Kevin is the "bulldog" of defense attorneys!
I have been working with Kevin for about 10-15 years. He always takes an aggressive approach to his defense work. He is also very professional and respectful and is able to provide the best defense to an insured in any situation. Kevin thinks outside the box in regards to defenses and injury causation's. Kevin is one of the best defense attorneys that I have worked with in the last 25 years.

Kevin is awesome. He answers his phone, responds to emails, has a great sense of value of cases, knows when plaintiffs are full of S&%*, and is an aggressive attorney who knows what the hell is going on with the cases at all times. He is a must use if you want your cases settled early or prior to trial. If you want a trial lawyer, he is your guy also. 5 Star can't miss! No wonder why he is a top 100 attorney!
