John Klopfenstein had great success in helping my friend Lee T. Ballard receive a complete refund from an apartment complex where he was living. John drove from Salinas to Camel, took the time and interest to hear how he had been wronged. Wrote a letter demanding fair treatment for the elderly. Within a short time, he succeeded. Lee wants everyone to know John is an exceptional Lawyer and he'll always be grateful.- Marcia R.
