We hired Loni for a very complicated and stressful case. Her experience was extremely valuable in so many ways. In particular, it was a VERY emotional case for us and Loni helped us keep the proper focus when our emotions took us off course. She is extremely patient when listening to her clients. In our case, Loni appeared to be very respected by the Judge. She is skilled at negotiating, as well as litigation. Our daughter decided we were trying to steal her child and hired an attorney and fought the Guardianship. We had raised our grandson and he had lived with us since 5 weeks old, and is now 2 1/2. Our daughters alcohol addiction and the fathers criminal past and inability to support our grandson necessitated our request for Guardianship. We now have General Guardianship of our grandson, and are FOREVER grateful to Loni and her staff.

I hired Loni to file for emergency guardianship of our nephew. It was a complicated case and our family was a wreck. Loni was amazing - she is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met. Her work was exceptional. She is a very skilled litigator. The other party ended up assenting to the guardianship - due to the strength of the case that Loni put together. The negotiation was intense, but Loni kept us calm and focused. It is rare to find an attorney that is equally good at litigating and negotiating but Loni excels at both. I will always be grateful for her help during one of the hardest times in my life.

We were referred to Loni Klein and Sheryl Edgar by another respected family law attorney we consulted with. She believed our case required an attorney who specialized in areas of the law that protect children in dangerous situations. Our case resulted in our being able to adopt and forever protect the child.
It was the BEST POSSIBLE ruling and we are grateful to Loni and her team.

Loni was appointed to represent my son, I did not have representation of my own at the time I met her. I can honestly say, without a shadow of doubt in my mind, that this woman had what was the best for my son in the forefront of her mind at all times. It was obvious that Loni was very well respected by, not only by the Judge that chose her for my son, but by her peers in the passing hallways and in just observing her. I was able to retain representation of my own, and with the two of them working on the one common goal for my child, I knew we were in, more than, capable hands. My son, of course, had to have meetings with his lawyer and conversations, and at one point had to come in to interview with the judge (every mothers fear) and Loni made him feel very safe. He liked her a lot. She went out of her way to meet with him in the court house to go over what to expect, and to view the court room, so that he would not be caught off guard or more nervous than necessary when the time of his testimony came. Although I could not be in the room when he spoke his truth, I know he felt safe being honest because Loni was there with him.
I must also say, that in her cross examination of the parties I was fully impressed by her delivery and her way of getting the truth out, even when some people were being difficult or dishonest. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and to the very end of this rollercoaster. At times I was nervous and worried about the outcome, but she never wavered in her security in herself to get the necessary outcome for my son, which in turn gave me the confidence I was lacking in my times of need. Loni was truly a blessing sent from something greater, to wrap her arms around my case (my son), and to help us obtain our long awaited freedom. I am forever grateful to her for everything, and I cannot say enough thank yous'. I just hope she knows how much she meant to the both of us.

Loni Klein was my attorney for an incredibly difficult, complex case involving the best interests of my children. The case ultimately ended in a ten day trial. The case and trial was emotionally and mentally the most difficult thing I have ever endured, and I don't think I could have made it through without the assistance of Loni Klein and her team. We recently found out the judgement in the trial, and it was in my favor. I couldn't have asked for a more prepared, passionate and articulate lawyer. She was always clear about what was going to happen and the things she needed from me to get us to our final positive outcome. Her knowledge of the law and ability to fight for me went beyond my expectations. She is still my attorney on another matter before the court, and I feel confident that I have the best possible lawyer to represent me. Anyone who retains her as an attorney will be in great hands.

Family Law is difficult and emotional draining to say the least. However if you need to step into that quagmire this firm is tremendous.
I had the pleasure of working with their senior associate, Loni Klein, in an adoption case and she was:
1. empathetic
2. fair in billing
3. tremendously skilled in adoption law
4. focused on the needs of the birth mother and the best interests of the child
5. detailed and convincing in court
I would highly recommend this law firm and particularly Loni Klein in all areas of family law.

I came to Loni Jo Poyner Klein (and her team @ A C.F.C.) because Loni Klein was THE ONLY LAWYER that would/could "handle our unique and delicate situation"! A case that could NOT "afford any mistakes"! Loni Klein (and her team @ A C.F.C.) were/are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! They NEVER "missed a beat"! I have "worked with a lot of attorneys" in the past (because of a "job I previously had"), but "Loni Klein's team" was/is "OUTSTANDING" AND "REALLY KNEW THEIR STUFF"! ALL COURT DOCUMENTS WERE ALWAYS COMPLETED (and filed) VERY PROFESSIONALLY! I mean Candace is AMAZING! And, Annie Weir ALWAYS "represented my great niece" and my family in court VERY PROFESSIONALLY! Tracy was great and whenever we "had to make a payment" Jessica (Jess) was "ALWAYS AVAILABLE" to "discuss our account" and "help answer any questions"! Thanks again (AND AGAIN) to Loni Jo Poyner Klein (and her "GREAT TEAM" @ A Center for Children)!!!
In fact, my family and I "brought goodies" to the office (and are "going to bring them some more")!!!

Loni was referred to me by a friend and I will forever be thankful that she came into my life. She was extremely professional and obtained the results I desired during a very difficult time. If you need someone to help you fight for the safety of your children... do not hesitate to call her.

My situation was horrific. My son died, my grandson was abducted and my first atty incompetent. Then I found Loni Klein and everything changed! Loni is a caring,competent, knowledgeable and professional and a very experienced attorney. SHE GETS THE JOB DONE!!! Loni never made me or my case feel any less important than any other case of hers. Her staff is second to none too, which is no surprise. Loni stayed on top of everything, keeping me informed at all times. Her staff was wonderful too, given all my questions and concerns. Loni has such a calming way about her, she never looses her cool . She is very supportive and has a way about her that softens the hardest situation.
Loni has an excellent reputation in the legal community and with the people in the court house that work with her. When you mention her name, they can't say enough positive feedback and I knew I had the best of the best in my corner fighting for us.
Unbelievably, my longtime friend had a slightly similar situation, and after hearing me talk about Loni, unknowingly, her family hired Loni also and she too knew they were in good hands. Yes, they prevailed also like I did, thanks to Loni.
I am so thrilled to report that I am raising my wonderful grandson and am his guardian thanks to Loni's abilities to prevail.

Loni was very dependable & gave sound counsel. I really respected that she asked difficult questions when necessary, & probed to be sure we understood the consequences of a proposed course of action.

Loni was there when I needed Famliy Law answers quickly. She meet personally with me and explained everything to me in a non law language that I could understand. She was more than happy to explain things again and further if I needed. She gave me the best and worst case senerios. She was available to answer questions as I had them. She kept her appointments and court dates and didn't try to drag things out. She quoted me a price and it was very close to what I ended up paying. I hope to never have another family law problem, but if I do, I know who I will call without hesitation.

Loni represented me twice in court. Once for custody and then again for guardianship. She is the best by far. I feel she went beyond to help me get my disable grandson permanently in my care. Loni was always available or an associate would be very informed of my actual case and my concerns were always taken care of immediately. Even when money got tight, she still kept helping. I felt like she was doing the right thing and it wasn't about her money (although she truly deserved a lot more.) I felt like she was a friend and really knew my circumstance with my grandson. I would highly recommend Loni.
