I contacted Kline & Specter. They did not practice in Chicago, but had national referral. I emailed with the referral firm and sent the 1700+ pages of medical records for review. Kline & Specter contacted me 24 hours later and said they will not take the case with no explanation. No exchange at all with lawyers or paralegals. I don't get it. read more

The screener for med mal was very rude and unhelpful (Rena may be her name). Too bad cause my sister seems to have a good case and this firm was recommended by a fellow lawyer read more

Lorraine Donnelly and Melissa Baxter are legal ROCK STARS. Kline & Specter helped me bring a wrongful death suit and they got justice for my father when no one else could, including law enforcement. I didn't pay them a dollar to do so; as a contingent-fee firm, they laid out high costs associated with trials and expert witnesses which would've made it impossible for the average person like me to take a large defendant to court. Due to COVID and the associated delays, K&S worked with me for several years before the case could go to trial, and during that time I was readied and prepared for what was to come. Every step of the way, from our very first phone call, I felt like I really had someone capable and caring on my side. For several weeks of trial and many 100 degree days, (mind you, one of them was 9 months pregnant at the time!) I was fortunate to have a front row seat watching these two brilliant attorneys do what they do best: advocate for their client, prove their case, and WIN. I'm truly honored to have had these incredible women on my side and I will never hesitate to recommend Kline & Specter *particularly Lorraine and Melissa!* to anyone in need of a plaintiff's attorney who wants the best of the best. read more

My family was the plaintiff in the wrongful death of our loved one. They wasted 8 months of our statute of limitations time to file a case ,,,,,,,waiting for a medical review. Poor Communication, Delays, Misleading Information, No Communication, Delays, Not Accountable + more Delays. We waited to learn if they would accept the case for 8 months. I fired them when I learned the review wasn't started. K&S only wants Slam Dunk cases with BIG winnings. Please Go Elsewhere ! read more

I'm very grateful to have found Kline and Specter. They were truly in it for the long haul and they fight tirelessly for me. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing attorneys that truly care. read more

Michael Cavaliere was my lawyer and he did an amazing job. He was assisted by Richard Gorman, during the trial. It was very interesting to see a real jury trial in progress, lawyers going head to head with each other, experts giving testimony, etc, it was amazing to witness. And it's not like what you see on tv, it's not speedy like they make out, mine lasted 3 weeks. I was kept informed about anything related to my case by either mail or phone calls. I would definitely recommend this law firm. read more

I called Kline and specter after I had a massive heart attack and was denied help at a hospital after being life flighted in. the hospital just accused me of being a drug addict and discharged me 9 days later I had another massive heart attack leaving me in the hospital needing immediate heart surgery to save my life and Kline and specter aren't interested in helping me read more

I could not have asked for a better law firm to handle my case. Kline & Specter truly cares about their clients. Mr. Millrood and his paralegal, Lisa Lewandowski, kept me informed on my matter. They have always come to my aid, offered support and dealt with my concerns quickly and professionally. I'm pleased with my outcome and the overall experience. I thank you all and you can be sure that a recommendation will always be served proudly on your behalf from me. read more

I am upset that over a week of my time was wasted in waiting anxiously for NO RESPONSE after intake paralegal Amy Binns took my information, encouraged me to send all my documents and photos related to my case (which I did same day), and assured me she would get right back to me. She didn't. When I followed up three times, she finally emailed back that she would be getting back to me that day. That was three days ago. Amy didn't even bother letting me know Kline and Specter wasn't interested in taking on my health insurance fraud case, which is not just unprofessional and unhelpful. It is disrespectful of my time, discourteous, and highly insensitive - since I am very anxious about my current financial situation and the fact that I forwarded private health care information to her email address. I'll move on to another prospective attorney. Regards, Dr. Kimberly Free read more

I'm not sure where to begin.... We were told we had a very strong case, there was clear evidence of wrongful death. Everything seemed fine in the beginning, but slowly things started getting weird. You could tell things were being drawn out, or he wouldn't answer your calls, and when he did he had to call you back. Of course you only have 2 years to actually submit the paperwork needed to take your case to trial. The more we got into it the longer it took to get any kind of response. Anything Richard Gorman asked of us, we had it done as quickly as possible. His demeanor changed at one point where he started saying things like "I need to speak to my superiors". But we'd never hear back. Finally towards the end of our window to file we demanded answers. He then said he was going to have his superiors answer the question, but halfway through the call he changed his mind and just stated "we're not going to be taking your case". Why did it take almost 2 years to give us that answer? Had we known it was gonna go like this, we would have actually went with another lawyer because after all this went down, we contacted several lawyers which a few of them just from speaking without any paperwork stated "you definitely have a strong case". I'm very curious as to what he was doing all those months. It was almost as if he was stalling us, waiting until the very last second to tell us no. Which every other lawyer that we spoke to thought was very strange and was wondering why it took almost 2 years just for a no, that in the beginning was so very hopeful that we could get justice. I can't tell you the amount of doctors and nurses that we spoke to that went through the files pointing out exactly where there was clear negligence. So if that many professionals could see there was definitely very suspicious activity, with clear evidence and concern, what happened that changed his mind? We have our theories, but no clear proof. I will say the other lawyers we spoke to, at least 1/3 of them, had heard of this company, and kind of paused whenever we explained the situation, and said they weren't surprised, they had heard a lot of negativity surrounding them With this kind of case. I'm not sure why we waited so long to try another lawyer, we definitely should have noticed the suspicious behavior, and I'm sure we'd be in a much better place had we just done that. Now we'll never get justice, nobody will be reprimanded for their negligent actions, and we lost a very strong case. Im sure you can come up with your own conclusions on why someone would purposefully drawl out a case for almost 2 years, knowing that no other lawyer would take that on so late in the game. I just hope this never happens to anyone else. Justice won't be served now, nor will we be compensated for a wrongful death. Just know if anyone is dragging things along, move on to another lawyer. Had we done that early on, we'd probably have been able to prevent these actions from happening again. Drs need to be held accountable for the standards just as everybody else in the world does. read more

Provided Klein and Specter forms to begin a case against Monsanto back in 2022. So far nothing has happened. I have to continually reach out and ask for an update. I am waiting for them to provide me our case number which I just asked for today. read more

I have no rating for this company,they have no morals to themselves. It took over 6 yrs.to complete my case almost at the end of it someone called me and asked me how much do I expect to get and I told them I want more than you guys are gonna take from me. So a few months went by and I got another call saying that I was gonna be awarded 280 thousand dollars on that sound pretty good then they went on telling me what all comes out of that money and how much I'm gonna be getting.you tell me who got screwed without the vasalen I only got 52, thousand out of 280 thousand they got the rest.. I'm not happy at all and they won't answer the phone. read more

I called explaining the full issue about a vert serious matter....I wanted to specify all my concerns and the representative was rushing with no understanding of his job and AjAy the manager told him to get off phone as they had other calls and I was taking to long. My urgency was laughed at by the manager AjAy .....as this was a matter of life and death., so I guess if you are not respected enough and rushed by customer service and told I have other callers and a manager told agent to get off phone and I was laughed at by AjAy the manager I would not at all recommended this firm.How horrifying is that? Completely unacceptable. read more

After reading negative reviews, I was treated the same way. Had my file for nearly a year & I'm the one that had to keep calling to get updates. I was so disgusted after my last call, all of a sudden, they couldn't do anything for me, medical records were documented. Not once was I asked my deposition & my records. Hindsight I should've reported it to Bar Assoc. Don't wait on them too long, time will run out to file a claim. read more

Kline & Specter recently represented my husband and I in a product liability case.  From day one, everyone there treated us with kindness and respect and always took the time to respond promptly to our many, many questions and concerns. Our case was taken very seriously and much time and effort went into settling it.  We could not be more pleased with our legal representation and the outcome of our case.  Our case was complex and took years to complete, but my husband and I will be forever grateful to everyone at Kline & Specter who always looked out for our best interest and worked tirelessly on our behalf. If you are looking for an outstanding,  professional and competent law firm,  no need to look further than Kline & Specter.  They are the best of the best !! PS. A special heartfelt thanks to our attorney, Lee Balefsky !! read more

Sorry, but I spoke with an intake rep who dismissively said that unless I'd lost a limb or something, they'd not consider my case. A year later, a noted lawyer intervened on my behalf with them and had a partner speak with me. She called me by the wrong name, clearly had read nothing about my case, interrupted me multiple times, and basically dismissed me much as the intake rep had. read more

case was declined without a reason after intake. Never had a chance to speak to a lawyer. I suspect that it's just too complicated. Law firms say free Consultations, but in reality give no advice and are just cherry picking their cases. Beware. read more

I am a client of Kline/Specter and I was represented by both attorney Jimenez and balefsky and they did nothing for me only causing me more heartache and pain as if I wasn't going through enough with medical issues and that's why they were brought on to my case. I was blindsided and lied to regarding a settlement and now I am trying to undo the damaged they caused by not be upfront with me, decisions where being made without my consent and I was left out of the lope. I am shocked and saddened that as a victim of a defective product, I was treated so badly, they did not care anything about me. When I asked questions I was treated dismissively and felt like a child be scolded. If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

Their ok, I'm in Delaware so I ended up getting a firm that was just acting as Klein Spector when other than paying Klein Spector a percentage of your settlement they had nothing to do with my case kinda like a finders fee went to Klein Spector. My lawyer set the bar/demand too low so when the company got ready to settle all they had to do was meet in the middle which was about 10 or 20 K lower than it should have been. I'd bet my law firm didn't have ten hours of time in my case so they got about two thousand bucks an hour. While I'm left walking around with a Cane. So take your time picking a lawyer try to find one with a five star rating. Here's the kicker. My lawyer also took an additional over 500$ from "my" share to pay the filing cost, that hurt. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Don't trust your case especially if it is time sensitive like mine is under a statute of limitation. Nadeem Bezar lied and was rude and claimed he would represent me after giving him mountains of documents just for him to say that he couldn't help me after having barely to any contact AFTER 9 MONTHS!!! Lucky for me I found a competent and caring lawyer who quickly and perisistenly is truly fighting for me and saw the value of not only my case but in me in a title IX retaliation case. Do yourself a favor and Don't waste your time and energy... read more

When I needed an attorney the only call I made was to Kline and Specter. Regan Safier handled our case and what a blessing it was to have her. With Regan's compassion, dedication and intellect she was very successful in getting us compensated for my wife's injuries. With this compensation all of my wife's present and future medical needs are taking care of. In fact we just designed a handicapped accessible home that is being built and will be done in a few months. We are forever grateful for Kline and Specter and especially Regan Safier! Thank you for everything. The Lakin's read more

First and foremost I am a legitimate client of Kline and Specter's. My review is based on my experience with them. I was represented by Mr. Lee Balefsky as well as representation by Ms. Priscilla Jimenez. I only experienced the highest level of honest and ethical professional representation from day one. I was treated like a valued client and not just a case file. I was never left wondering and was always included in every decision. I had one demand and that was to ultimately explain how my life had been effected and for all parties to be made aware. Ms. Jimenez gave me that and much more. The empathy combined with outstanding legal expertise brought about an emotional closure I never thought possible. Ms. Jimenez treated me as if I was the most important person in the world. I never felt pressured, rushed or alone. That was invaluable to me after all I had and will continue to experience. The professional side of me as an RN has worked with many different law firms. Some were good, some great and well others I decline to comment. Kline and Specter is in a league of their own. They deserve every one of my 5 stars and I would give 10 if I could. I will always refer any case to this firm and highly recommend them to all! Elizabeth read more

Not trust worthy at all. They don't return your calls and are rude. I would seriously suggest to avoid them for they lack integrity.

They were very responsive in terms of getting back to me, but were useless otherwise. Despite my second inquiry being totally different than the first time I contacted them they would not even entertain a discussion to try to understand why I had contacted them again. I was excited after seeing the commercial but would never recommend them to anyone. I was hoping to be treated like a person rather than being discounted over a matter that has changed my life forever. Very, very disappointing. read more
