Nightmarish Experience

I retained Kevin Sullivan expecting competent criminal defense. What I received instead was total non-performance. Over the course of my representation, no meaningful discovery review was done, no strategic analysis was provided, and no serious negotiation with the prosecution occurred. I personal...ly organized and presented the discovery in my case, which was largely disregarded. Despite this, I was repeatedly told that achieving a reasonable outcome was “impossible.” Shortly thereafter, Mr. Sullivan withdrew from my case. Here’s the part that matters most: new counsel achieved the exact outcome I was seeking in under one week—an outcome Mr. Sullivan insisted could not be done. That contrast speaks for itself. I’ll say this carefully but honestly: perhaps Kevin Sullivan was a strong attorney 10–15 years ago, but based on my experience, he appears mentally checked out, disengaged, and unwilling to put in the work required today. The level of advocacy I received felt perfunctory at best. To make matters worse, despite minimal substantive work, my retainer was not promptly refunded, requiring further follow-up on my end. This experience was costly—not just financially, but in time, stress, and unnecessary uncertainty. If you are looking for an attorney who will actively engage with your case, thoroughly review discovery, and fight for outcomes rather than managing expectations downward, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This review is written so others don’t have to learn the hard way.

Horrible attorney

He took advantage of my grandmother - elderly woman. He charged her for a case he was not even hired for!

Possession of Alcohol

Kevin was courteous and professional. He met with us before trial and discussed our case. At the end of our meeting he said he could help us. Kevin called the day of the court hearing to tell us charges were dropped! Kevin did fantastic and surpassed any expectations I had. I highly recommend Kevin a...s he is THE expert in defending traffic related cases!

Professional. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Caring. The Right Choice.

Kevin was on my side from day 1. He set my expectations whether it be winning or losing my case. He was supportive. Excellent communication till the end. Was able to win a case against the ASA that has odds of 1/1000+ of winning. Kevin never gave up and went out of his way and above any of my exp...ectations of an attorney. He has earned my respect 1000x.
