About Richard

Richard C. Klein is Chairman of Cooper Levenson’s Family Law Practice Group. He handles all aspects of family law, including divorce and separation, civil union disputes, child custody, divorce and children with special needs, parenting time, alimony, distribution of assets, and domestic violence, among many others.

Practice Highlights

Richard works out of the firm’s Cherry Hill, Trenton, and Atlantic City offices, but serves clients throughout New Jersey.  His practice is exclusively dedicated to family law, and, as a result, he is able to provide guidance and counsel through nuanced family law-related issues, such as: the growing demand for family court input, how to approach allegations of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse within the context of visitation and custody, services relating to parental alienation and children resistance to visitation, and cases involving children with special needs.  Richard’s experience in complex family law enables him to treat each matter individually, analyzing the specific needs of the client and any child(ren) involved, while always seeking long term, stable results.

His expertise and willingness to fight for his clients has attracted media attention.  Because of Richard’s expertise in family law, he has acted as a legal resource and legal analyst for the media on many occasions, appearing on:

    ABC’s Good Morning America         
    World News Tonight
    CNN’s Sonya Live
    BBC’s Moneyline
    WHYY’s Radio Times
    CN8’s It’s Your Call with Lynn Doyle

He has also been quoted and profiled extensively in local and national newspapers on basic family law issues, and because of his involvement in landmark custody cases, second-hand smoking cases, and issues concerning Internet relationships.
