At Klenk Law, we believe that solid and community-driven leadership can yield a brighter and more just future. We have served many communities for years and seen active and educated citizens improve a community. We want to help a student with a similar passion for achieving their educational goals. Thus, the Klenk Law Community Leadership Scholarship was born.
With that in mind, our law firm offers a $1,000.00 scholarship to help a student who exemplifies strong community leadership. Their community is not limited to their hometown or where they live; it can be their town, school, club, or any other community they help improve and build up.

Flora Novick
Great firm. Great people. Happy to refer folks in need to estate planning to Peter and his team. They do great work.
Peter and his associates made things easy for us.
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.
I have worked with Peter Klenk & his associates for some time now and I have found them to be ultra-qualified, knowledgeable and diligent about their work. I highly recommend them.
Peter recently gave a presentation about Wills & Trusts at my employer, and it was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable information to the group. People were very engaged and asked several questions, all of which Peter thoroughly answered. Personally, my husband and I have selected Peter to help us with our estate planning, and he has been very helpful in providing us with all of the information we need to provide a secure future for our family. Thank you, Peter!
