Won at trial!

Kevin was my public defender on a DV charge. I really didn't want to have a public defender since they always tell you to take a cop but I had to deal with it since I was broke at the time due to Covid. I told him my side of the story and he surprised me by saying don't plead to this and take it all ...the way. I never had a trial before and it was way more stressful in real life, but he completely bullied my liar ex gf and the prosecutor. We got a not guilty verdict after the trial took all day. He needs to go private and get that money.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
