Kevin Michael Cortright, Attorney

Kevin came to visit me in the skilled nursing center after my accident. My husband and I decided to hire him shortly after the incident occurred. He hired all of the experts that he needed to make my case. Even though the other side was not helpful in this process, Kevin worked hard to get me the mo...ney that I needed to pay my bills and to help me to get better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Not a workmans comp. attorney by far.

What a joke kevin presents himself as having experience in workmans comp. I experienced first hand unfortunately that he does not. He didn't send in letters to doctors before examinations that were to detemine the cause of injury which is extremely important when I confronted him about it he gave me ...some lame excuse that he forgot it was so close to after another of my appointments it made no sense he gave me the runaround after he lost he lost my case for me he received the judge's decision and misinterpreted it he had informed I had won my case but actually he had lost not until his paralegal read it and informed him he had lost the case l called him and expressed my disappointmentand the coward quit I had to hire an attorney after he lost which wasn't easy to do as they explained I'm asking them to unring the bell he made so many mistakes there were issues he ignored that he said he would address in the judge's decision he mentioned the very things that he said that said he would bring up he was disliked by the judge he was very awkward in the judges presence and in the workmans comp. forum in general I was very fortunate that Dr Peter Shaffer in Riverside accepted my case and they appealed it and the judge's decision was overturned Charlene did an outstanding job. At a time that I'm injured not making ends meet ready to lose my home I can't feed my family I went into Kevins office to discuss what his game plan and he couldn't stop talking about how much money he just made on two injury cases He paid off bills paid cars off had money in the bank etc. etc. what a joke why would he tell me about his personal finances when I'm down and out and his doing he lacks tact and respect for his clients I noticed that his reviews are for bankruptcy pretty obvious that that is his specialty he should stick to it he cost me big time I had to settle my case for 20 percent of what it should have been settled for had he done is job So anyone considering using kevin as a workmans comp attorney please look around he is not good choice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
