Definately a pick for a lawyer to be disbarred!

I retained Kevin in 2010 for an employer employee case with a very high retainer.. He came out of the gates with what appeared to be a knowledgeable and a fierce litigator. With in weeks of retaining him the excuses began, and the mere fact that he disappeared with little to no response to any phone... calls, emails, text messages for nearly a year. With in that year court dates were missed and no updates of any litigation of progress.. Then the complete break down of this case resulting in a huge default 100% due to Kevin not showing up for court dates after numerous requests from the Cook County Court system. Then the lies began with supposed no knowledge on his part... Now after a year of disappearing, excuses and a Unbelievable default judgment Kevin was now engaged in the case and a whirlwind of attorneys fees that added up faster then anyone could imagine... Still defending that he had no idea of this default he was now defending it instead of getting to the root of the issue of why " We never had our day in court !!!!!" after an additional year of outrageous attorneys fees and more excuses I finally decide to fire him and go with new counsel too only find more issues that were a result of Kevin not properly representing me as a client. Please please please do your research and do it diligently before you make the same mistake I did.

Suspension / Probation issued in IL, 2016
