There can't be better out there

My friend and I were involved in a car accident in Jan 2021- a man ran through a stop sign as we were going 65 mph, causing us to tbone him. He was at fault. I was airlifted to a GB hospital. My son had passed away at college 5 weeks before, so I was not prepared to deal with any of it. Kevin and his... staff were patient, guided me, encouraged me even when I was ready to give up, because I just couldn't handle anything at that time in my life. I ended up getting the most I could get , and I am so happy that I went to him in the first place. Although I'm sure they had much bigger cases than mine, they made me feel like a priority.

Litigation for a motorcycle/SUV accident

Kevin facilitated the negotiations for a realistic settlement. Laurel and Kevin were very helpful whenever we had questions, taking the time to answer them fully and following up with written explanations when appropriate .

Great Communications and Easy to Work With

Kevin as his associates (team) were great to work with. Through the whole process, they kept me up to date on things and had great communications. Although it was a longer time frame that we worked together, I was pleased with the results in the end. They were very helpful and friendly at all time...s.

Gave Dylan Justice

Kevin and his team gave us something that the county justice system couldn't - justice for my son Dylan. Kevin gave us compassion, hope, and understanding. We finally had someone who was going to fight for us. Kevin was very knowledgeable and very professional. He did what we wanted without any p...ressure. I would recommend Kevin and his team of professionals without a doubt. He was our light in our darkest hour.

Avvo Rating

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.
