Seth is a thoughtful attorney that will always seek out the best solutions for his clients.

Years ago I hired Mr. Klasky to handle my divorce. What a mistake! In time, after compering his bills with activity with my ex attorney, I found that he overcharged me at least 2 times. So, I documented all and fired this S.O.B. I should have report him to Bar Association. Do not deal with this CROOK!

He is not honest at all, in the begging he makes you hopeful and ensure that he will win the case, just to convince you to pay him. After that he drags the case so he can charge you more. He lies a lot and just thinks about how to make more money out of you. Be very careful .

It took way more time than it should have, he told at the first meeting I would 60% bills and 40% assets. After two years and thousands of dollars that what turned out. He never got the lease for my x wife condo she renting, it was only after the divorce did I discover she had bought it with $90,000.00 down. When I pointed out that there thousands OF DOLLARS in appliance that she bought on my credit cards that never came to our house he did nothing. He never did find out where her pay check was deposited and accepted the fact that she said she was broke… The final straw was the day of my divorce was to be finalized he informed me my IRA would be part of property settlement. I reminded him that we had negotiated this as not joint property as I had not add to it since I was married. He told me that he and my wife attorney had agreed to change. I got the divorce that day fired him and hired another attorney who got it declared that it was not joint property. Do not hire him for anything.

I used Klasky for a small lawsuit a couple of years ago and found that instead of resolving which could have been done, Klasky found a way to continue fighting the case and charging me more money. I finally decided to pull the case from him and settled it myself within 24 hours. Beware of this guy...

I used Mr. Klasky for both my divorce and my bankruptcy. In both cases he was an amazing and supportive attorney. During my divorce he made sure that things were fair and realistic. I applaud and thank him for rather painless divorce and bankruptcy experiences!

My case was transferred to Mr. Bennett R. Klasky by a lawyer I had hired who had to move and could no longer represent me. I had never heard of Bennett before nor did I ever have a chance to ask him questions about how this would all be handled since the transfer took place without my consent. Bennett went on to promise that he would not bill me for the actual transfer or the initial phone conversation and would be billing me at the rate that my previous lawyer was. He then went on to complain about how he normally bills twice as much and that I'm lucky he's doing this for me. Bennett immediately began showing how much of an untrustworthy flake he was. He missed a court date which he was fully aware of and was even reminded of. When the court date was missed, a judgement was entered against me. I was furious, I called his firm and left numerous voicemails for days demanding an explanation and stating very firmly that he will have to fix this at his expense. After days and days of waiting, Bennett finally called me back and told me that he made a mistake and would get the judgement reversed at HIS expense. I expressed to him that it was very important to me that this case not be damaged by any mistakes or irresponsibility and that I was already irritated that I had to switch lawyers without any warning. In a few months time, I received yet another notice that a judgement was entered against me on a new court date. I called Bennett, very upset again and this time he claimed that he had been in court at his expense and that there must have been a mistake. He again said that he would take care of it at his expense and that he needed a retainer and $500 from me for future work after he followed up and motioned for a transfer to kill two birds with one stone. All went silent after I received notice that my case was being transferred to a court near my place. Bennett had a $500 retainer sitting there for the upcoming court date. There was no time that he could bill me on. Suddenly, I get a call from the original lawyer who tells me that the opportunity elsewhere didn't work out and that he was back. He said that he received the case back from Bennett and that he would now be working on it. I was very upset and confused, I had never authorized a transfer and needed to be sure that my case would be handled by someone who was familiar with it. I called Bennett and again was unable to reach him. I left him detailed voicemails which I recorded stating that I was very upset that he released my case without my consent and that I needed my unused retainer back in full ($500) immediately. Bennett followed up by leaving me a voicemail that I did authorize the transfer because that's what he was told (there was NOTHING told to the first lawyer nor was there any paperwork signed by me on a transfer) and that he's going to believe the lawyer over me because the lawyer is a lawyer. So in other words, he called me a liar. He said he would be requesting the file back, he would be filing a motion to withdraw and that he will "get his money". Bennett never once had a chance to dip into my $500 AT ALL. He is a thief, he is a liar and I will be filing a bar association complaint very soon once I receive his "invoice" for his time. He is refusing to give me my money back and will not ever answer his phone when I call. There are MANY other lawyers out there who will not rip you off, miss court dates and treat you like a liar. BEWARE!!!
