Customer review: I am Executive Director of a non profit organization. Mr. Kappes and his subordinates were able to expertly handle some litigation issues and business contract issues in a very professional and timely manner. I felt very secure working with them. Highly competent. They understood my position and guided me through a process with which I was wholly unfamiliar. I would not hesitate to return to them for similar work.

  • I recommend Kurt Kappes.

  • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

Customer review: Kurt represents the firm I worked for as VP of Human Resources. Kurt and his firm represented us in labor issues, mostly arbitrations, policy and HR compliance challenges.
Kurt was easy to work with, kept in touch, provided us with excellent legal advice, and was honest with us about the legal outcome of our cases. He would respond quickly to questions and always provided me with great legal advice. If he wasn't sure about an issue, he would research it and get back to me with information that was reviewed by other peers in employment issues. Legal deadlines were always met.
In pursuing our best interests, Kurt used his legal and technical skills in combination with his personable character to be very effective working with employees and union attorneys alike. He resolved several potential court cases, all in our favor.
I would highly recommend Kurt and his law firm to anyone looking for a highly qualified and effective labor relations attorney.

Customer review: Kurt is one of the most responsive lawyers I have ever worked with. He constantly checks emails and phone messages, and returns messages promptly. I have been very impressed with how Kurt grasps new issues quickly. He did a wonderful job suggesting options for resolving issues as well as laying out possible outcomes of cases. He doesn't have a problem recommending that a client work with a different attorney in the firm if that fit the client's needs better. Having an honest, straightforward, smart lawyer is very important to me. Kurt is that lawyer.

Customer review: I worked with Kurt for several years while I was in charge of litigation at a large company. I worked with dozens of law firms throughout the United States and have first hand experience as to what makes a good outside lawyer. Kurt was excellent from a substantive standpoing, but perhaps as important, he was accessible, responsive and communicated regularly.
It is very rare to find a lawyer who has Kurt's ability to meet client needs and show tremedous loyalty. I would absolutely recommend Kurt for any type of litigation or insurance coverage issues.

Customer review: Kurt is very easy to work with. He's a caring and concerned advocate who gives sound, practical advice and keeps you well informed. He is at least as competent as other very good attorneys I have worked with and those that my company and I have retained for legal services over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend Kurt for any legal matter within his realm of expertise.
