Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Kevin is one of the best attorneys I've encountered. He obviously takes his clients interests to heart.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Kevin for a couple years in the same office. After that I have seen him around in the courts quite a bit over the past seven or so years. The two words that come to my mind when I think of Kevin Polis are fierce and fair. Kevin never compromises the quality of his work when representing a client, but he also always looks for the fair and reasonable solution in his cases.

I endorse this lawyer. Kevin has always conducted representation of his clients with thoroughness, competence and professional civility. I have direct experience with him as opposing counsel. I would not hesitate to refer a client to him.
