Calm, cool and firm

Kevin is one of the best attorneys in Dallas hands-down. Don’t let his calm and mellow demeanor fool you. He has a way of surprising the opposing attorney in a methodical, firm way to drive his point home. I was beyond impressed and grateful for his zealous advocacy of me (and with the result I neede...d).

Contact Kevin Ross if you want an exceptional lawyer and experience.

Simply said, Kevin is a true professional. He asked all the pertinent questions, carefully listened and in no time consulted me not only what to do but as importantly explained the “why”. Very grateful for Kevin’s work.

Top notch Lawyer

Mr Ross is a top notch lawyer. He took on my son's case, and led us through uncharted territory with calmness and confidence. His portal and communication was constant and set us at ease, all with a successful result! I would recommend him to everyone!

Lazy, doesn’t respond

Had him for a possible writ. He sent several emails to law enforcement, prosecutor, precious lawyer to get evidence. No one had it, so he shrugged his shoulders and said we “did all we could”, for an actors $15k we can file a writ and subpoena the evidence. When we saved up the money, we called and m...essaged and never heard back. Waste of money

Replied last August 15, 2019

I am sorry that you feel you had a bad experience with my firm reviewing your case for a writ. We seek to gather the information needed to make a determination of what we think is possible to pursue. Generally speaking, writs are very difficult and often do not result in the relief clients hope for. I cannot and won't go into all the details of the writ investigation process or the matter online. I always seek to be as fair to the client and their expectations as possible. I wish you the best in any future pursuit of your case. If there is anything you need from me to that end, please call or email me. Thanks.

Very effective

Kevin is very sharp and effective. He dug into the details to understand all the specifics of my case and is thorough in mapping out and evaluating the options at each key decision point. Ultimately, it's the results that matter and Kevin was clear and compelling in his communication of the facts of ...my case to the DA and secure a dismissal. With Kevin, I felt well represented and will hire him again if the need arises.

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.
