About Kevin
Biography
I was born and raised in South Jordan, UT and that is where I live now. I worked in corporate America for nearly 10 years before I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an attorney. My family and I moved to Kansas in 2009 so I could attend law school. I get a great deal of satisfaction from interacting with my clients and helping them obtain the results they need. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing sports, cooking, and reading.

Found a great outcome with Kevin
I hired Kevin facing a serious crime, but where the State hadn't done its due diligence and didn't have all the information. Kevin did exactly the right thing, tactfully negotiated with a local prosecutor, and avoided a costly trial with serious repercussions. If you're looking for the best possible...
