    Accidents are always a bad thing and I experienced one. I wish I lived in Virginia because this is who I would have represent me. Mr Mottley has been a God send with advice and just being there for me even though I’m in a different state. If you get in a wreck this is who you want on your side.

    Excellent Representation

    Posted by

    My family and I were very happy with the representation we recently received from The Mottley Law Firm and would highly recommend the firm to others. Kevin Mottley and his staff were very professional, courteous and sensitive to our legal matter. Mr. Mottley patiently guided and advised us through every step of the process and he and his staff were very accessible from our first meeting to the final resolution of our family's legal issue. Very satisfied with The Mottley Law Firm.

    I am pleased to offer my very highest recommendation of Kevin W. Mottley after his representation of an extremely complicated personal injury (i.e. MVA w/ TBI) case. Attorney Mottley agreed to take over my case after a disappointing and languishing experience with another lawyer. In short, my case was a complete mess, files in shambles, very little tangible work completed, facing rigorous federal court deadlines, and very likely dismissal given its current posture. Attorney Mottley and team quickly and efficiently reorganized and transformed the entire status of my case and most importantly, achieved a swift and very desirable result. Therefore, I am very pleased with the service, care, professionalism and overall experience that The Mottley Law Firm provided to me and am very pleased to offer my reference.

    Extremely Professional. Highly Recommended.

    Mr. Mottley recently handled what could have been an extremely stressful case for me against an educational institution. His organization and effective administration of the law as applied to the case led to a very prompt settlement and all desired results. He kept me informed through every step of the process, stayed in touch with me consistently, and was always attentive to my questions, thoughts, and anxieties. I highly recommend him.

    Kevin Mottley is a great lawyer!

    Kevin was a classmate of mine in law school and we recently had an opportunity to work together for our client who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury in a trucking accident. The case went to a jury trial in federal court and Kevin did a wonderful job. So, I endorse this lawyer completely.

    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Kevin and I have worked on several matters together, both while he was with his former firm and after he struck out on his own. I found him to be hard working, prepared, inventive and creative and an excellent trial counsel All of the matters Kevin handled were difficult and complex, but completely different. He excelled at all and obtained a favorable result for each client. When I have matters in his area, he is my first choice.

    Michael Barnsback, Litigation Attorney on Dec 17, 2012

He is tenacious and effective in the court room. I highly recommend him.
