Posted by Kenneth | February 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Can’t be thankful enough to have found Mr. Kamin

I can not go into specifics about the issues and reasoning for seeking representation, still in very early stage. Scott made time to meet me, not only did he make time, it was the very next day, a Saturday afternoon. The meeting was very entailed, many details, and very lengthy, much much longer than... any normal free consultation. Scott listened to every detail, he was concerned, very knowledgeable and explained in detail the complexity of my situation. Explain to me how and what he thought he would be able to do for me. He did not make huge promises that were clearly impossible to achieve. We discussed retainer, gave me time to think things over, an even still before I actually hired him, he still answered any questions I had. I made my decision retaining his representation and without a doubt, I know it was, the best decision. Scott is very straight forward...
