Highly recommended

I was able to find Ken through Avvo so I am writing this review to help someone in my situation. Ken is definitely very knowledgeable and was responsive to all my questions. He is well respected by his colleagues in court. He made sure that my requests with respect to settlement were well understood ...and tried his best to secure them for me. He is highly punctual and professional and I never had to wait to get his attention. Overall I highly recommend him to anyone with property settlement or custody issues.

All around Excellent!

Ken came highly recommend to me and I was not disappointed he was professional, thorough, and very timely. Ken worked in a very fast and efficient manner. Kept me informed through the entire process of my case and was VERY easily reached and accessible. Unless he was with another client or in court K...en responded backed to me in a very timely manner, less than 24 hours and in most cases much sooner than that. I highly recommend his services, he pushes hard for his clients to reach the best settlement legally possible for his clients! You will NOT be dissapointed. One think I did forget to mention his legal fees are very fair and reasonable as well, Ken does try to keep in mind to work efficiently on you case while keeping in mind of the cost to his client and fiscally responsible with his clients money.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
