Posted by Mike | September 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Very professional and cares for his clients

Kevin and his team are very professional and took great care in handling my case. He helped me every step of the way. His fee is very reasonable. He was easily reached for any questions I had and is an expert in his law advice. He knew how things would pan out before they did and told me all the ...possible outcomes. What was most appealing was his ability to ease my mind as this stressful situation played out. In the end, not only did he get my case resolved quickly but he also got it expunged. I HIGHLY recommend Kevin and his team.

Posted by anonymous | August 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Life changing family lawyer!

Child custody cases can be emotionally draining and a fearful place for many who find themselves having to fight for their rights as a parent. Kevin helped my family establish joint custody and regular visitation in a pretty volatile co-parenting relationship. When I first sought out to tackle these ...issues in court, I didn’t know what to expect. There were times when I had to trust Kevin’s opinion despite my own and thank god I did! He is very knowledgeable and left to my own devices, I would have never been able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time. Kevin provided me with a great impression in court when I may not have been able to advocate for me and my childeren with such poise given the emotional nature of my case. When I met Kevin I was a father with no legal rights, who was not given the opportunity to have regular visitation with my children despite my efforts. I now see my children all the time! Kevin has helped me be a father again, and has given me confidence when standing up for my rights following a new court order. I will also say that Kevin is very fair with his pricing. My case definitely required extra attention and became a bit chaotic at times. He was fair with pricing for numerous phone calls, email, etc. He could have taken advantage of my situation but he didn’t. All that said, I couldn’t put a price on what Kevin has done for me. My children are happier and healthier as a result of having regular contact with their father. That is priceless and I will be forever grateful for his help.

Kevin Hagan

Kevin did an outstanding job representing my son who was stopped by the police on his way home from visiting a college in Rhode Island. Being from Massachusetts we did not know any attorneys in Rhode Island. After looking for an attorney online, I called Kevin after 5 PM, he answered the phone and ...told me what he could do regarding my sons situation. In a matter of a few weeks the issue was resolved and I'm more than satisfied. If you have kids in college in Rhode Island, you need to know Kevin. Great attorney, fees are more than fair and he does what he says he'll do. I'm very, very pleased with his work.

Hit and run trouble

Kevin helped my son get out of a hit and run traffic issue this spring. He helped us on short notice and he put us at ease from the very first conversation. I highly recommend Kevin for his knowledge, follow up and contacts in the courthouse. Thank you so much, Kevin!
