I really wanted to give him a better mark

Kevin started out strong but quickly withered extremely fast. He was not capable of handling an opposing high conflict divorce attorney that had less experience than him. He couldn't negotiate with her of influence the Court to follow basic custody guidelines in divorce cases. He was ill-prepared ...with details to present to a court during a conference call. Kevin also let a motion go into default by not responding on time which eventually had an extremely negative affect on my son's time with me. I want to give him a fair rating because he was able to help me file for divorce but everything went downhill fast and he could not offer solutions to balance out any conflict or legal issue.

Replied last January 02, 2016

No one has expressed dissatisfaction to me of anything near the magnitude of this complaint. I do not know who this person is but I doubt if this person was ever a client of mine. It looks like there may be some other motive at work here. Perhaps the opposing party of one of my current or former clients. It goes against the usual level of satisfaction my clients typically express to me.

A man of his word

I used Mr. Cavanaugh for a recent traffic court action. He made it clear the disadvantages of "going it alone", and I must say there was a lot less anxiety knowing a professional had my back. He was very good at keeping me informed. I always knew what was going on. We achieved a favorable outcome, a...nd I would likely use Mr Cavanaugh again if the need arises.

Peer Review

I have worked in the same office with Kevin, and have also worked with him on many of his domestic relations cases. Kevin maintains the highest ethical and work standards. He is always diligent, responsive to his clients' needs, and an excellent litigator. I would recommend Kevin without hesitatio...n.

peer review

I am an attorney in Olathe, Kansas. Kevin and I battled it out on a very difficult child custody matter a few years ago. Kevin took my client's deposition and fought valiantly for his client. He was as tough an adversary as I can remember battling with in a long time. He did an excellent job and ...I plan to refer business to him in the future. He is an excellent litigator and very intelligent and tireless.
