Excellent - If your looking for peace of mind

My husband and I began our case with another attorney who, after two years, realized that perhaps he was in over his head as far as his working knowledge of our case-specific law. The time with that attorney proved to be a time of confusion, miscommunication and misinformation. Once Todd took over ...our case, everything changed. Todd and his team explained everything to us. They seemed to understand what a huge undertaking this was for our family and thus treated us like we mattered. They all took the time to keep us up to date every single step of the way and we never felt lost or confused. Todd knows his stuff. He saved us time and money and guided us to the financial peace we now enjoy. We would not hesitate to use his firm for any and all legal matters in the future. He is an attorney who takes his job seriously and won't let you down when it comes to being in the know about current law, which in our case, saved us thousands and lifted a huge burden knowing we were in capable hands.

Great experience, trustworthy, knowledgable and provided options - Would definitely use again & recommend to anyone!

After an extremely bad experience with KEL, Todd Budgen took over our case and recommended a better approach for our situation. He explained to us that it was a 50/50 chance, but at least we knew upfront what we were getting in to. We are extremely happy to say that our case was successful! Thank ...you to Todd Budgen and his assistants.
