I wholeheartedly endorse Kurt. He is a true counselor and advisor to his clients. He is an approachable person who fights aggressively for his clients. I would recommend that anyone in need of a lawyer pick up the phone and call Kurt and see for themselves.

I have witnessed him have great success with family law divorce and custody cases, and I know he has achieved phenomenal compensation for personal injury clients.
