process was, we both left happy and without any fighting. I couldn't ask for more. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I recommend him to everyone I know.

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 had a wonderful experience working with Steve. When meeting with him, he was always very focused and was very thorough when going through details of my case and maximizing the benefits for me. I was always able to get in touch with him and he is very knowledgeable with the law. I was extremely nervous about going to court, but Steve was able to alleviate the stress and made the process fairly simple. He keeps his client’s best interest at heart when working a case and I would highly recommend him.

Steve has been my families lawyer for over 2 years. He has assisted my wife with a prior divorce and custody case. Steve has also assisted my family in other legal matters as well and we have always gotten positive results. I have found him to be very personal, someone you can talk to at any time . HE is well versed in his field and keeps current with all the changing laws. He has helped me many times when i felt lost and takes his time to explain things to put you at ease. Hes actually human which is awesome and never talks above you but with you. I highly reccomend Steve, as you will be well taken care of with any issue that he is presented with.

Steven was amazing at my family court trial. He remained calm (while the other lawyer was frazzled) and focused on our best interests, ultimately running circles around the other attorney, and saving us thousands of dollars! His associate Cindy was also very good and did not hesitate to speak up and ensure we were properly represented. 5 stars to both of them... Thanks again Steven!

Before I met Steven Klein I was full of anxiety and worrying what would happen through my custody battle. Steven reassured me that he was going to do everything in his power to help me fight. Needless to say, I am very happy with the outcome! He’s a very funny and dedicated person and makes your problems his. He is behind you 100% of the way. If I ever need his help again I will surely give Steven Klein and Associates a call! Very satisfied with their welcoming staff as well!

Best thing we ever did was to retain Mr Klein as our attorney for our family! He was nothing but professional, kind and understanding of our situation. He listened to our concerns and was realistic about our goals. Never once did we feel as though he was not advocating for our family. We were patient with the process, because he was honest with us about the length of time it would take to start making headway. We were always kept in the loop and we always felt that he was working hard for us. We are so grateful to Mr. Klein and his staff for being efficient, supportive and amazing all around!!!! Mr Steven Klein is the best investment anyone can make in order to having peace of mind when you feel you are stressed out with legalities and you have no idea how to navigate the legal system yourself!! Steven has been the best first experience we have had and we recommend him to EVERYONE who needs an advocate in the legal system!!!

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.

Family court is never a place you expect to find yourself. I have been trying to navigate the court system for years. I researched possible attorneys and met with Steve. He took the time to explain my options and explain possible actions he can take on my behalf. He has a professional straight forward manner that puts you at ease. His knowledge of family law and the court system impressed me. Having Steve represent me makes me feel like I finally have someone on my side.

I want to take few minutes to recognize Steven H. Klein and his associates who helped me through a rough year in a legal battle. My anxiety was at an all-time high when I first meet Steve, however after consulting with him, I realized I was in great hands. I could tell he understood my situation well and immediately gave me advice on how we would solve it together. He was very professional but also very personable. I was able to contact him directly and he replied promptly. He took the time to explain my options and what our achievable goal was going to be. The best part was he did just that, and delivered the best outcome a dad could ever ask for! He said be patient, we need to get a few “first downs” before we show our full potential; boy did his expertise and strategy come through! Thanks Steve, you did a really honorable and thorough job!

I have worked with Steve Klein for several years now. As a businessman, I have had to deal with lawyers for many different reasons, but once I found Steve I felt immediately comfortable. Too often these days, details are missed and so-called professionals take the easy road. It is refreshing to have found a firm that pays careful attention to detail and takes pride in their work Steve has surrounded himself with a world-class, attentive staff. My calls are always answered on promptly and my emails are always responded to the day I send them. I love the fact that, for each new case, Steve provides a free consultation and never tries to push me to take legal action. In fact, in several instances, Steve has found alternative solutions which have helped me to avoid the pain and expense of litigation. I have referred others to Steve's firm as well, and have been pleased each time with the very positive feedback I get from the friends I have referred. I highly recommend Steve and his firm to anyone seeking true professionalism and old-fashioned hard work and service.

I have been associated with Mr. Klein and his firm for many years. I have always found Steve and his associates to be of the highest caliber in both professionalism and level of expertise. In addition to my personal and professional dealings with Mr. Klein and his firm, I know several people who are clients of his. All of those individuals had successful outcomes in their cases and have had nothing but praise for the service they experienced. I have personally referred clients to Steve H Klein and Associates on more than one occasion. I have never heard a negative comment from those individuals who ultimately secured Mr. Klein's services and hired him as their attorney. Important to me deciding to associate with Steve, as well as my recommendation of Steve as a family practice attorney, is Steve's commitment to the local community. He belongs to civic organizations that help provide services, scholarships, assistance, sustenance and care for many local children and older adults. Whether you are in Ulster, Dutchess, or Orange counties, you will not find a more reputable, knowledgeable, or compassionate advocate than. Steven H Klein.

Steve has represented me several times. I have always found him to offer sound and reasonable advice. He is very professional and I would absolutely use him again. Highly recommended.

Steve represented me twice over the last few years. Both times, he not only succeeded in obtaining a favorable ruling - he was incredibly reassuring to me during highly stressful periods. Steve is highly knowledgeable and detail-oriented, paying immense detail to the specifics of my cases. In addition , he’s patient and kind, with a great sense of humor! 10/10 would recommend.

Highly Recommended!!!
I have had the privileged of having Steven Klein as my attorney in the child custody case I was involved in.
I will never use another attorney again. Steven is very trustworthy, and honest! Truly one of a kind. He made sure all my needs were met, and made sure all my questions were answers in the most professional way.
I also would like to comment on his staff. They are fabulous, and I’m so grateful to have them to answer all my questions.

Mr. Klein was exceptional. I was served with papers out of nowhere for a support hearing by my ex. He was diligent and on point in every possible aspect. I could not reccomend a better attorney and will definitely use his services again in the future.

Steve K. is one of the most reputable lawyers you will meet. He has several years of experience as a highly qualified attorney, is extremely honest about the best way to approach your case. He is direct with his advice and based on his experience will definitely get down to business immediately. You will be in good hands. I used him for my divorce case and he was highly responsive to my emails, phone calls, questions and concerns and any issues I had he was on top of it. He listens and has a great sense of humor as well. He will work tirelessly for you and cares about his clients. I would HIGHLY recommend him without hesitation!

If you are going through a divorce and care about yourself and your kids, DO NOT use Steven H. Klein. Unfortunately, it was too late for me and my children and I will have to spend more time and money fixing all the damage that he and his law firm did. After being in an abusive relationship, I met with Steve and he put on a great show about him being able to handle the situation at hand. After all, he had experience with these cases. After receiving payment after payment over the years, there was never any actions that matched that initial conversation. Emails went unanswered, concerns were not taken seriously, and he actually made comments to me that it was my fault that the proceedings were taking so long. He allowed the courts and my ex to continually abuse me and my children through the system and provided no guidance in the case. I begged to go to a trial, yet there was no follow through. It came down to the judge saying settle on one court appearance to settle or the trial will be that exact day, with no prep. How did he even allow this to happen?? While we were the plaintiff, he let the defendant's lawyer take the lead on everything and simply sat back doing nothing, even after I kept voicing that there would be issues with this. There were many billing errors that never got corrected, and the kicker piece was the the final documents were mailed to my ex-husband. This is not a professional law firm that will have you or your children as their best interest.

Mr. Klein’s firm was recommended to me by a friend.
I looked up Steven H Klein and Associates through the internet read the reviews, sent an email at 7am and Mr. Klein called me before 8am. He made an appointment for that day.
Mr. Klein and I spoke, he is very down to earth, straight to the point . I was all over the place explaining, talking and trying to keep control of myself.
Steve recognized the stress kept me focused ,explained what we needed to do step by step. He explained if I need more time to think things over or wanted to interview other lawyers before taking the next step , I was free to do so. His confidence and calmness impressed me. I hired his firm as there was no need for me to look any further.
My next meeting was with Tricia Ramos to go over my expenses... I must admit it was challenging going through the sea of bills to bring . The beginning of the meeting I was feeling confused and shaking. Tricia calmly spoke with me and one by one we went through all the statements . By the end of the meeting I felt more confident and relaxed. We had several more meetings throughout , each time I felt comfortable working with her.
Throughout the divorce I met one of Mr. Klein’s associates Cindy Sanchez. I liked her from the first day .In a meeting with Tricia I mentioned that I felt very comfortable with Cindy as well as Mr. Klein .
Working with Cindy Sanchez was awesome. She request that I come in to talk with her as she detected frustration through an email I sent.
By the end of the conversation she looked at me and said something I’ll never forget. I needed that wake up call and boost of confidence. Ms. Sanchez is an excellent assist to this firm. She’s kind , straight to the point and kept me focused to the task at hand.
The last court appearance Cindy and Went to , it was all over , everything was was settled. I was very pleased with the outcome and all of the hard work she did .
Mr. Klein’s firm has an outstanding office staff , Karen and Carolyn both of which showed professionalism in person and over the phone. They are both kind, understanding and listened to my nervous chatter with caring ears.The front line of any outstanding business is the first point of contact. Both Katen and Carolyn make the office shine of professionalism!
My review may sound long but believe me it’s not easy going through a late in life divorce. You need Mr. Klein’s firm on your side .
I can never thank Mr. Klein’s firm enough for all there assistance!

Mr. Klein and his staff were above and beyond what I expected. Friendly, welcoming, very thorough as well as patient when answering all of my many questions as well as informing me of what I could expect from my court cases and the possible outcomes. I felt that meticulous attention was paid to my cases, nothing was missed or left to chance. If there is ever a need for me to require representation in the future, there would be no question as to who I would want on my side. This being my second time around in the family court system, I have realized there is a difference between a lawyer that wants to "settle" for the best he "thinks" you can get, and a lawyer that fights for the things you need and deserve. I wish I had done it right the first time and had hired Mr. Klein then.

Steven Klein is a very dedicated, determined and experienced attorney. He takes his work very seriously and he knows what he is doing. I was very un-happy with my old attorney, and I had to switch. Once I spoke to Steven Klein, he explained to me in details what my rights are and how we can handle the situation.
From custody settlement to the trial for financial settlement, Steve always does his homework and he and his team are always available to answer any questions that you might have. When it’s a legal matter, one cannot waste time or money and that’s why Steven Klein is the best choice.
He does not waste time on talks that are not relevant to the case, he always gives you breaks on fees wherever he can. Steven Klein background in criminal justice also helps a lot when it comes to financial settlement hearings and trials. I am really thankful to Mr. Steven Klein, as he always has an answer when it comes to one’s children or financial well-being in a divorce.

Blown away! Steve Klein has to be hands down the best lawyer in the Hudson Valley! Not only was he kind and courteous to my situation, but he handled everything with ease. He took a complicated custody and divorce battle and made the process an absolute breeze. If you're looking for someone smart, professional and committed to represent you, Steve Klein is your man!

I can write all day long and it still won’t be enough to praise how dedicated Mr. Klein is to his clients. He did such an outstanding job representing me through one of the darkest and scariest times of my life; the custody battle for my son. I was completely devastated, emotional, lost, and scared out of my mind. From the first meeting I found him to be supportive, warm and understanding. Steve’s analytical ability and years of experience enable him to provide thoughtful, thorough and, most importantly, practical legal advice regarding custody. He listens carefully to all my questions and comments and responds quickly and clearly in a way I can understand. I have worked with Steve for almost 2 years and have never been disappointed in any aspect of his work. I would highly recommend Mr. Klein and his team to anyone. Steve went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations and I will forever be grateful!

Steve Klein was exactly who I needed to meet at a very troublesome point in my life. Going through a divorce can be so complicated, especially when there are kids and a very bitter ex involved.
During my consultation with Steve, he explained to me what the next few steps were going to be. He answered all my questions and calmed my fears through the whole process.
I felt very confident that I had found the right lawyer who was going to fight for my case and get me what I needed.
I'm happy to say that Steve won my case and I now have custody of my amazing kids.
I can't thank Steve Klein and his amazing staff enough for all their hard efforts from the beginning to the winning end!

I had a very difficult divorce case. Thanks to Steve, I feel that I got the best possible outcome with all of the issues that were involved. He was a great lawyer, and well informed. Also made sure that I knew what was happening and that I knew what to expect. I hope I never have to go through more courts again, but if I do, I know Steve will be representing me.

I highly recommend Steven Klein as an attorney. I have been meeting with Steven for about a year now. He has been nothing but helpful and patient with me. My case is very complicated and he is willing g to work with me in any way I need him. I actually thank God for him being in my life and by my side. I have had several attorneys in the past 11 years (either due to moving or being unsatisfied) and no one has come close to his expertise or compassion. He will tell you the truth, even when the truth is not what you want to hear. Steven Klein is worth his weight in gold (I'm just glad he doesn't charge that much). He is not only my attorney, but I consider him a dear friend. Thank you Steven Klein for all you do....you are very much appreciated.

Steve Klein through the course of my divorce process proved to be a superior attorney. His knowledge of the relevant laws, his memory of the pertinent facts, his dedication and thorough preparation are what made the difference in the outcome of my ordeal. I don't believe that a more skilled and adept attorney could be found in New York.

Steven Klein is an extremely competent, diligent and ethical family attorney who is representing me in 2 court cases during a very difficult time in my life. I am facing a potential custody battle with my ex husband and a case involving domestic violence with my ex boyfriend. (I swear nothing is wrong with me! LOL) While my available time to sit and write "reviews" online is short, I wanted to take the time to give back to Steve the kind of attention that he has been devoting to my cases. First, let me say that he is amazingly responsive. During a time where I have had numerous questions involving both of these cases at all hours of the day, Steve was there to answer them and his responses proved to ease my mind time and time again. No matter what the hour is, Steve responds in a way that gives a sense of certainly that someone stable and steady is working on your side and he has been successful in calming my nerves on more than one occasion. Second, his knowledge of family law is extensive and so far, he has impressed me with his level of diligence and care in the way he presents himself in both written documents and in the courtroom. Lastly, Steven Klein's office staff and legal associates are extremely friendly and always willing to help. When Steven wasn't available, another lawyer was available to meet my needs and assist with matters that had to be accomplished. Steven does not "leave you hanging"…. He recognizes that clients have a great deal of stresses and tries to ease those burdens by being an exceptional problem solver. To sum up, I am very happy that I have chosen to retain Steven Klein as my family court attorney in 2 cases and I feel like I am in good hands for the duration with his steady, stable and calming presence, knowledge of the law and exceptional work ethic!

My husband served me with divorce papers unexpectantly earlier this year. I was a stay at home mom, who hadn't worked in 8 years to take care of my family and raise my kids. Clearly this news turned my life upside down.
I called several lawyers for consultation appointments and Klein & Associates was my first meeting.
Upon meeting Steven I instantly felt a reassurance that his vast knowledge in divorce and family law was exactly what I was looking for and hired him immediately.
Throught out the difficult and painful process of paperwork, court hearings, and decision making, Steve and his staff worked above and beyond to make sure my case was handled with the utmost importance which led to a favorable ruling on my behalf.
I will never forget one of the last things my ex-husband said was, "You better find yourself a good lawyer". Well, I didn't just find a good one....I found the best.

My experience of Steven H. Klein is that he is extremely professional, thorough, honest and effective. He listened carefully to questions and concerns, of which I have many, and he responded quickly and knowledgeably. After my initial consultation with Steve, I experienced an overwhelming sense of relief. I left his office knowing that I would be represented by someone with years of experience and practical wisdom but more importantly, by a person with perceptible empathy and compassion. I do not believe it gets any emotionally tasking than when proceedings are to determine the safety, welfare and future of beloved children however, I have confidence in relying on Steve Klein regarding these issues. I believe he represented me in the best possible way and have faith he will continue to do so in the future. Excellent choice.

My experience working with Steve Klein has been very positive. During a very difficult and stressful time he explained my situation, how the law works, and my options during the process. It definitely made the situation clearer and less stressful. Steve is very intelligent and has a never-ending store of energy. He has a quick response time and works through e-mails so it is all documented. This process makes it easier to keep track of what is going on. I highly recommend him and his office to solve your legal issues.

As an active duty military officer, I appreciate his detailed knowledge of the law and candid advice that is sharply focused on obtaining the best results for his client. The legal outcome from my child custody proceeding far exceeded my expectation and has given me a much needed peace of mind. If I ever have to go back to family court, I will retain his services without question!
