Fort Lauderdale Attorneys- Fighting Big Government
Experience: We’ve got the experience you want.
When you are looking for experience, look no further than Shooster Kahn & Kleinman. Attorney Robert Kahn has been practicing 37 years; Frank Shooster, 25 years; and Tiffany Kleinman, 10 years.
Credentials: We’ve got top-notch credentials.
Attorney Frank Shooster is Board Certified by the Florida Bar in Civil Trial Practice. He has been recognized as a Superlawyer™, according to Law and Politics Magazine, based on a statewide poll of 44,000 attorneys—the only lawyer in Broward County to achieve this distinction in the field of plaintiff’s employment law.
Attorney Linda Chapman holds an award from the Department of Children and Family Services as the best Public Employment Relations Commission attorney in the State.
Two of us have been elected frequently by our peers to serve in the leadership of the National Employment Lawyers Association of Florida. Frank Shooster is immediate past president. Tiffany Kleinman is a former officer and currently serves on the Board of Directors. Attorney Robert Kahn, is licensed in three states and has appeared before the Florida Supreme Court. Attorney Tiffany Kleinman and Attorney Frank Shooster have co-authored professional treatises on the subject of wrongful termination and retaliation, including the most prestigious treatise in the field of employment law: Lindemann & Grossman's, Employment Discrimination. Together we have authored or co-authored numerous articles for the profession, and regularly lecture at professional association gatherings.
Style: We’re down-to-earth.
We aren’t stuffy. If you like mahogany walls, contracts that sound like gobbledygook, you won't like us since we think it’s important to speak and write in plain English. Our offices are designed to be welcoming, not intimidating. Our staff refers to us by our first names, and that’s how we like to be addressed by our clients. Speaking of being down to "Earth," we received an eco-hero award nomination from the Miami Herald as the first law firm in Florida to require recycled paper.
Philosophy: We'll collaborate, not dominate.
We consider our role to be collegial, not bossy. We believe it is our clients who deserve to make final decisions. Our job is to counsel them with our best assessment of the consequences of the alternatives available to them.
Affordability: We seek affordable solutions.
We know that many of our clients face difficult economic circumstances, so we make it affordable by offering contingent fee and flexible payment plans whenever we can. We will show you how to minimize your legal expenses by avoiding unnecessary phone calls and by giving you the option to perform tasks that do not require a lawyer’s participation. When you retain any lawyer in our firm, you hire the entire team. Teamwork makes it possible to deliver legal services at the lowest cost while ensuring quality performance.
Determination: We’re determined to see you succeed.
We may be low key and laid-back in our demeanor, but we approach each case with single-minded determination. We know that the key to victory is Preparation, Preparation, and Preparation—and that takes time and focus. When an adversary knows we have no hesitation in taking a case to trial, along with the skills required for courtroom success, they will take us more seriously than a law firm with a reputation for avoiding trial. That means better settlement offers, and ultimately fewer cases that need to go to trial.
Technology: We’re known for our technological savvy.
We use computer technology from investigation to legal research, from case analysis to trial preparation and from trial exhibits to courtroom advocacy in all areas of our practice. Technology allows us to operate more efficiently, effectively, and persuasively. Our custom design and focus group tested trial exhibits have been featured in professional seminars as teaching tools and have been used by other law firms to help their clients.
Small Caseload: We accept serious matters only.
As a boutique firm, we limit ourselves to a small volume of important matters, rather than a large volume of less important matters.
Our Clients: Ordinary folks with extraordinary problems.
-
Public and private employees—from minimum wage earners to executives and professionals
-
Small to medium businesses and professional practices
-
Non-profit organizations
-
Religious institutions of all denominations
Fighting Big Government and Big Business is Our Business
The civil justice system makes it possible for the weak to challenge the strong on a level playing field, and we stand ready to take on the wealthy and powerful on behalf of victimized individuals and small businesses. We don’t shy away from controversy when the cause is just.
Integrity: We won’t compromise our ethics—or yours.
Maintaining the highest ethical standards is not only the right thing to do, but the most effective way to help our clients. We demand the same from our clients, so if you are looking for someone to help you exaggerate your injuries, mislead the court, solicit false testimony or manufacture evidence; look elsewhere, since we won’t represent you.
