TOP NOTCH LAWYER WHO CARES

In my case, I was hit by a car while walking in a parking lot. Suffered severe damage to my wrist which required surgery and placement of a metal brace. Ken was recommended by a friend and that was my good luck. You know immediately that he really cares. We saw this through to a very satisfactory end....

If you want the very best

Ken Curtis actually became my attorney by default when the first attorney I consulted became ill. At first I admit I was a little leary, but he soon put my fears to rest. He was very professional, questioning me until he had covered all aspects of my personal injury claim. After reviewing the infor...mation I had given him, he personally went to the site of my injury and took pictures of where the incident occurred, interviewed all witnesses, and contacted the companies involved for pertinent information. He was always available to answer any questions I had and kept me fully apprized on the ongoing aspects of the case. He prepared me for what to expect at the deposition so that I felt fullly comfortable. with the process. When the attorney for the opposition continued to make assumptions that were incorrect, he clarified her misconception and we we able to proceed with the deposition without further misunderstandings. On his advice, we rejected their first offer and subsequently settled for a much higher amount. Even after the case was closed, when I needed advice for my daughter on another matter outside his area of expertise, he consulted other attorneys and was able to recommend some one who was able to help her. Would I recommend Mr. Curtis to s friend with a personal injury claim? Most definitely! In fact, I already have! On a personsal level, when he found out that I needed a Stem Cell transplant, both he and his wife offered to be tested to see if they were compatible donors. I found Mr. Curtis to be highly competent and knowledgeable and a warm and compassionate person.

Highly effective and personableby

Mr. Curtis represented me on three different occasions, all with exemplary support and excellent results. One case involved a credit card misuse that resulted in a large financial claim against my opponent. Another case demonstrated his incredible negotiation skills by obtaining a favorable outcome... after an automobile accident where I was the insured party. And finally, he was incredibly knowledgeable in resolving a traffic violation issue. In all cases he got favorable results and I am so grateful that Mr. Curtis was willing to represent me. He has incredible experience, highly appreciates the nuances of law, and is absolutely thorough in getting the facts right, questioning data, searching out parties, paying attention to the slightest changes, especially getting everything right about the other side. There wont be surprises once his well-thought out strategy is implemented. He will travel great distance to meet the opposition and he and his staff attend all hearings. He masterfully conducted all my court proceedings, and obtained favorable outcome in all my cases. He was most helpful and understood how the stress of each incident affected me and my family. His explanations and patient explanations made the process palatable. I have nothing but gratitude for him and his endeavors and I shall remember his kindness always.

An Outstanding Attorney

I would like to explain my association with my excellent attorney Ken Curtis who represented me in a personal injury case. I knew absolutely nothing about personal injury cases, but knew I needed an attorney. Mr. Curtis was recommended to me because of his knowledge of the law and his ability t...o help me with the difficulties I was about to go through. When I first met Mr. Curtis, I was impressed by his intelligence and experience. My case took almost 5 years to settle and during that time, Mr. Curtis had a complete understanding and knowledge of the issues regarding my case. I was impressed by his thoroughness and degree of preparation in order to prepare for witness depositions and the gathering of any and all documents and facts regarding my injury. He took great care in preparing me with questions and he instructed me how I should conduct myself during mediations and/or trial. My case was a difficult one and yet I always felt comfortable that Mr. Curtis was going to take care of me and my family understanding the effect that my case had on everyone in my personal life. I had many questions over the years. Even though Mr. Curtis had a number of clients, he always had time to answer my questions fully and to listen to my suggestions. Mr. Curtis always had my best interests at heart. I didn't realize the thousands of pages and the degree of preparation needed in order to go to court. I hope never to go through a lawsuit again, but if I ever do need a practicing attorney again for an injury case, I would have absolutely no trouble asking Ken Curtis to represent me. Sincerely; Keith R J

Great Attorney!

Ken represented me in a personal injury suit where I was hit by another driver. I was pretty badly hurt. Ken understood my medical problems and helped me cope with the whole process. He was extremely well prepared all the way through and was a firm but fair negotiator. We ended up with an excelle...nt settlement before the trial. I can't say thank you enough or recommend him more highly.
