The best lawyer in Twin City

I hired David Kempston to help out with my mother's issue at her work. David is a great and honest lawyer, he always work on time and organize the detail of the case. I am very confident with David to handle my case from the beginning. I would recommend David for handling any case.

Very pleased!

I couldn't be happier. Mr. Kepston was very thourough and explained everything very well. He kept me advised as to the status of my case at all times, answered my questions promptly and was very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Wise, Trustworthy, Dependable

I am more than pleased to recommend David Kemptson as a Workers Compensation Lawyer. David is very knowledgable about the Work Comp system and he is able to visualize your case from beginning to end. He understands the barriers that will come in the way and how to mitigate these from the start. I ...appreciated that David was always honest. I never questioned if my best interest was in mind, as he has a high level of integrity. David was always realistic in how he presented the steps and possible outcomes of my case. He never exaggerated or inflated ideas through emotion. He works to make sure that all aspects of your case are covered to bring you to the best possible out come. It gave me peace to know that I could trust him to handle the details of my case that were stressful to me, but could be handled with confidence and wisdom through him. I cannot recommend David Kempston enough. Through the duration of my case David was easily accessible by phone and email, he worked hard to answer my questions and was always on top of the next steps needed to keep my case moving forward. I suggest you meet with David and share your case with him. He will be honest with you on the possible outcomes of your case and I believe you will recognize his wisdom and integrity from the moment you meet him.

Exceptional

David was such a pleasure to work with. We had been recommended by a family friend to seek legal guidance on a claim that we had been working through as a result of an injury. The entire situation before meeting with David was stressful and completely new to us – we didn’t know how anything work...ed or what we needed to do. After our first meeting with David my husband and I both felt relieved to know we have someone who is confident in the work he does, understands the laws on both sides of the parties and had our best interests in mind. There was never a time where we did not feel as if David was doing all he could do to make sure we were treated fairly and that every aspect of our situation was looked at. The amount of details and work he and his team did on our behalf made this process for us simply stress free! He was also very clear and honest in his communications to us throughout the entire process and was always reachable whether it be through telephone call or email – we always knew we would get a response back within a timely manner. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for attorney services. He again provided us with a stress free experience, great service and a positive outcome.

Excellent

David is very knowledgeable and professional and helped me to feel confident that my case was in good hands from the start. His communication is fantastic and he always replied to messages very promptly. Even though it seemed like a long process, I know that my case moved along as quickly as it possi...bly could. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for attorney services.
