Great attorney.

Mr. Kay is an attorney like no other. I had his personal cell phone number even and our first consultation (free) was literally two hours long. He walked through every possible scenario and we talked through every "what if" and worst case scenario. He charged a flat fee for his service, which I wa...s a little concerned about, thinking communication would be limited after he sold himself to me, but it was quite the opposite. Even when I was out of town, Mr. Kay would do a video chat! Communication was great. It seemed he was very respected within the courtroom and had a good rapport with other attorneys and respectful to everyone from the security guard at entrances to the bailiff, to the judge and to me at all times. I would advise that he is quite a bit more expensive than the other attorneys I talked to for the free consult, but the end result in the form of great communication, which equaled peace of mind, was worth the extra money. I have some additional legal work to do in the next year and I will, no doubt retain Mr. Kay for the same services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
