Business Case

Isreal took my case somewhat last minute with countless hours’ worth of work to do. I needed a lawyer to represent me in a complicated multimillion dollar business purchase. I spoke with numerous lawyers and finally came across Mr. Klein whom was clearly the right man for the job. He worked diligently with me to get the deal done, even into the late evening hours. I’m grateful I had an opportunity to work with him and look forward to working with him into the future.

Effective and Brilliant

Israel helped me effectively resolve a severance agreement with a Fortune 50 company. He increased my severance agreement amount by more than 50%, which left me feeling whole and complete again. He effectively helped guide my decision making with his logical, yet caring and empathetic character. I could count on Israel to quickly reply within hours, which was so helpful and critical to have in my particular process. In the end, I know I would be in a less desirable position if I didn’t hire Israel to help me. I’m also happy to say I am now in a good economical spot to move on from the company that let me go. With tremendous gratitude for Israel for his strategic wisdom.

Sharp, Thoughtful, Responsive and Kind

Israel was recommended to me by a colleague at the large international law firm where I work. I retained him to represent a low-income friend whose neighbor filed a frivolous and baseless claim in Small Claims (Kings County). Israel did a superb job. He explained things clearly, was very kind to the client (who is elderly and was frightened), and he was a forthright and fearless advocate in all appropriate ways. I work with excellent attorneys all year long, and now he is on that list.
