I highly recommend Kevin Habberfield

After I was told by other lawyers that I did not have a case, Kevin Habberfield from Black, Lyle and Habberfield believed that I did have a case. He told me that I had a difficult case, but he believed that I had a winnable case. Kevin was upfront and honest with me right from the beginning. He al...ways kept me notified throughout my entire case and he promptly returned my phone calls and emails whenever I had questions. He even came to my home to meet with me on a few occasions to accommodate my schedule. Kevin also has a great staff working alongside of him. I have spoke to several of them on the phone and they were all very knowledgeable and professional. Kevin has proved that he is a great lawyer by taking on my difficult case and obtaining a settlement in my favor. I would highly recommend Kevin Habberfield from Black, Lyle and Habberfield to anyone who is in need of a great lawyer.

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.
