Exceptional Service

Mr. Mottley responded to our call promptly and was very professional. He was thorough and provided us with legal advice we needed for probating in another state. Mr. Mottley was very professional and I would absolutely retain his services if we were probating in VA. I would recommend and refer M...r. Kevin Mottley to friends and family. Thank you Mr. Mottley for all your help!

Kevin Mottley has provided an excellent service

Kevin Mottley has provided an excellent advice related to traffic accident injury and strategy to pursue settlement. I highly recommend his services.

Posted by Randy Darnell | November 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Highly Recommended!

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 w...as 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 t...he process, stayed in touch with me consistently, and was always attentive to my questions, thoughts, and anxieties. I highly recommend him.

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.
