Great Lawyer

Dave is a very genuine gentlemen that makes you feel relaxed,comfortable and not rushed each time you meet, feels like your his only client! I had to do my part of getting info just as Dave and his staff had to request documents like drs.notes, therapy notes, send out forms to be signed, set up he...arings and meetings, then organize all information. Let me stress that you need to LISTEN attentively too what expert advise Dave has to offer. He's tried numerous cases, so he's been around the block more then once. Most of all you can trust Dave. When he says he'll get back to you,he does, whether by phone call or text or sometimes by his staff. He keeps you updated on what's happening with your case. I believe Dave is an excellent lawyer and you won't be disappointed. I give him a two thumbs up!

The BEST lawyer you could ever ask for

David was recommended to me by a work friend to represent me with a work related injury. He is a very knowledgeable skilled lawyer. He is trustworthy, a person of integrity. He always speaks truth and are extremely responsive to any question that I sent his way pertaining my case. From the initial c...onsultation to signing the settlement paper, he helped me every step of way! Thank you so much, David! I would highly recommend Mr. David Kempston to anyone who needs legal representation for their work related injuries!

with faith and understanding, believing in you as a person, we have a friend for life.........David has your back

I had zero expectations when I decided to get help, other than the medical field that is. dealing with pressing back and leg pain and being sleep deprived for years, 27 that is, I needed legal help! I was referred to David Kempston in 2011. Since that first phone call, I knew I had made a solid choic...e hiring him to represent my case, and what a load it's been. David is attentive and compassionate, he explains everything and keeps your sprit alive. my wife and I never thought we would be in this situation, but now we have a life long friend because it. Thanks David, and to your wonderful staff as well!

Great Attorney

David is incredibly organized, helpful, & timely in all matters of my case. He took the time to explain things & ensured that I understood the legal language in lamens terms. He made me feel like I had his attention, & that he truly cared about the outcome of my injury first, & that my thoughts & fee...lings were validated before any legal conversations were had by phone or email. I'm thankful that I was referred to him & appreciated his time & effort put into my case.

Review for David Kempston

David has been my work comp attorney for years. He has got surgery approved for me that I needed for a back injury. He also represented me to obtain a settlement for my injury. He also helped with getting me connected with a disability attorney to apply for disability benefits. I would highly recomm...end David. With out David representing me I don't think work comp would have approved many of the medical things I have needed for my injury.
