Excellent care
Mr. Kuvin was so easy to work with. He helped me when he didn't have to, and made me feel extremely confident in not only the case, but in his care. Both he, and his administrator were so attentive, I felt more like a friend than a client.

Replied last April 28, 2016Thank you for your recommendation. We work very hard to resolve every case with a favorable outcome for our clients. After working in the hospitality industry as a server and a restaurant manager, I know how hard people in the "industry" work for their wages/tips.

Lowell J Kuvin's Lawyer Endorsements
"It has been 10 years since I have known Attorney Lowell Kuvin. Whether it is at the prestigious Saint Thomas University School of Law or the courtrooms where Attorney Kuvin often makes appearances on behalf of his clients, Attorney Kuvin always impressed me by his sharp legal mind, a master understanding of the law, and zealous advocacy on behalf of his clients, especially in the areas of employment law and litigation. Attorney Kuvin cares about his clients and he is even more energized when the matter involves unlawful discrimination. Attorney Kuvin has worked on several complex cases in this area, some of them were cases of first impression, presenting new issues in the law or issues worth further merits consideration. In each of these cases, Attorney Kuvin performed brilliantly, ensuring his clients' rights are protected while also improving the law and setting new precedents. We are all better off because of his practice. I endorse Attorney Kuvin as a skilled and capable lawyer."
