Mr Eric Klein

I am a trial lawyer with a boutique practice that helps people. My Firm concentrates in family law – Divorce, Paternity, Custody, and Prenuptial Agreements – consumer bankruptcy and real estate law, Foreclosure Defense and other real estate litigation - we have a title agency, engage in short sale negotiations --- I have highly skilled attorneys in each area --- we work together as a team. We help our Clients navigate a difficult, challenging, often uncertain process and assist them in achieving the best possible results. What’s unique about my practice is that I can assist people in all aspects of their personal and financial troubles from aggressively pursuing a divorce, to defending a foreclosure, short selling a property, bankruptcy and assisting them in rebuilding their credit. Unlike most law firms, we offer all of these services under one roof.

Q. I received a letter about an unlawful detainer but i'm not too sure what it means.

April 27, 2022

A: Think of an unlawful detainer as an eviction. An unlawful detainer action is brought against someone living on the premises where there is or was a relationship between the person who owns or rents the property and the person that they are in a relationship with. It could be a boyfriend/girlfriend, brother/sister, etc. Based on your narrative, this person cannot simply change the locks and put your clothes on the street. This person must go through the legal process, that is file a lawsuit with the court to have you removed from the premises or, as you may understand it, evicted from the premises. I wish you luck.

Q. How does a judge decide who gets the house when you get a divorce?

February 25, 2022

A: The judge would simply order the house sold and have the realized funds distributed equitably. Good luck.

Q. Married 8 yrs living in S Florida would my husband be entitled to my 401K/savings?

February 15, 2022

A: To answer your question directly, yes. But only to that part that accumulated during the marriage. Take a look at the balance of the account on the date of your marriage and the balance today. Subtract the two. If you were to file for divorce today, he would be entitled to 1/2 of the appreciated value. For example: Married on 2/14/2014: 401(k) was $50,000. Filed for Divorce 2/14/22: 401(k) is $100,000. The appreciated value during the marriage is $50,000. He would be entitled to 1/2 of the appreciation or $25,000. I hope this was not too complicated. Good luck!
