Great Lawyer, Great Results

My call to David, turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. From my first visit with David, I knew I was getting an attorney who was very professional and caring. He explained what he could do for me in a very understandable conversation. My case was an older injury through two dif...ferent insurance companies so needless to say, they were not playing nice. David and his team did an excellent job and got my case resolved with the insurance companies agreeing to everything we had requested. I would recommend David and his team to anyone that is tired of fighting with unresponsive insurance companies when it comes to your workers comp medical claims. Thank You David. Kurt

Appropriately aggressive...

I consulted with, and ultimately hired Mr. Kempston to represent me in a workers compensation case against a local municipality. Mr. Kempston performed exceptionally well in all relevant areas: Client communication, clear explanation of expectations, courtroom performance etc. However, what impress...ed me the most about Mr. Kempston's style as an advocate, was his ability to zealously represent me as a client, without being disrespectful to any party. I sincerely believe that this rare ability was essential to the positive outcome and resolution that we eventually received. I highly recommend Mr. Kempston as a workers compensation attorney, and would hire him again without hesitation.

Great help

David was wonderful in keeping in touch with me. Any questions I ever have, have been answered within hours of me emailing him. David has always been great about making sure I understand what is going on and explaining every step of the work comp process. My case started just about three years, and I... hired David roughly two years ago. He has made sure my medical bills were taken care of and that the company was held liable to be in time with payments. He did a good job with making sure that the process of going through court was as smooth as possible. Overall, I have been extremely happy with David!

Above and Beyond

I had been injured on the job and wasn't receiving good advice from my work. I was struggling to get the care I need and to get my job to pay my medical bills after a certain point. David went above and beyond for me. He helped me step by step through the entire process, and we won our case. Thanks t...o David I now have a care plan in place so I can begin in the right direction to healing. David has got to be the most genuine, sincere person I have met and I would recommend him a thousand times over. Thank you so much for all your help!!

Worker's compensation injury

David was extremely helpful with explaining the worker's comp process. He was cordial, kind and supportive during our initial meeting and throughout the lengthy process. He always responded quickly to questions or concerns. He has a thorough understanding and without his expertise I would not have ga...ined a satisfactory outcome. I would recommend David without hesitation to anyone struggling with a worker's comp injury. My only regret was not contacting David earlier in the process. He's outstanding!!
