Receiving Stolen Property charge
I was looking for a lawyer and I was lost in the swamp of legal representation. I had hired an attorney in the past for a shady contractor and that experience left me needless to say very unhappy. I explained my situation over the phone to Mr. Klein and he explained his plan of action and the different outcomes that were available for my situation. I hope and pray that I never need an attorney again, but if I ever need one again Mr. Klein is the one. Honest, friendly, respectful, if you need an attorney please look no further you will not be sorry that you hired him, I promise!!

Possession of a Controlled Substance
Very Thankful!!

I am extremely satisfied that I chose Mr. Klein to represent me. I was charged with possession and paraphernalia, and was really worried about not being able to get student loans for college because of this. Mr. Klein got my charges dropped down to a non-criminal disorderly conduct. I just paid a fine and this was the best case scenario that he told me could happen, so I am very pleased. Would definitely recommend.


In the Best Interest of His Clients
Ellis Klein was the instrument in keeping my son out of jail. I had utilized Mr. Klein previously with excellent results, and once again he did it. I think Mr. Klein knows the questions to ask, the answers to give, and the direction to take. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Ellis Klein to defend anyone who is in need of a GOOD lawyer. Lawyers to me were never in a field of actually caring, I do believe we were lucky enough to find one that did. thank you for your guidance.


Best representation
It was very reassuring that we found Ellis Klein. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want working for you. I have not had good experiences with previous lawyers...he was a breath of fresh air. His confidence, knowledge, candor and most of all his compassion - made us feel we were not alone - that we were in this together. I appreciated his quick follow through with any/all concerns, as he took the time to address, and assure that we were prepared for the day in court. Ellis Klein is the attorney you want to represent you hands down.


After doing research and speaking with a number of Attorney’s on my case, I chose Ellis!
After careful consideration I selected Ellis Klein as my attorney for a criminal matter. During our initial consultation he made me feel at ease. He was professional, polite, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answered my questions and advised me on all possible outcomes.

Ellis is not the type of attorney that tells you what you want to hear. He tells you the truth as he knows it. Communication was also the key for me. Every time that I contacted Ellis I received a timely response Every time.

Ellis assisted me at my preliminary hearing in having a positive resolution in having it withdrawn. It was in my favor and in a criminal matter. Wow! Where does that happen? I am so grateful to all involved in this matter and I pray to not find myself in this type of situation again.

I highly recommend this attorney, Ellis Klein, and I’m sure that you will have the same wonderful experience or even better.

Sure some things he shares may be a little unpleasant to hear, but at least you’re not caught by surprise if it should come up at a later time. All you’re able to say is, I was informed... He did inform me, no surprises. I’d rather be a well informed client than having deer lights on. I’m glad that I selected Ellis! I’d give him 10 stars if I could.


Miracle worker!!!!
Mr. Klein was amazing! I had misdemeanor cases in 2 separate counties. He got one case dropped to a summary offense and even though I had a little blemish from another state years ago he was able to get me ARD on the second case. These results just don’t happen! His fees were reasonable and he always remained in contact with me throughout all of the court dates. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get the best possible outcome on their case. Additionally, he doesn’t make you unrealistic promises or give you ill advise. Trust me... you can’t go wrong hiring him! Good luck!


Outstanding experience
After doing an online search for lawyers, I made several calls and decided to make an appointment to meet with Ellis Klein. His office was responsive and gave us a priority appointment as we expressed it was a time sensitive matter. Our son had been involved in a serious criminal matter so before our meeting, I familiarized myself with his practice by reading through his website. I learned that he had extensive experience in criminal defense and I was encouraged by his numerous positive reviews. Upon our first meeting, we were so impressed with his knowledge, demeanor and capability to handle the case that we decided to hire Ellis that day. We were offered an affordable rate and a flexible payment plan, which was much appreciated as well.

From day one, Ellis made himself available and advised us in all matters relating to my son’s case. Through his guidance, he connected us with a forensic psychiatrist that was able to help our son immensely with other factors related to the case. Any time we had questions or concerns we were so grateful to always get a timely response from Ellis and we always felt that he genuinely cared.

After months of work on the case we were elated when Ellis was able to negotiate dropping several of the most serious charges. Through his expert counsel on the final day of sentencing, Ellis helped our son avoid a possible lengthy incarceration and obtained probation for him.

All in all, our family feels truly blessed that we found such a capable and caring lawyer. Ellis is a truly wonderful attorney and we will never forget what a wonderful result that he achieved for our son.


Great Attorney
I hired Ellis Klein for my daughter for a driving violation and also a drug possession. Mr. Klein was able to have the driving violation dropped and the drug charges reduced. More importantly, he was able to spare her the requirement for jail time. This is an excellent outcome. Ellis was easy to reach during the entire process. He explained everything so we knew exactly what to expect. He cares about his clients and knows his way around the courthouse. I highly recommend him.


My case was resolved with the best possible outcome.
Like many young adults, I made a bad decision that resulted in very serious consequences. I was afraid and nervous. Ellis was very straight-forward when he explained things to me, telling what the best outcome could be as well as the worst. Through his knowledge, professionalism, and legal reputation, my case was resolved with the best possible outcome. I advise my friends not to make the same mistake that I did, but if they do I will highly recommend Ellis. I feel like I have been given a second chance.


Ellis B. Klein, the miracle worker.
My former attorney Mr. Ellis B. Klein, took my case on head first with me and my parents doing everything we both could think of to obtain the best possible outcome. In doing so Mr. Klein got a 2-4 years mandatory state prison sentence dropped. Mr. Klein read my character reference letters and even typed up one of his own to help sway the judge to a lesser sentence. On top of that Mr. Klein skillfully came up with a series of questions to ask during the case to pinpoint specific details of our case that he wanted my parents and I to explain in our own words in front of the judge. Our case was presented, the DA wanted 6 months county for a minimum sentence and the judge let me off with 3 years probation. Thank you once again Ellis. Hope you read this.


Very trustworthy and honest lawyer.
Recently Mr. Klein helped me out with a possession charge in which the outcome was the best possible situation for me. I was referred to him by someone I knew to be one of the best lawyers around but I didn't have alot of money to pay up front. Ellis worked with me as far as a payment plan, knew the judge and officer and I couldn't ask for anything more out of a lawyer. I'm very happy with his performance and would recommend him to anyone.


Without Ellis I would I would be in jail for a long time.
Ellis was an excellent Lawyer. He knows his job very well. Without Ellis I would I would be in jail for a long time. He is very straight forward, is honest and has his clients best interest at heart. He fights till the end to get the best for his clients. If ever needed a lawyer again I will use no one else but Ellis.


Trust in Ellis B. Klein...anywhere, anytime!
I was in a hard spot to handle when I wrote on a prescription. A tiny detail like changing one number on a prescription paper was a huge mistake which landed me a 4-count felony charge. With honest words and a great background he was definitely my top pick. He got me out of trouble and made the charges disappear by having great relationships with other judges and DA's. Mr. Klein knows what he's doing well beyond any other lawyer, my parents and I were overall--impressed. I would recommend Ellis B. Klein any time to a friend or family member, so If you are looking for a lawyer for any reason, please, do not hesitate to seek out Mr. Klein, for his skills in law are a force to be reckoned with.

Ellis Klein is a terrific attorney who represented my son in a DUI case. Ellis was understanding and sympathetic yet very forthright regarding the seriousness of the issue. He was extremely knowledgeable of the process and kept us informed at every step. He had a very professional presence, was confident (but not arrogant) and kept us calm throughout a very traumatic situation. He was a critical factor in my son receiving the best possible outcome from this DUI event. John Doe

Ellis literally gave me a new lease on life. I was facing a DUI, which would have affected my livelihood, my freedom and would have left me with a criminal record. Mr. Klein was able to have all the evidence suppressed by challenging the officer's cause for pulling me over. He was very thorough, leaving no stone unturned. His demeanor in court was confident and knowledgeable. He saved my reputation and my family from facing serious economic hardship. Thank You Anonymous
