Auto Accident

Jake and I were patient in our mission and our strategy was secretively clever. We always communicated in a timely fashion, and we approached this whole situation as a team. The Accident log I wrote for Jake gave him a better understanding of what I suffered through. Some of our favorite sayings were... as follows: "Patience is a virtue." "First we will study the opposition and look for their weakness." "Let them feel the heat and we will never give away our hand until needed." Jake and I are a great team and we only compromised when it suit our interests. On a Star Trek theme that Jake and I talked about. We handled this whole situation as very talented Starship Captains. In the end. We were victorious and our starships brought the opposition to their knees. If I ever unfortunately have another mission like this again? I will be sure to call Jake. My fellow Starship Captain. Spock would be very impressed! Live long and prosper.

Knowledgable and trustworthy

Atty Kempowsi is honest and knowledgable. He was very upfront when I first contacted him: he thought I was mostly going to be at fault for my auto accident. However, he truly listened to me and my recollection of the events. He trusted me when I said I did not believe I was 100% at fault, even th...ough the law swayed against me. He promised to review the accident report. His research and dedication to "a stranger who just happened to call his office for advice" was remarkable! He discovered a lot in that accident report that lead to me receiving a very good outcome. Atty Kempowski and his staff are diligent and sincerely cared about my family and our injuries. I am so thankful to them.

Great Outcome

Mr. Kempowski was very helpful and encouraging. Stayed with the case the whole time even though it took a while and had a better outcome than what I was expecting. Highly recommend him!

kempowski welsch review

Mr. Kempowski was very professional and friendly through my whole ordeal. He kept in constant contact with me from beginning to the end. In the state I was in I could not do anything and Mr. Kempowski made sure I didn't have to lift a finger. I would highly recommend him and if anything were to happe...n again he would be the first I would contact.
