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.

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.

It was a pleasure to work with David. He was very honest, professional, and thorough. Whenever I had a question, he was very accessible, responsive and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend David as a workers compensation attorney - he provided outstanding service and results for me. I ...will definitely use him again if my needs arise.

Thorough and Informative

David was great to work with. He made the process as least painful as a work comp case could be. He explained everything clearly and there were never any surprises or stressful situations that came up.

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!
