Motorcycle accident
Mr. Sullivan was very responsive and clear from the beginning of the process. I was involved in a motorcycle accident. Mr. Sullivan helped me with my case and made sure to get me as much money as possible. Thank you again Mr. Sullivan!

Excellent Lawyer, Highly Recommended
In 2022, Kevin helped me resolve a $23K debt collection. He made the process easy and responded promptly to any calls or emails I had. Highly Recommended!

Quick win!
Kevin helped me get a case dismissed quickly. I was being sued for an auto accident that I wasn't involved in, but making the other attorneys understand the fairly complicated circumstances could have been challenging. Kevin did so without needing to go to court. He was easy to correspond with, and we did everything via calls and emails. His rates were reasonable, which was important since the lawsuit was for a relatively small amount of damages anyway.

Positive Experience re: Debt Collections
Kevin Sullivan was very helpful in legally representing me in settlement of a debt collections summons. He explained things in detail and was prompt in his responses, as well as reaching a settlement with the plaintiff for half(!) of the original demanded amount. Highly recommend Kevin!

Superb Lawyer who is honest and cares.
Caring, honesty, and understanding were the traits I wanted in a lawyer to help with my debt settlement case. I retained Kevin Sullivan to guide, advise and represent me- he provided top-notch service that exceeded my expectations. From the initial phone call, Kevin was honest with me and very sympathetic to my situation. His advice and recommendations resonated with me and made me feel comfortable with having him represent me. Kevin informed me every step of the way as he negotiated and ultimately settled my situation to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Kevin--a knowledgeable lawyer with a good heart!

Highly recommend Kevin!
I was referred to Kevin Sullivan from work. Kevin is courteous, professional and quick to respond. He helped me with a debt consolidation case and was able to resolve it quickly and for a fraction of what I owed. I appreciate that he was upfront and honest with his legal capabilities in setting my expectations accordingly. I would highly recommend family and friends for any legal services with Kevin.

Just the Best
Kevin was extremely kind and reassuring during my legal needs. He's understanding, down to earth and overall a really great guy. His legal skills match that of his personality, well educated and versed in all things related to debt collection. I couldn't recommend him more.

Great Down To Earth Lawyer!
I needed help with a debt I was unable to pay. Kevin explained to me my options, got a fair settlement from the creditor, and was great with his communication to me!

Kevin will lift the weight off your shoulders & more
Kevin Sullivan is a 5 star lawyer. I was being sued by one of the Big banks for a past credit card debt. I still remember the day that I was “served” the lawsuit at my home, it was one of the most stressful moments of my life. But when I got on the phone with Kevin, that stress left me, I knew I was going to be taken cared of. Immediately after our first call I sent the papers to have him hired. In the midst of this pandemic, he went above and beyond. He even cut my debt in half, he is simply amazing. Great communicator, always prompt and letting me know where we are throughout the process. This is a man I trust. And to those that are reading this, take a deep breath, you are going to be okay, Kevin will be on it.

One of the best don't look any further - Thank you!
I am so glad I met Kevin Sullivan. He was able to reduce my debt collect collector from an insurance claim to more than 50% of principal. He is honest and not like other lawyers who are looking for a money grab. My debt was settled within a couple weeks and he kept me updated on the progress. Very happy on the outcome, thanks again!

ALL STAR CALIBER
Kevin called me within a few minutes of my inquiry and stayed very touch throughout the process. He immediately took control of the debt collectors who were harassing me. Kevin was able to get my debt reduced by 50% saving me over 10k. If you want someone is trustworthy, dependable, goes above and beyond the call of duty look no further. Use Kevin Sullivan you wont be disappointed!
