Kevin Morrison is fantastic!

Altair Law is incredible! I was referred to them after I was injured in a near-fatal accident, and even though it became clear fairly quickly that my case would not be a big money-maker, they still took me on as a client. Kevin Morrison and Noah Phillips, with assistance from Emily Hallinan, were w...ith me every step of the process. My case took place over the course of the COVID shutdown, and they kept me informed on how to proceed while the courts were closed, etc. They handled everything with such sensitivity, tact and diligence, and they were very straightforward and honest about presenting my options (i.e. whether to pursue a lawsuit, possible outcomes to expect). Once we chose a course of action, they handled everything so competently and professionally that I didn't have to worry about it at all, and I was free to devote my time and energy to healing and recovery. I have so much respect for the care they gave me and my case, even though it was clear from the start that it wouldn't bring in much of a settlement. At the end, they even reduced their rates so that I would receive a larger amount -- who does that???!!! Altair Law does that! After the settlement was finalized, we received one more late lien, for which I would have had to return a significant amount of the settlement, but Noah was successful in getting it dropped. Since Altair had previously deducted my payment, they essentially did this last part for free. They declined my offer to pay for their extra time. What? Yes, that's right! So I am a big fan of Altair Law, and I recommend them highly. Thank you, Altair!

We will always be grateful

My son was invovled in a motorcycle accident. He sustained a shearing brain injury along with injuries to every limb of his body. Prior to the accident my son was a police officer. My son had no memory of the accident. I had an acquantince,which happen to be a lawyer look into the accident. He fe...lt since my son had no memory of the accident, it would not be worth pursuing. Approximately 2 months prior to the statued of the case my son was reffered to Kevin Morrison in regards to his rights to remain a police officer. Unfortuatly my son had no rights, due to the fact the injuries were sustained on his day off. Kevin Morrison asked my son what happened in the accident. I sent Kevin Morrison the police report and after he reviewed it, he asked to take the case. It was the best decision, especially when my son would not beable to return to work. John Kevin Morrison lead with his instict and through his well prepared case, the truth came out that is was not my son's fault. A sixteen wheeler made a left turn in front of my son. It was shown that the chp officer wrote the report based on what he thought happened instead of true facts. There was a witness who saw the accident who stated my son did nothing wrong. Thanks to Kevin Morrison my son will be taken care of for the rest of his life. We will always be grateful.

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Morrison was very thorough in handling our case. He always kept us up to date on what was going on. Although we knew he had other cases to work on we always felt that he was giving ours his total attention when working with him on it. We were very satisfied with the outcome.
