At Klenk Law, we believe that strong and community-driven leadership can yield a brighter and more just future. We have served our many communities for years and have seen that a community is improved by active, educated citizens. We want to help a student with a similar passion to achieve his or her educational goals. Thus was born the Klenk Law Community Leadership Scholarship.
With that in mind, our law firm is offering a $1000 scholarship to help a student who exemplifies strong community leadership. Their community is not limited to just their hometown or where they live; it can be their town, their school, a club, or any other community they help to improve and build up.

Everything about my experience was a 10+! Peter and his staff made what I thought would be a difficult process easy and understandable. Every detail was handled correctly. No other firm could possibly do better than Klenk Law!
Tremendous firm with bright, kind and tenacious people. Great representation for our family.
Peter and his associates were a pleasure to work with. He explained the process clearly and provided assistance nearly instantaneously. Highly recommended for trusts-and-estates-related needs!
Peter is excellent. I had a very complicated situation with my parents' estate planning and potential Medicaid needs. Peter was very knowledgeable in estate planning matters, able to define the best solution for the situation. Additionally, he was congenial and able to communicate effectively to my senior citizen parents the benefits of estate planning. He earned my trust, and more importantly, my parents' trust in a 45 mins consultation period. Highly recommend Peter. He is very easy to work with.
Great firm. Great people. Happy to refer folks in need to estate planning to Peter and his team. They do great work.
Let us put our expertise to work for you.
