About Ellis B Klein Associates

My experience as a Senior Deputy DA is what sets me apart from other lawyers. I have handled over 10,000 Criminal, DUI and Traffic cases over the past 25+ years and am proud that over 300 clients have posted five-star reviews online.

There are Many Lawyers to Choose From. Why Call Me?

My experience as a Senior Deputy District Attorney is what sets me apart from other defense attorneys. I have handled over 10,000 criminal and traffic cases and my experience permits me to examine the case from both sides to best represent my clients. Over the last 25 years in practice I have worked with hundreds of local police officers, and I have appeared before local county judges in thousands of cases. I know the local system and all of the tricks the police use to gain an advantage. Few attorneys possess my background and experience in this area of the law.

My sole area of practice is defending DUI, Criminal and Traffic cases. I am not a general practitioner who handles many different types of law. I am not a “jack-of-all-trades.” Criminal law has been my primary practice area since I became a lawyer over 25 years ago.

I treat clients the way I would want to be treated if I was experiencing legal problems – with honesty, kindness and respect. I do not tell clients what they want to hear just to get a case. I do not scare clients into retaining me. What I do is tell clients the truth, right over the phone. I call clients back, even at night or on weekends and I am almost always accessible for questions and concerns by phone, email or text.

Whomever you choose to represent you, do your homework. Ask questions and then ask more questions. Read reviews from former clients online on websites like Avvo.com. Get second opinions but be wary of lawyers who scare you into retaining them or who just tell you what you want to hear. You must be comfortable with your attorney and be certain that he has the experience to properly represent you in court.

Awards and Accolades: I have been rated as an “Excellent” attorney by the lawyer review website Avvo.com. I have over 200 Five-Star reviews from former clients on Avvo.com and have earned the prestigious Avvo “Client’s Choice Award”, as voted by my clients. You can review my profile and read reviews from former clients at www.Avvo.com. I have also been ranked as One of the Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys in Pennsylvania by the American Society for Legal Advocates and One of the 10 Best Attorneys in Pennsylvania for Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of DUI Attorneys. I care about my clients and it shows in my reviews from former clients.

I retained Ellis Klein as the attorney for my sons DUI case. I have nothing but great things to say about Ellis. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable on handling DUI cases. He guided my son through the entire process. As a mother, I was worried about the outcome for a 2nd DUI. Ellis was able to negotiate restrictive probation for my son instead of serving any jail time. I am truly thankful for the services that Ellis provided for my son.

After reading several reviews I took a chance and phoned Ellis B. Klein & Associates. I was out of state and unsure of how to proceed with my case in PA, how it would effect me in NJ etc. He listened to me explain my case, he then calmed me down and explained everything thoroughly and clearly. It was all done rather quickly, it all went exactly as he said and I ended up with a lesser charge, zero points and refunded fine! I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Klein. I am beyond thrilled with my experience. Definitely recommend using his services.

I retained Ellis Klein for 2 DUI court cases. The first case I was able to get community service and teh charges expunged from my record. Unfortunately, I had a 2nd DUI and retained him again. I was charged with 3 offenses and Ellis was able get 2 of the charges waived. In most cases with a DUI you would get jail time for up to 90 days . Ellis was able to get me restricted house arrest for 45 days with probation. I would highly recommend Ellis as he is very knowledgeable of the courts and handing DUI cases.... Grateful for his services and the outcome!

Ellis Klein was recommended to me by Family. After my first phone conversation with Ellis it was clear that he understood the law and immediately started strategizing my defense. His preparation, knowledge and presentation far exceeded my expectation. Without a doubt I would recommend Ellis.

Since COVID I've almost become accustomed to the disappointment involved in hiring any service. This firm has renewed my faith in what should be expected in a business transaction. I received some potentially devastating tickets involving points. I hired this firm simply because a 'flyer'was attached.He communicated his intended strategy with me,completed it to the letter, accomplished everything he said he was going to do and his staff responded to any phone calls immediately. I walked away with zero points and never set foot in court. I hope I will never require his services but he will be the only call for me to make should the situation arise. They made a traumatic situation stress-free and I really really appreciate it.

I received a reckless driving ticket and did not know what to do. There was a lot on the line and I wanted to be sure that I did the right thing. I googled traffic law attorneys and found Off The Record. They connected me with Ellis B Klein and Associates. They were always available and gave me great advice. Thankfully, they are got my ticket dismissed!! It was the best decision! The process was smooth and easy. If you're on the fence, take this as a sign! Use them!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
