Meet Robert J. Klassen

I built my practice to be accessible, affordable and amicable. After all, legal proceedings are complicated enough without the added stresses of dealing with multiple lawyers, paralegals and assistants. So, when you enlist my counsel, you'll benefit from continual one-on-one support in your matter. Contact me to get started.
