Background:
Mr. Kleven was raised in Southern California, and then spent several years living in various states while securing his education, before settling in Las Vegas, Nevada to practice law. His past legal experience is very diverse and includes him being a Communications Officer for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, doing prisoner litigation for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office, working as an associate attorney at both small and large law firms in Nevada, acting as a court appointed Arbitrator for Clark County District Court’s Mandatory Arbitration Program, and teaching law as an Adjunct Professor of Paralegal Studies at College of Southern Nevada.
Dale founded his current law firm under a different name in 2011, and re-branded as Relief Lawyers LLC in 2016. He has zealously and successfully represented the legal interests of over a thousand Nevadans – both businesses and individuals – in numerous areas of law. Currently, his areas of focus are Legal Malpractice, Personal Injury, Real Estate Litigation, Business Litigation, and Divorce Litigation.
Personal:
When not at the office, he enjoys working on classic cars, writing, playing racquetball, running, all beach activities, and spending time with his beautiful wife, his accomplished adult kids, and his precious grandchildren.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Meshia received her high school diploma from Cimarron- Memorial High School and went on to attend College of Southern Nevada for the Paralegal Associates Degree. Ms. Gray is currently attending court reporting school to become a certified stenographer. Meshia joined the Relief Lawyers team in January of 2023 where she put her legal knowledge to work and quickly moved up the ranks. The favorite part about her job is providing clients with relief from their worries. Outside of work, Meshia is the mother of three young girls that keep her on her toes! She enjoys spending time on home DIY projects and going on fitness walks as well as spending quality time with family and friends.
Daniel’s introduction to the legal practice defied the conventional approach. His academic accomplishments earned him one of ten prestigious full scholarships to William S. Boyd School of Law without taking the entry exam. Working through school as a bail agent, he developed uniquely practical skills in negotiation, friendly resolution of disputes, and demonstrated mettle in the face of confrontation.
After passing the bar exam on his first attempt, Daniel jumped into first-chair litigation while under contract as a public defender in Henderson, Nevada. Dozens of his criminal cases were dismissed due to his vigorous application of the law in evidentiary hearings and refusal to accept offers which were less than fair for his clients. As a civil attorney, Daniel led his own department at a well known personal injury firm and was responsible for coordinating expert witness testimony on complex medical issues for a revolving caseload of more than 200 plaintiffs.
Now under the Relief Lawyers banner, Daniel offers hands-on representation for clients who have been intentionally harmed in matters of business and personal well-being. His extensive knowledge in the presentation of evidence helps plaintiffs understand the evolution and value of their case, which often involves sensitive personal topics and safe handling of confidential information.
