This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great results , Thanks

My daughter was charged with DWI and other tickets , I called DWI Tom and Kevin took the case . We were very happy with the outcome as the charge was reduced and tickets dismissed . I doubt most lawyers would have worked so hard to achieve the best outcome considering her BAC . Great Lawyer ...THANKS... .

One of the best

After getting into some trouble at a prison he definitely helped and got me one of the best deals. Kevin is a respectful and friendly person who tries to get you the best outcomes.

impressive and tenacious

Attorney Prue was so caring and so kind while assisting me through my court proceedings. He was also organized and timely, and if it wasn't for his guidance, I would likely still be dealing with the courts, the financial burdens, and my ex! Thanks to Attorney Prue- I am now unburdened. Thank you, K...evin.

Outstanding Service with Excellent Results

We hired Kevin to handle my son's speeding ticket violation, he did an excellent job reducing the charges , which in turn allowed my son to keep his license ,Would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
