CAUTION!!! BEWARE!!! "INCOMPETENT Draft of law suits (pleadings). LOST VIA DISMISSAL. APPEAL WENT NO WHERE, BUT MY FEES WENT UP !!! NO POSITIVE RESULTS!!! GOT STUNG WITH OPPOSING COUNCIL FEES OF NEARLY $100,000 yep thats ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND !!! Complete a*****e. KNOWS HES "UNREASONABLE" and he ENJOYS BEING SO. STEVEN KLENDA TREATS ME LIKE A 3RD CLASS CITIZEN WHEN I TRY TO PAY HIM, VERY DEMANDING. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. BE WARNED!!!! WATCH OUT!!!!
read paragraph 5 most important. OMG WHAT A NIGHTMARE! HE LOST EVERYTHING HE DID FOR ME!! MY LIFE DEGENERATED FINANCIALLY BY 2-3 YEARS AFTER HE'S "HELPED ME".
Other attornies have called his PLEADINGS-written documents to the court to start the lawsuit-"INCOMPETENT", "MORONIC", "NO WONDER YOU LOST SO QUICKLY WITH NO TRIAL EVEN AS AN OPTION," ETC ETC
His colleauges say he "has the worst reputation in DENVER". "He's the worst person to ever try to negotiate with, NO WONDER HE LOSES SO OFTEN."
My Experience
1. Steven Klenda like all attornies came on somewhat suave and want to be "helpful." Man I was in a heap of trouble when Channel 7 discovered some records from my previous clinic had been dumped in the garbage after I sold it. My mother had passed, I was down and out broke and nearly destitute due to the defamation I endured on line from the field day the news station had with the patient records being discovered in the street....along comes Klenda at bible study. WOWSERS.
2. He said he would help me with my case allowing to be paid on a "hybrid contingency." UMH, o.k., seemed o.k. considering I was broke, lost my ENTIRE LIFE'S SAVINGS AND WAS NEARLY HOMELSS AND GREIVING the loss of my mother, and closest relative. Channel 7 had been reporting I was being investigated by the police which was not true. We decided to sue them for DEFAMATION.
3. The case was dismissed almost immediately. One or two hearings, I believe, and the bill was already RATCHETED UP TO $70,000. "but of course we need to continue to take this through the appeals process," etc etc. He guises himself as "an appellate attorney" so of course it makes sense. Well, after gaining some sense that this guy wouild never be victorious, and after I called the court house and having him tell me that he wasn't going to PAY UP, I had not choice but to terminate him for fear of losing yet more fees to the OPPOSITION and go deeper into debt when again, I had no chance of paying him back at the time due to my loss of income and savings, again, which was explained to him BEFORE WE ENGAGED.
4. AFTER ONLY one year of employment living in a ghetto having just started my OWN BUSINESS, he became very demanding. I had no credit, very little in savings while trying to run a professional practice which requires significant cash to maintain and operate he smelt blood in the water. He demanded a UCC FILING to continue working and to secure his fees through the process of the appeal.
5. He smelt blood in the water. After only 1 year of employment after having been desperately UNEMPLOYED FOR 2 YEARS, he became very demanding after he realized I had been working my a*s of i had stock piled a very small amount for operating income. HE WANTED IT ALL! I told him I couild not pay the $70K he was demanding. HE basically told me via phone he wasn't going to continue to work then he withdrew when I threatened to fire him, ultimately thats all he wanted. He's NOT A PRO BONO TYPE OF GUY!
Basically, I got my first bill for more than 70K when the entire case as was explained would be 70K. He hired an expert witness who was LAUGHED OUT OF THE COURT ROOM WHOM THEN DEMANDED 20K FOR APPEARING. I then expected the second BILL after his preparation of breifings to the APPELATE COURT (his supposed expertise) to be a few thousand more since all he did was barely prepare a briiefing. My next shocker was well above 100K. Well, now he has a UCC LIEN on my practice, he won't remove it, I can't get a loan to payhim back with normal terms and it is very difficult to run a business with NO CREDIT. Thanks KLENDA, NOT!
Finally other attorneys have reviewed his pleadings-law suit written drafts to the court- and have called them "INCOMPETENT", "childish", "Moronic", and have said, "well no wonder you didn't even get off first base..."
SETTLING THE DEBT TO HIM- YOU WILL NEED AN ATTORNEY TO DEAL WITH YOUR HIM AS YOUR ATTORNEY!!!!!!!!!!!
WITH THIS GUY, OMG WHAT A NIGHTMARE. VERY UNREASONABLE DEMANDS 130K, NOW WITH INTEREST BE SETTLED UPON IN A WEEK WHILE i'm working full time no time to go to wire funds when I have a 3 day work week before banks close and a I already have a full schedule. I had to explain via text that my attorney for dealing with this guy, my former attorney, is out of town...Klenda WONT EVEN PICK UP THE PHONE TO DISCUSS A TIMEFRAME EVEN A FEW DAYS SO THAT I MAY EVEN PHYSICALLY GO TO THE BANK BETWEEN CLIENTS!!! WHAT A COMPLETE A**HOLE!
HONESTLY, don't even go in for a consultation. HE"S HORRIBLE to work with when things don't go his way. PAY IMMEDIATELY OR SUFFER
