About Kevin
Biography
After graduating from Emory University School of Law, Kevin established a reputation based on high-profile courtroom experience. During his first three years of practice, he successfully litigated several cases between large corporations as well as well-known individuals, including the representation of Paulette Holyfield in Evander Holyfield's first divorce. These significant early cases established the direction of Kevin's unique practice of complex litigation in more than 20 states over the past 35 years.
As a partner at Schulten Ward Turner & Weiss, LLP, Kevin has represented clients in complex business and commercial cases from coast-to-coast. His recent work includes numerous commercial property disputes with total disputed values of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a number of states. While his early career pitted him against well known defendants such as heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (Holyfield v. Holyfield), more recent work includes patent infringement cases in Chicago and Atlanta with potential impact on billions of dollars of international annual trade, and disputes which will impact who will ultimately lead the commercial development of Jekyll Island. He also represented over 150 witnesses in U.S. v. Kaplan, the infamous "Gold Club" trial, defended the $39,000,000 Nemnon v. Conti dispute in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the $78,000,000 case of Mitsubishi v. Cardinal Textiles. He defended the Cheetah in its successful dismissal of RICCO and other Claims and has numerous recent victories in Federal and State Courts in complex contract and fraud cases. He is currently defending a $176 Million fraud claim in Texas and handling many new issues for property owners, commercial tenants, investors, and businesses adapting to COVID-19 restrictions. He has testified in Georgia's congress about lending issues and his cases are frequently followed by the press. He is not afraid of high-profile clients, opponents or counsel.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY!!!!
He along with his colleague Ida are a great bait and switch! They led me to believe that I had a strong case and after sending numerous documents to them, they literally went ghost. I didn't hear anything else from them. It wasn't until months later that I reached out to Kevin where he admitted that ...
