Solid defense, room to improve

Attorney Klander handled a complex professional liability case for our firm with a solid understanding of both consumer law and malpractice defense. Her expertise in defending against claims—particularly in commercial litigation—was evident, and we appreciated her recognition in these areas. However, communication could be more consistent, and response times were occasionally slower than expected. While outcomes were satisfactory, we had hoped for more proactive updates. Overall, her legal acumen is strong, but the client experience felt lackluster at times.

Competent but Communication Could Improve

Attorney Jessica L. Klander demonstrated strong expertise in defending professional liability claims, particularly in consumer law defense. Her deep experience and awards in commercial litigation were evident in handling our case. However, we experienced delays in responses and occasional disconnect in communication regarding case updates. While her knowledge of bankruptcy and malpractice law was impressive, we would have appreciated more proactive updates. She met expectations in court, but the administrative aspects felt less polished. Overall, a competent attorney with room for improvement in client engagement.

Her deep expertise in consumer law defense and professional malpractice claims was evident in her strategic approach, which ultimately led to a favorable outcome. Jessica's ability to navigate intricate legal arguments and her meticulous preparation were crucial in our defense.
