About Kevin
Biography
The practice of law is about relationships. The main part of any relationship is listening and making the other person involved the most important person. Most of my cases are about individuals. Individuals accused of a crime. Individuals going through a divorce. Individials that have been injured. All of these events can be life altering. It is my solemn obligation to make them manageable. I fix things. It is what I do. I look forward to the challenge presented by each and every case I take. I am a father, a husband and a lawyer. I try and bring each of those roles to every case. I hope to hear from you.
