Great Lawyer

First off, he’s super nice. I was calmed down immediately when talking to him the first time. Kevin knew exactly what would happen in my sons case and explained everything. I felt so much better after we spoke. Best thing we ever did was hire him. Unfortunately this wasn’t our first time in juve...nile court but the first attorney seemed like he didn’t care that much. Kevin was very different and spent time explaining everything even before we hired him. He was the best! He is the best!

Best lawyer in juvenile court

This is by far the best lawyer in juvenile court he can do the unbelievable 5 stars all around I will never go to anyone else

Posted by Cameron | July 12, 2018 | Juvenile

Great advice and very easy to speak with

I was having a very hard time trying to determine if I could seal my juvenile record. I called many attorneys of whom wouldn't even answer 1 question over the phone without a consultation. My experience contacting Kevin was completely opposite. He was nice, professional, didn't beat around the bush a...nd was glad to take a few moments to answer my questions and give some legal guidance. If you need an attorney specializing in this field, I would recommend you call Kevin first.

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.
