Experienced, Knowledgeable, Confident, and Trustworthy

Kevin Owen is a young Employment Law attorney with great skill, intelligence, and abilities. He is capable, competent, and kind. Kevin represented me on a Federal employment law case that spanned many years. During that time, he was always on top of the case and represented me well. He worked lon...g, hard hours for me and worked every weekend for weeks leading up to a trial. Although my case was settled out of court, everything was in place and well prepared for trial. In the end, he negotiated a settlement that we could accept while being spared the stress and distress of a trial. I am so grateful for Kevin’s assistance. His confidence and competence; his intelligence and insight; and his patience and kindness, and his high ethical and moral standards define and enable his ability to assist people struggling with legal issues.

Responsive and Assertive

I absolutely recommend Mr. Owen. I used him as my lawyer when my boss obtained false information about me from a co-worker and then accused me of misconduct. Mr. Owen represented me in responding to these allegations and got the employer to admit what they did was wrong. I truly believe he saved my ...job.

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.
