Great Lawyer

Mr. Kempston was excellent at returning calls and e mails! I feel as though he truly cared and fought hard for me! David and his office staff were always friendly and very helpful. The only regret I have is not asking him for help sooner.

Outstanding lawyer !

David Kempton was recommended to me by an attorney friend who stated that David was one of the top attorneys in the area for my kind of case and boy was he right ! He has taken my employer head on when they attempted to push me out of my claim. He is a fighter and not intimated by large corporations.... He himself or his office staff always take my calls and get me answers within hours of my asking.

Yes! Thorough, excellent, compassionate

If you are hiring a workers comp lawyer, something undesirable and stressful has happened. Having David Kempston represent me relieved that stress. He clearly stated the terms under which he would initiate a case. Once those terms were met he persevered in contacting every person that would be influe...ntial in our best outcome. David and his staff communicated clearly and in a timely manner. His office is far from my home, but that was inconsequential, don't let the zip code be your guide to your attorney. I felt listened to, cared for , and respected. I think the best way to express my gratitude and admiration for David Kempton's expertise and compassion is to just paste some of my email replies during the time our case was in his hands. Hi David, Praises for resolution! I also thank you and your staff for your excellent and compassionate work on our behalf. Very best regards, Barb David, Thank you for your excellent and compassionate work on our behalf. I also appreciate how you worked with our dear, loyal xxxxxx throughout this process. I am very grateful for the outcome and pleased to see that it will be resolved soon. I will be looking for guidance on the dollar amount each of them were awarded in the settlement. My sincerest gratitude, Can I give you a standing authorization to negotiate on our behalf? I trust your expertise. Hi David- no problem, I can see things are happening quickly. Contact me any time I can offer info. Glad you connected w xxxxx Ill send that note and look around for anything else that may be useful. Good weekend!

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.
