Kevin Howard Willis

I hired Kevin to help represent me and my partner in two separate but related issues. Altogether we were doing business with him for a little over a year. I spoke to and had consultations with several other lawyers before choosing Kevin. In the one case, he helped drastically mitigate damages we ...knew we were facing in a small claims suit filed against us. We were never going to win but the costs were made manageable. In the separate case, we ended up settling for an amount in our favor that made this whole nightmare of a situation a win for all of us overall. He was professional and courteous, even when faced with a bullish and condescending opposing counsel. At all points in the case, Kevin helped clarify the language and ensured I knew what was happening before it happened. He had opportunities to enrich himself further, but instead took the honorable and integrous path to his own detriment. He cared that the result was good for his client and not just himself. It's too easy to criticize someone, anonymously, over the internet, especially from a position where you may not understand or even be aware of applicable law. Any potential client should sit down with multiple lawyers and see how they communicate with you. Make sure that you choose the right personality to represent your position. If you don't know how to communicate effectively with your lawyer about what your hopes/expectations are at each stage, then you're bound to be disappointed, regardless of outcome. You will be happy with your choice in Kevin, as long as you understand that when it comes to litigation, no party gets exactly the outcome they want.

This was a different lawyer experience than I've ever had in the past. I was Kevins client and found that he was not following through with what he said. An example...he told me he would file paperwork that day...as I wanted him to to....but then found that he changed his mind without consulting me... and decided to do something different on his own and did not file it like I requested. This was stretching things out with my case leading to more money being billed to me and my case than was necessary.
