Our experience with Klenk Law has been exceptional. We’ve had help with estate planning and pre-nuptial agreements. They really take the time to explain everything and let us know our options. All of the staff are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They are very prompt with responding to calls and messages. We will continue to use them and recommend to friends and family.
Very friendly and easy to work with - definitely a better experience than I've had with other lawyers! Peter is very detailed and thorough. I've worked on previous versions of my will with other lawyers, and he pointed out things they'd never mentioned. Fast turnaround and very responsive to emails and phone calls.
Wonderful Experience working with the team
I worked with Daniella to settle my father’s estate. She was kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend working with Daniella.
Peter explains things in a practical way to help guide you through a rather daunting process. We have been using Klenk Law for years. Highly recommend.
