"I have known Kevin for meany years. We've been opposing counsel in lawsuits, served togetehr in professional activities and I've mediated cases Kevin has been involved in as an advocate. Kevin is an excellent lawyer with substantial knowledge in construction and commercial litigation. He's a skilled trial lawyer and advocate. Kevin has always exhibited a high degree of professionalism in all of his dealings with me."

If I had a legal problem involving litigation, he'd be my attorney."
