Dog bite

Jacob helped us when our daughter was bit by a dog. He made it so easy and made our daughter feel very comfortable. He got all of our medical bills paid in a timely manner and also got more for her emotional suffering. I would highly recommend him.

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.

AMAZING

He was great. Very professional and help with every step of the way,in the case for my minor child car accident case. Alway kept in contact to see how he was doing and letting me know how & what was going on and what was next. Didn't back down or accept the 1st offer with insurance company & kept fi...ghting for what he believes was fair for what my son went through. Thanks again.

Automobile Accident

I would highly recommend Atty Kempowski. He was knowledgeable, very responsive to my questions and concerns, and worked hard to get me the best settlement possible. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would not hesitate to call him for any future personal injury concerns. He kept me informed... throughout the process and I never had a problem reaching him when I needed to speak to him personally. I really appreciated that I never had to wait for his response.

Do yourself a favor... Hire this guy!

Jacob Kempowski was fantastic to work with, He was persistent in fighting my case and always kept me in the loop. I was hesitating to hire a lawyer but I am so glad I did. Jacob did a great job fighting to get me what I deserved. He also is just a cool guy who really cares about his clients. At ...one point I was so frustrated I was tempted to just settle. Jacob reminded me how this accident cost me a job, a head injury and months of misery. He kept fighting for me when I wanted to give up. I'm so glad i hired him. With out his expertise I never would have been able to leave this car accident behind me. I would have lost so much money. He was the best. Plain and simple.
