Great lawyer and a nice person

I was impressed with David from my first contact with him. His expertise in the field of WC law shines through when conversing with him. He was always prompt in responding to my phone calls and emails. I felt well informed and up-to-date in what was happening in my case. If you are in need of a WC la...wyer, I highly recommend David Kempston.

Attentive, Experienced, & Gets the Job Done!

I hired David to represent me in my work comp claim after the insurance company stopped paying my benefits and stopped communicating with me. This all happened shorty after a TBI work injury. I was unaware of my rights, how to move forward in the legal process to secure benefits owed, and how to ma...nage doing so when my work injury made day-to-day tasks extraordinarily difficult. David made this process exceptionally easy for me explaining to me my rights, next steps, addressing all questions and concerns promptly, and doing all the legal leg-work so my time could be spent where it needed to be - on my recovery work for my injury. My trust in David to represent me in my work comp claim was well earned as his expertise, hard-work, and advocation for the needs of his client helped me secure the benefits I had been seeking. I am very thankful to have had him in my corner following my work injury and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to hire or even consult with a work comp attorney!

Honest Attorney

I received David's number from a friend. When I reached out to him originally he didn't want to take my case cause there was no need as I was getting all my benefit's, I thought to myself that's odd, cause everything google says about hiring an attorney right away and as my workers comp situation co...ntinued and I had questions I would email or call and he would steer me in the right direction, then when things hit the fan with workers comp, he took on my case, and he walked me through everything. That's what I liked the most he wasn't trying to get me to sign anything or try and make money if he didn't need to, he waited until the time when things went bad when he new he could really help me the most, he knows his stuff, and he took care of everything for me, I couldn't be happier, I would recommend him to anyone that's dealing with a workers comp issue...

Excellent

I called David very overwhelmed and worried about my case. By the time we were off the phone I felt a lot better and had hope that someone will be able to help. He took care of everything and kept me informed on the process and what the near future had planned. Saying David is smart and good at his j...ob is an understatement. David is highly recommended by me.
