Gary Klein serves as Weitz & Luxenberg's managing attorney - he is responsible for all day-to-day operations and for determining which prospective negligence cases to accept based on a meticulous assessment of the injuries claimed, the time frames in which they occurred and many other considerations that shape a litigation's chances for success (the many clients with whom he meets find his kindly demeanor and ability to empathize most reassuring during this process).
Mr. Klein is also an accomplished negotiator who actively participates in settlement discussions as they arise - his involvement is one reason why Weitz & Luxenberg has been able to consistently secure such substantial sums (often reaching seven figures) from defendants who conclude that a fight in court will end badly for them.
