At the law firm of Klausner, Kaufman, Jensen & Levinson, a Partnership of Professional Associations, we devote our practice exclusively to the representation of retirement and benefit systems and related labor and employment relations matters. Today, we are among the most highly regarded firms in North America in the increasingly crucial area of pension issues.

As a major player on the national level in public employee retirement matters, we often call upon a comprehensive research system capable of accessing virtually all relevant legislation at the federal level and across the 50 states. In so doing, we are able to monitor – and in some cases anticipate – changing trends in the law to a degree that most general practitioners would consider a luxury to be funded by their clients. To us, it’s simply part of being a responsible and pro-active advocate.

In addition, we frequently furnish state and local governments throughout the United States with background information on many of the newest and most complex issues involving public retirement systems. No matter how much proficiency we develop, though, our relationship with those we represent can still be summed up in one sentence: As important as it is to know the laws, it is even more important to know our clients.

We are experienced lenders who have cultivated the expertise and relationships necessary to help deliver results to our partners.

Our Mission: Putting Clients First.

When we founded our privately held national advisory firm in 2006, our top priority was to keep the client at the center of everything we do and that mission continues today under CEO Marty Bicknell's leadership.

We have built our firm around what our clients need. We began by offering wealth planning resources and then added services from tax planning to insurance, all under one roof. We believe this integrated approach to wealth management helps simplify our clients' lives.

Our client-first approach is carried out by our wealth advisors in offices across the country. Because our teams, including individual and business, tax planning and preparation, estate planning, trust services, investment management, personal insurance solutions, Mariner Institutional and specialized business services are in-house, we can provide clients with a coordinated, customized experience.
