Services
Large firms provide substantial manpower to staff cases and have overhead to match their size. This overhead results in higher costs to clients without better outcomes. The net result is that large firms often "over-lawyer" cases, at an unnecessary expense to clients. At large firms, senior partners often pass important work off to junior partners who pass it off to younger, less-experienced associates.
The Best Lawyers in America, an internationally recognized organization, honors Klein & Wilson by including them in the 2022 edition of the Best Lawyers publication for their work in commercial litigation. Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
Hourly rates for lawyers have gotten out of hand. At some firms, lawyers are charging over $1,000 per hour. At a rate of $1,000 per hour, a lawyer should be able to tell you the secret of eternal youth. But fee structures are not the only problems at law firms. At many firms, especially large firms, there are too many people working on a case.
Michael LeBoff and Brian Kelly represented myself and my company in an attempted business ownership claim. They gave solid guidance on what I was up against. We ended up in a jury trial that Michael LeBoff litigated to a unanimous verdict in our favor. K&W did a fantastic job. Mark Wilson handled our case efficiently and professionally.
The jury system adds a degree of uncertainty in evaluating cases; therefore, Klein & Wilson believes that conducting mock trials can give attorneys and clients a better understanding of likely trial results. Klein & Wilson has conducted mock trials in many cases involving potential damages of $750,000, or more.

I retained Mark Wilson as an expert witness on a plaintiff-side malpractice case. He did an excellent job and provided detailed and thoughtful opinions that were helpful to the jurors. Mr. Wilson was extremely responsive throughout the litigation, and dedicated to achieving the best result possible for the client. I would not hesitate to retain him again.

Mark Wilson worked with us on selling our business out of a partnership. The opposing party was not cooperative and the attorney on the other side was subpar. Mark worked diligently and concise to reduce our out of pocket costs. His knowledge of the law in his field is unparalleled. His responsiveness to our questions or concerns were 24/7. He was positively the right choice!! I would refer him to any person or a business of any size.

Mark Wilson of Klein and Wilson is a consummate professional. He handled our case efficiently; worked with our insurance adjuster; and settled the case in a pragmatic fashion that reduced costs. He is very knowledgeable, a good communicator and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again or refer him to others.

I am a law student at UCI Law who has been inspired by Mark Wilson's diligent, ethical, and passionate approach to the law. He was gracious enough to take the time to communicate with me and provide some guidance as I plan my career. It is refreshing to see a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and is committed to ethical lawyering, despite the incivility that pervades the legal world.

In my experience, the attorneys at Klein & Wilson are tough, focused and dedicated to their clients, in counsel and in the courtroom. Mark and everyone I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with at K&W have been patient, communicative and very clear with me about their strategy for success. They listen to my ideas, answer all my questions and carefully consider all options. When looking for a serious litigation attorney, I learned of their very high win rate. They have demonstrated to me that they have a sound moral compass and the tenacity to go the distance. They are fair but they don’t back

To the point, efficient, knowledgeable, strategic, exceptional follow through and always very responsive. What else could you want in a law firm representing you in the unpredictable pursuit of resolving a dispute. Klein & Wilson, and specifically Mark Wilson, represented our company in a dispute that was successfully settled. Now we can get back to business and not spending our time chasing the negative effort of a dispute resolution but instead doing what we do best; delivering value for our customers. Thank you Klein & Wilson!

I could not be more satisfied with the work of Klein & Wilson on our behalf in a recent lawsuit that was ultimately settled to our benefit. Mark Wilson was outstanding in every way. His legal skills and intellect are superior and his integrity, professionalism, wisdom and personal concern for us as clients made him truly outstanding.

Mark Wilson is a FANTASTIC lawyer and very dedicated to his clients! Mark represented me in a legal malpractice case. He was able to immediately point out the flaws of my prior attorneys and how my prior business suit should have properly been handled. And he was right. My case resulted in a very satisfying settlement. I certainly wish I had retained Mark from the start!
Mark was always immediately available whenever I called or emailed. His thought process was clear, concise, and to the point. His knowledge and skill was excellent. And when it came to billing, I felt his charges were

Mark Wilson is a superb litigator. He helped me with my case and was able to settle for an amount that was higher then I had hoped. His approach was clear and concise. He kept me informed at all times, and he was always available. He was efficient in handling my case and did not create work to drive up my cost. I wish I would have met Mark early on in my litigation path. I had 2 other lawyers, and Mark is by far the best. I highly recommend Mr. Wilson without reservation.

I've retained this firm a dozen times over the past 20 years to represent my company in assorted complex cases and couldn't have had a better experience. Bright, conscientious, committed to getting the best result possible, I would recommend them to anyone. Both Mark and Gerry are extremely creative and together we have negotiated some unusual settlements that were a "win/win" for both sides. I've been called on weekends because one of them had a new idea on how to handle something, showing me they were always thinking about how to get me the best result possible (and
