Sr Claims Representative

Mr. Hulslander is an excellent attorney, litigator and communicator who is well versed in the law and achieves excellent success in the files he handles. I would strongly recommend his use to any party.

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 causatio...n's. Kevin is one of the best defense attorneys that I have worked with in the last 25 years.

Sr. Litigation Specialist

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 tr...ial. 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!

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.
