[A] powerful and effective force in the courtroom because of his quick intelligence, leadership and ethics . . . a strategic thinker and gifted at logical extensions, analogies and extrapolations. *** He always knows the law with thorough research but also with analysis and deliberation . . . the kind of lawyer who is respectful and courteous, yet because of his skill and intelligence he dominates . Retired Judge I have both personal and professional respect for Saul. He brought a unique combination of legal and business expertise to the city, and we were fortunate to have him as our legal director. Karl Dean Former Mayor, Metro Government of Nashville & Davidson County I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Klein Solomon Mills team on several occasions. Having used multiple firms in the past, I find them to be great listeners who evaluate the most efficient and effective solution . They excel in both strategy and tactics in their areas of legal expertise. Chuck Ransom Founding Partner, Rezult Group Michael provides first class legal services for his clients. He is responsive to his clients’ business demands and extremely efficient in handling assignments. He takes great care to ensure that his clients’ interests and sensitivities are protected in each negotiation. Scott J. Bojczuk Former Chief Administrative Officer & General Counsel Advance Financial I had the pleasure of working with Rita Roberts-Turner on a new career opportunity. She was attentive to my needs and asked relevant questions to make sure I not only understood the contract but that it also benefitted my career. I will definitely be returning to her for her impeccable personal service that made me feel confident in my career decision. Dr. LuSheena Jones-Coofer Kevin engineered a tactically superb and tireless defense of the Nashville school system in one of the most significant lawsuits in our city’s history . As chairman of the Metro Nashville Board of Education, I witnessed Kevin’s mastery of complex subjects and his coolness under sustained pressure, both of which proved critical in winning the legal battle. David Fox Founder, Titan Advisors LLC We've used Michael Mills over the years across three separate companies. During a lengthy period of hectic times at Stratasan, we would consistently wonder how it was possible that Michael had other clients. His effectiveness along with efficiency is invaluable as a legal partner. He and the rest of Klein Solomon Mills, PLLC feel very much like a part of our team. Jason Moore Founder and CEO, Stratasan Callie and Saul are consummate professionals. I felt confidence, empathy and assurance throughout their legal advice. I experienced a more than favorable outcome and would recommend them to anyone seeking legal advisory. Vincent M. Gioiella Brookside Charter School has had the privilege to work with Klein Solomon Mills for almost 10 years. They are easy to work with . Whenever we need guidance, they are a quick phone call away. Roger Offield Superintendent, Brookside Charter School . . . hardworking, thorough, and ethical . . . easy to work with, pleasant with all, and unrelenting in his efforts to successfully handle legal matters . Sue Cain Former Metro Nashville Director of Law Rita was extremely knowledgeable and especially attentive to our church’s specific needs as she patiently guided us through governance and liability issues. Bishop Sandy McClain Mt. Calvary Madison I think you are the best writer I have ever known . Partner AmLaw 200 Law Firm I don’t know if you typically take the time to read the briefs that get filed in the cases involving [our client], but if not, please make an exception in this case. It is excellent; better than any of the hundreds of briefs I have written in my career . If we do not carry the day (and we should if justice is done) it will not be because the plaintiffs’ brief was better. Thomas Cross Deputy Director, Metro Nashville Department of Law Looks like Kevin has covered everything but earthquakes and killer bee attacks . He always does a good job. Wish we had him on all our cases. Steve Anderson Former Metro Nashville Police Chief I have litigated in federal courts for a big law firm for more than two decades, and there isn’t anyone I would rather have in the trenches with me than Kevin Klein. *** Kevin prepares thoroughly, has great instincts, and is completely at home in the courtroom. John Borkowski Partner, Am Law 100 Law Firm format_quote
