Kevin Andrew Henry Shupperd

Hired Kevin a while back while he was working for another law firm. When he started his own company, he asked if we wanted to stay with him, and we agreed and separated from the other firm. At that time he informed me that our cost for the case would not exceed the retainer we paid him We have a cas...e that is still ongoing that is not a family law case. It wasn’t until he started his own company we started to notice a shift. Several calls would go out with fails on his end to return said calls. Then he would finally answer and state “oh hey I was just getting ready to call you”! Yeah ok. We went through months of stuff we had to do to get ready to go into calendar and right before we were supposed to go on calendar, he calls and says he made a mistake and forgot to have me go though a state evaluation that was required for this case. It set us back over a year. After we got everything done, once again it’s was a drawn out head ache. Countless unreturned phone calls. I finally asked if this had anything to do with our agreement of paid in full and he reassured me it wasn’t, however we were starting to feel that he had other better paying clients and we were put on the back burner. After we submitted a form we had been waiting for, he instructed us to drop it off to his location. I didn’t hear anything for several weeks and finally reached out yet again and he said he never received the paperwork I dropped off. He asked where we dropped it off at and I told him his front desk. He insisted I had the wrong office, however I’m quite sure it was the correct one as anyone knows his office it’s hard to confuse it with anyone else’s since his business cards are there, and his law firm name is not only at the door but also on the wall. The receptionist took my form and let me know he was in a meeting. I started to receive emails stating I owe money for services and I called to enquire about them. This was a little confusing since he mentioned when I came over to his law firm that he would handle the case without any additional fees. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a thing with him. I refused to pay it since he agreed to do the case and not exceed the retainer. At this point I had it. I asked for my file and told the lady at the counter that I was terminating him as our attorney. He never reached out by phone to discuss the matter, instead he sent me a very snarky email stating that I was in the wrong and he never once owned anything that he did wrong. It was all my fault. I responded to the email pointing out where he was wrong, and never received any response back. Now I’m out thousands of dollars that do not reflect the work he did. We contacted several other attorneys after this and all questioned Kevin’s handling of the case and didn’t understand why certain things weren’t done correctly. I would highly, highly, think twice before you retain his services.

This law firm is 9 times over priced for the value of their work. The assistant is very rude, the lawyer is not knowledgeable. In fact the judge ridiculed him for not submitting evidence in affidavit form. Which the judge pointed out is the only way you can in family court. He then went back on his f...lat fee contract and over charged for his errant work which delayed my custody case 4 months. I recommend you recommend this law firm to who you are going against.

Kevin has been my lawyer for many different cases now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even he helped with cases that I didn’t originally ask his help for, he took them on without any hesitation. His determination for what is right for his client is not a question. He will take his time out to h...elp with anything you ask of him. Most people say lawyers are sharks, well Kevin is a shark but with heart. I recommend him for anything, if he doesn’t have the information at hand, he will do all that he can for the information that is needed.
