Posted by Angela C. | December 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Professional. Knowledgeable. Thorough.

I hired Kevin Dietz to close out a temporary order and modify child support. Immediately upon discussing my case, Kevin was professional, knowledgeable and kind. Upon hiring him he made me feel at ease and understood that my emotions were involved. He provided me with the information I needed to make... the best decision concerning my case. He was available when I contacted him and informed me of times that he may be unavailable. I am very thankful to him for his patience, honesty and knowledge in his field. I would definitely recommend him and will hire him again if needed.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Kevin has been a frequent opposing counsel of mine, and has a level of patience and common sense that is often missing in family law. He's an excellent advocate for his clients in the courtroom while still maintaining professional relationships with other attorneys in the legal community."

Mediation lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Kevin worked on a difficult case involving property and heirship issues, the case went to mediation, and later on we dealt with the ancillary issues that came up. Kevin was professional and looked at the interests of the parties so that the case could move forward."

  • 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.
