I had a great experience working with Robert and Gloria. Robert is a highly experienced family lawyer, a skilled listener with a clear understanding of the bigger picture. He delivered my vision with high quality and in a timely manner, managing all aspects with professionalism and attention to detail.

His approach is thoughtful and professional, and he demonstrates his expertise in a unique and effective way. I would highly recommend Robert.

My experience with Robert through my separation and divorce was great. He was available at most hours as I needed (even slightly outside business hours on one occasion), answers to questions were available easily via email, and the turnaround time to finish the paperwork needed was fast enough that I actually needed to wait for my spouse's lawyer to finish their end even though I consulted Robert after her appointments.

Robert is friendly and professional and I understand he has been practising family law for quite some time, and it shows.

Robert Klassen is both an exemplary person and lawyer. I began working with Robert after being referred to him by a close friend and will only use his professional service in the future due to his complete expertise, particular courtesy and his ability to work through difficult and stressful situations. Before meeting with Robert, I was unsure of my options, felt extremely anxious and was having difficultly knowing what next steps to take in a very challenging marital separation. Robert listened carefully, presented all of the options and made sure that I was taking the right steps to encountering financial and personal success. This process empowered me and through it I was able to stand up for myself, knowing my rights and responsibilities. I strongly recommend Robert to anyone searching for a family lawyer.

Back in 2001 I knew my marriage was unsalvageable. As I moved forward to dissolution, I reflected on some friends and family members having gone through their divorce proceedings and I knew that I did not want the standard divorce, or the emotional and financial hardship that seemed to accompany that type of process. I wanted a fair, equitable, and amicable separation and divorce and did not know if that could be achieved. However, I did find someone to help me realize my goals. Robert was a very calm presence in our meetings with my ex partner and his representation. . His delivery was gentle as he guided us through some tough realities. He was knowledgeable about the laws and very patient in explaining particulars to me so I could make my own informed decisions. He never rushed a decision but, allowed for time to aid me in the process. I felt empowered. He facilitated movement and growth during our meetings and promoted resolution. He took time to redirect and refocus us as we navigated the choppy waters of divorce. I believe he helped the process along so we could achieve the best possible outcome for ourselves and our children Now, all these years later, I am back renegotiating with my ex partner once again all in the best interests of our children. Thank you Robert for opening up conversations that lead to resolution!

Robert took my separation situation and made it much easier to handle. His expertise enabled me to efficiently solve issues I was concerned about, as well as ensuring that issues I hadn't even thought about were handled. He was continually focused on ensuring that the process led to the best results regarding my daughter's well-being. Throughout the entire process I felt that my separation was handled professionally and with the utmost care. He was also very reasonable with issues such as payment, which was beneficial for me as I was experiencing a tough time financially. Robert took me and my ex, during the worst of our issues, through an incredibly difficult time and lead us out to the other side. If you have children I would recommend him before anyone else. He continually kept the focus on ensuring that we were prioritizing our parental responsibilities before any petty disputes that popped up. He was very understanding about the blended family situation we presented to him.

From the moment I walked into Robert Klassen's Home Office I felt comfortable. On my separation/divorce case, even though somewhat unique he was able to sort it out quickly and made it easy for me to understand, then guided me into the appropriate direction. Robert is a good listener. He is a caring Lawyer and an expert in family law, as well as a Mediator. If you are looking for a true professional, I can recommend without reservations Robert Klassen as your Lawyer.

Robert was professional and extremely helpful in a tough case with FMEP (Family Maintenance Enforcement Program) and my husband's ex-wife. He suggested offering a settlement which was accepted and saved us going to court which would have been very costly. Through mediation he helped my husband and his ex wife move toward an agreed settlement which was both difficult and emotional. My husband was very impressed at how Robert handled strong emotions during the meetings. He calmly and gracefully listened but kept things on track and made helpful suggestions, always moving towards the goal of settlement. Although I had to stay out of the proceedings, Robert always updated both my husband and myself. We are so very thankful to Robert for assisting us with this so we can move ahead in our new life together. He has over 30 years experience in family law and can save costly litigation by offering mediation instead. I highly recommend him!
