Exceptional Lawyer

I am beginning my review by stating that if you are in search of a professional, competent, conscientious, compassionate lawyer, then Kevin Tallant is most assuredly that person. When I found myself in need of legal assistance to obtain guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt, who suffered from pr...ogressive dementia, I researched among community members to find the best legal representative for myself. I determined that Kevin Tallant, who had the reputation as an exceptional lawyer with expertise in probate law, was the lawyer for my needs. After working with Kevin for more than two years to acquire and manage the guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt and, later, after her passing, to settle her estate, I can attest to the fact that he is an exceptional lawyer and human being. He ( and his very supportive staff ) were always an email or phone call away to provide me with legal advice, guidance and, in some instances, moral support. With Kevin's counsel, all probate court processes went extremely smoothly, which reduced my stress during this sometimes overwhelming life experience. Kevin kept me informed of court proceedings, updates and discussed legal options with me on a continuous basis. I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this period in my life without Kevin's valuable assistance. I would recommend Kevin to anyone treading through the complex, frustrating waters of the legal system.

Excellent Trial Lawyer

Kevin did a masterful job of defending us in a lawsuit that could have cost us ten of thousands of dollars. We won a jury verdict which compensated us for our losses plus ALL our attorney fees, which is pretty much unheard of. We would highly recommend him to anyone involved in litigation, whethe...r they are a plaintiff or defendant involved in a lawsuit.

"It is my high honor to recommend Kevin. I first knew of Kevin through my brother, who attended Forsyth Central High School with him. Even then, Kevin had a reputation as an extremely smart student and a hard worker on the athletic field. Later, after we had both finished law school, Kevin and I both wound up practicing in Cumming, Georgia. We would routinely refer cases to each other, and I always knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kevin would provide unparalleled service those whom I had given his name. As a testament to that sentiment, many of the clients I referred to Kevin over a decade ago are still with him today. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to practice under the same roof with Kevin as a result of the merger of our two firms in 2010. He is undoubtedly one of the brightest attorneys I know, and his dedication to his clients is of the highest degree. I would without hesitation recommend Kevin to any of my personal fr"
