Great Lawyer

Kurt is one of the most responsive lawyers I have ever worked with. He constantly checks emails and phone messages, and returns messages promptly. I have been very impressed with how Kurt grasps new issues quickly. He did a wonderful job suggesting options for resolving issues as well as laying out p...ossible outcomes of cases. He doesn't have a problem recommending that a client work with a different attorney in the firm if that fit the client's needs better. Having an honest, straightforward, smart lawyer is very important to me. Kurt is that lawyer.

Wonderful job!

Overall Mr. Kappes did an excellent job. He was very trustworthy and the response times to questions were very timely. He is very informed and knowledgeable in legal matter, and always kept me informed with the most up to date information. He did an amazing job and I would definitely use him again if... the need arises.
