The Law and Mediation Firm of Klueck and Hoppes

There are reasons why the Law & Mediation Firm of Klueck & Hoppes won the Fine Magazine Reader’s Poll as Finest Overall Law Firm in San Diego County. It was not an accident.

Reason #1 What they do. Klueck & Hoppes is a full-service family law firm. Because all humans are formed into families, family lawyers serve many different types of people with infinitely varied legal and personal issues. Family lawyers are required to involve themselves with the most intimate and sensitive areas of human life. These areas include: divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, restraining orders, paternity, division of marital assets and debts. The legal challenges in family law are the concerns central to human life and, when a law firm does an extraordinary job of handling those concerns, there are many people who respect and are grateful to those lawyers in that special firm.

Reason #2 Who they are. There are 10 attorneys associated with the Klueck & Hoppes law firm. In forming together to serve their clients, this firm has gathered together an extraordinary group of dedicated legal professionals. In law school, their attorneys served as Editors of the Law Review and received the top grade in many classes. Once in their legal careers, they have been recognized with many awards besides the Finest Overall Law Firm poll in Fine Magazine. On six different occasions their lawyers have been recognized as Super Lawyers, five times they have been recognized as Top Attorneys in the San Diego Daily Transcript poll, four times they have been acknowledged as the "Best of the Bar" by the San Diego Business Journal.

This is a partial list of the awards that the attorneys in the Klueck & Hoppes firm have received. But beyond awards, the size of their firm permits them to better match an attorney with a given client. Their firm includes young lawyers and veterans, men and women, those focused more on business, tax and financial issues and those more comfortable with sensitive issues like children’s special needs. They have the capability of settling cases when appropriate and "going to war" in court when required.  

Reason #3 How they operate. All their professional client relationships begin with a free consultation. At that consultation, the client is provided with a large quantity of information about California family law. Toward the end of the consultation, clients are provided with multiple handouts so that they can later privately review what was discussed at the free consultation. Clients are provided with the firm’s Mission Statement, "Our Commitment to Access to Justice," which explains the firm’s commitment to serve a diverse clientele and to strongly protect the interests of both high-income and middle-class clients. Clients are then provided with 3 options as to how they would prefer to retain the firm. This permits the client to match the chosen option with what works best for the client and their budget.

Reason #4 How they match their services to the client’s situation. Clients and their family law cases are not "one-size-fits-all." Some clients and situations demand that the law firm fight the opponents very aggressively! In those situations, the Klueck & Hoppes firm prepares and wages courtroom war. Other situations require an openness to settlement. In those situations, the firm attempts to find creative solutions to craft a fair settlement that protects their clients. Some clients come to the law firm seeking an "amicable divorce." The firm assists those clients to re-form their family in a manner that permits the clients to find the post-divorce calm they are seeking. Members of the firm have been trained and have practiced all major alternatives to going to court including: divorce mediation, private judging, collaborative divorce, and cooperative divorce. Their firm also offers "limited scope" representation, where appropriate.
