Richard Klein

Mr. Klein’s practice includes business and personal injury litigation. Since 1980, he has successfully resolved business disputes for clients ranging from sole proprietors to corporations with sales in excess of a billion dollars.

Mr. Klein is an experienced and skilled trial lawyer, yet understands that litigation is not about fighting, but rather about achieving results. An extremely effective and creative negotiator who views problems from all sides, his goal is to resolve every business dispute as expediently and cost-effectively as possible.

Recent litigated matters include representation of an infomercial marketer in a lawsuit against a credit card processor resulting in a judgment for the infomercial marketer, representation of a world famous singer in the defense of a lawsuit brought by a concert promoter resulting in dismissal of the lawsuit, the defense of a bank CEO in a wrongful termination claim resulting in a dismissal, the defense of a French manufacturing company in a breach of contract suit by an American design company resulting in a substantial settlement in favor of our client, and representation of a theater operator in the defense of a lawsuit brought by an entertainment production company resulting in dismissal of the lawsuit.

Mr. Klein obtained his B.A. (Mathematics) from Northwestern University (Dean’s List of Distinction) in 1977 and his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1980. He has been admitted to practice in California since 1980 and is a resident of our Santa Monica office.
