Excellent Customer Service
Probably the best attorney I encountered in my entire life. He genuinely cared about me and what I had to say. He was very patient to listen to what was taking place in my life and in a very considerate way gave me the best possible advice. He doesn’t have the “all business mentality” – he actually takes his time to understand your situation. He treated me with respect and a lot of professionalism. I would highly recommend Lowell without any hesitation.

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.

Committed Excellence
I Hired Lowell in 2012 to pursue a federal workplace case involving sexual orientation and lack of title VII coverage. Lowell embraced the merits of this case as a personal challenge and we worked together seamlessly. Lowell was always accessible, easy to talk with, and made me feel like I was his most important client whenever we spoke. Lowell is sharp, and highly motivated. It is unlikely my case would have had the same outcome with out Lowell's skill. I give Lowell my highest accolade in the handling of my case and the best possible recommendation for anyone seeking legal counsel. David H Baldwin

An Attorney you can count on.
A couple of years ago Mr. Kuvin handled a case where I was involved along with many others, with an abusive restaurant chain in the city of Miami. The case took a little more than a year to be resolved, and was resolved favorably to me, and all the other employees involved in the complaint. Mr Kuvin handled himself and the case in a very professional matter. Since that case ended I have recommended him to a few people and he has performed in a satisfactory manner every time. Mr Kuvin Is a great professional and I recommend him with confidence to anyone in need of legal representation.

Thank 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.

Review for Lowell Kuvin
I really appreciate the care and attention that Lowell gave to me during my case. Everything was handled via mail and e-mail and all of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Lowell is my go-to recommendation if friends need help in Miami.
Response from Lowell Kuvin May 24, 2016
Thank you Laura. As you know, we handle cases throughout the entire state of Florida.

Mr. Kuvin helped me on several cases involving employment law that I was was handling for several clients. Having been in the restaurant business himself prior to attending law school, he has extensive experience with all matters related to restaurant law, including tip pooling, tip credits, surcharges, etc. I would definitely recommend him to those who may have questions regarding their pay and/or compensation. As a boutique law firm, he is attentive and quickly responds to telephone calls and emails.

"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."
