This is the first review I have ever left but felt compelled to do so. Our son was accused by a relative of very serious acts. We looked for a juvenile attorney and called three different ones. Kevin called us back and advised us immediately on how to proceed. He spent 45 minutes with us on the p...hone just giving us advise and never said one word about legal fees until the end when I asked him. He said if our son got arrested we would cross that bridge. I was so impressed - it just seemed like he cares about our son and not the money. One other attorney never called back and the other wouldn't even talk to us without payment of some kind. Our son got arrested about a month later (Kevin talked to us 3-4 times during that month by the way). Obviously we paid him attorney fees after our son was arrested but it was the best money ever spent. Our son is at home and its definitely because of Kevin. Even in Court it's obvious judges think very highly of him. Super nice guy too - our son is shy and he felt comfortable with him immediately. Hire him - you can't go wrong.

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.
