Outstanding Representation and Exceptional Guidance

From start to finish, Kevin Black Jr. provided expert representation for my son and achieved the best possible outcome we could have hoped for. Throughout the entire process, Kevin guided us with professionalism, compassion, and deep legal knowledge. We always felt informed, prepared, and confident t...hat we were doing everything we could to support my son’s case. What stood out most was Kevin's ability to explain every step clearly and set realistic expectations—yet the final result still exceeded what we thought possible. Kevin truly went above and beyond, and we’re incredibly grateful for his dedication and expertise. I highly recommend Lawyer Kevin Black Jr. to anyone seeking a lawyer who combines skill, honesty, and care. Kevin made a very difficult situation far more manageable and delivered an outcome better than we imagined. I would rate Kevin a 10/10. He was available and responsive. As a parent, I can relay in this review that Kevin conveyed and performed as though he understood and respected how important this matter was for us to resolve favorably for our young son.

Kevin Black Jr

We hired Kevin for our son’s case. We were very impressed by his professionalism, knowledge and efficiency. We felt confident and reassured throughout the whole process. He knew exactly what was needed to have the positive outcome that we had. He answered every email and phone call promptly. He a...lso spent time, after the case was over, to encourage our son which we found very caring. We can not recommend Kevin enough.

Excellent attorney

Kevin Black Jr. provided excellent legal representation on a criminal matter in the CT courts over the span of 6 months. He was available by phone or email anytime we had questions and we met with him several times for court proceedings. He explained everything in terms we could understand and couns...eled us on our options. Kevin also effectively coordinated with other professionals involved in the case. He secured a favorable outcome for us. Kevin is smart, energetic and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Kevin for criminal matters in Connecticut.

Helpful, professional, and great communication

I contacted Kevin Black Jr. after receiving a mailer from his law firm stating that they can help with a recent issue came into. From the get-go, he was willing to answer any questions upfront, outlines my options, and was in constant communication. Quick responses to emails, texts, and calls. He put... me at ease and I had an outcome that resulted in my favor.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Kevin Black, Jr. (or KBJ as I call him) when he was still in law school and he became one of the competitors I coached in appellate law competitions. KBJ immediately stood out as someone who has tough skin, is incredibly good at learning, and in representing people. He remains the only person who has never cried under my coaching. KBJ is a born fighter with a strong intellect and just the right amount of charm and wise guy streak. I have seen him in action, and we regularly pick each other's brains behind the scenes. I have entrusted him with defending me from attacks on my law license, and, as a fellow criminal defense attorney, he's one of very few people who I would entrust with my life."

"If you want passion, intelligence, and thoroughness, look no further. Kevin Black Jr. is top-notch. It's impossible to know every single aspect of the law, and Attorney Black is not afraid of what he does not know. He takes every new question as an opportunity to dive into research head first to give his clients the best representation possible. I endorse him fully."
