Workman’s Compensation

Dennis Kurz represented me in a very difficult Workman’s Compensation case. He made all the correct decisions concerning my case and I’m glad I put my trust in him. He made himself available to explain how we should handle specific issues. I would highly recommend him for representation with a Workma...n’s Compensation case!

Unreliable and incompetant

We hired this attorney to represent a case involving a real property issue. Although he was not the first in this case, he was presented with an expert witness & testimony w/ a confirmed amendment on one count, and was hired to locate another expert witness on a second count. Unfortunately his expert... witness failed to confirm as hired and as promised, thus becoming opinionated in his demo. Subsequently, the opposing counsel had filed a motion to have the said expert report and testimony removed from court record. The opposing counsel had been successful, in that Mr. Kurz had failed to address and/ or present the expert witness report on behalf of count one, thus leaving the presiding Judge with absolutely NO discovery. The case immediately went into a summary judgement and the case was lost! Mr. Kurz argued and attempted to convince us that that the Judge was stupid and knew absolutely nothing about construction and real property issues. Our neighbor happens to be married to an associate Judge from the same court. When we discussed our matter to him and another counsel, that because Mr. Kurz never addressed unto the court about the count one witness, and the fact that his secondary witness could not support the case with an opinion, the Judge had no other choice but to allow Summary Judgment against our case with prejudice. Mr. Kurz still maintains that it's all the Judge's fault. How convenient for him to say. Regards, JB

Lack of Understanding of Fiduciary Duty to Client and Attorney / Client Privilege

I used this attorney in a civil suit against Nissan on a breach of warranty claim. He later left the firm without any notification to me whatsoever, and then during a hearing it came to light that he had violated the attorney client privilege by leaking an e-mail to the defense counsel with false sta...tements regarding my case. The e-mail was admitted in evidence which can be found on Pacer in my case, and caused the judge to make a ruling granting my settlement awards (which had already been won and was being held in the court registry) to the opposing counsel in the amount of $16,500. Why he did this, no one knows. In spite of multiple efforts to contact him by certified mail, he has yet to respond, and my case was ruled on in September 2013. He not only cost me my settlement award, but he also very possibly compromised our appeal. He violated not only his fiduciary duties to me but also the client / attorney privilege.

Tactful and professional...Just the right touch :)

I'm writing this review for my sister. Dennis handled her divorce and I cannot tell you much tact in dealing with certain subjects meant to my sister and I, who had me in on almost every meeting with him. Dennis promised he would do something and he did it. He constantly assured my sister that she... did not have to deal with her ex any more in any regard and, due to the situation, he had to confront very potentially embarrassing details for her, as certain specific acts of his infidelity directly impacted upon her case. He handled each aspect of her case promptly and explained "the legal system" to us in a way we could really understand. I'm glad to have been there for my sister, but also really glad she found exactly the right lawyer to handle her case at a very difficult time for her. A+

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Public Reprimand issued in GA, 2022

updated on 02/10/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
