How much does it cost to hire Jeff for a alimony case?

Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Jeff walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

Does Jeff offer a free consultation?

Jeff charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Jeff's office. Some alimony attorneys offer free consults — check Jeff's current terms during booking.

How long do alimony cases in New York typically take?

Simple alimony matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Jeff gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

Can Jeff take my case if I'm outside New York?

Jeff is licensed in New York. Matters governed by New York law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Jeff will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

What should I bring to my first meeting with Jeff?

Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Jeff will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

Biography

Jeff Klein, alimony attorney serving New York

Jeffrey Klein concentrates his practice in the field of matrimonial and family law.

Mr. Klein was born outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, attended The Mercersburg Academy and then Clark University where he obtained his Bachelor's degree in 1974. Mr. Klein attended St. John's University School of Law and obtained his Juris Doctorate in 1977. Since the beginning of his legal career, Mr. Klein has been exclusively a matrimonial lawyer.

Mr. Klein handles cases between married couples in Supreme Court involving divorce, custody, support and equitable distribution, as well as cases between both married and unmarried couples in Family Court, involving family offenses (orders of protection), paternity, custody and child support. Mr. Klein has appeared before the trial courts of all 5 boros of New York City, as well as appearing in Westchester County and Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. Mr. Klein has appeared and argued cases before the Appellate Division.

Because of the high financial and emotional costs of protracted litigation, Jeffrey's first emphasis is on exploring whether the client's objectives can fairly be achieved through a negotiated settlement. However, in those cases where a fair settlement cannot be achieved, Mr. Klein takes aggressive professional steps and works diligently to ensure that his clients are prepared to achieve the best possible result in Court, as was the case in Anonymous v Anonymous, 107 AD 3d, 04553, a custody case involving two young children. Mr. Klein was successful after a lengthy trial in having custody awarded to his client and was successful, again, after the other side took an appeal.

Mr. Klein also counsels clients who wish to enter into a prenuptial agreement or a separation agreement.

In 2014, Mr. Klein was admitted as a Fellow into the New York Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. As set forth on the organization's national website, "To be represented by a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers is to be represented by a leading practitioner in the field of family law. The 1650 AAML Fellows across the United States are generally recognized by judges and attorneys as preeminent family law practitioners with a high level of knowledge, skill and integrity. Academy Fellows enjoy a reputation for professionalism, competence and integrity."

In addition to the AAML, Mr. Klein is a member of the New York State Bar Association, Family Law Section. Mr. Klein has been cited for his pro bono efforts in providing representation for those unable to affort an attorney.

Mr. Klein resides in Manhattan and enjoys reading, riding a Pelaton, jogging around Central Park reservoir, and hearing live music. He is married with an adult daughter.
