Scott Gross, Criminal defense Attorney on May 26, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I had the opportunity to work with Kevin on a major criminal matter. We worked together to get the best possible result for our clients. Kevin's attention to detail and ability to evaluate case issues is top notch. I highly endorse Kevin Kearon.
David Abeshouse, Criminal defense Attorney on May 9, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I am pleased to recommend Kevin Kearon most highly and without reservation, for all matters having to do with criminal defense law, ranging from white collar crime to basic DWI. Over his three decades of law practice, Kevin has developed a stellar reputation among his colleagues and clients alike, as well as the judiciary, for his insightful approaches to cases, his attention to his clients, and his courtroom skills (not to mention his inimitable and engaging personality). Kevin and his Nassau County-based law firm represent individuals and corporations facing actual or potential criminal charges, over a wide range of matters, defending everything from various types of fraud to homicide to DWI to narcotics to you-name-it. If you or someone you care about is in jeopardy of criminal prosecution, you couldn’t do better than to seek counsel and legal representation from Kevin Kearon.
Neil Ackerman, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 11, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I recommend Kevin unreservedly. I had known Kevin as a Criminal Defense and DUI/DWI attorney before for many years, and was aware of how sharp, intelligent, and astute he was, but recently, I had the chance to see Kevin "up close", in action. Kevin dealt with an impossible case, and got the best possible result that could have been dreamed of. Kevin attended to the client's matter, not just on a professional level, but on a personal basis. His actions and advice to the client, and unrelenting followups with the client and the Court, not only resulted in the client's avoiding the severe consequences which I expected would result from the client's actions, but caused the client to change his behavior and life. It was a privilege to see Kevin in action.
