Car accident personal injury.

I would like to start by thank my attorney Kia Champion for represent in my case. I must say Kia, you made everything so comfortable and your knowledge about this is very phenomenal. The professionalism is unbelievable. I was nervous about my accident because I didn’t know what to do and what route t...o take. Before hiring Kia to take over my case I had another attorney, the former attorney I had was running circles around me tell me one thing and doing another and just not being there being supportive. So my sister and my step brother told me about Kia, when I walked in his office I was welcome by everyone, and his law firm he showed concern. He explain how it works. The case is still going, but I’m satisfied with the services and I recommend 100%. He is a man of his word and s family, husband also father.. Well respected in this community, and the people that he work with far as medical attention, haves the upmost respect for him, that says a lot about person/attorney 10 out of 10. Don’t hesitate if you have any injury any criminal anything call Kia. Kia I’m so grateful for you. Thank you for help me out financially with my rent my bills understanding my situation. I’m so blessed to know you.

The best of the best

Attention to detail, responsiveness, assertiveness. Kia exemplifies so many strengths and desirable attributes in an attorney. Although this was a consultation, it was clear Kia is very knowledgeable and knows how to navigate a complicated, intimidating system. He was able to put me at ease and list...ened really well to my concerns. Highly recommend Kia Champion and his services.
