When I first retained Ken, he reviewed my case and told me it would be very easy. He assured me that helping me obtain more parenting time with my children would be a priority. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. After months with no progress, I repeatedly asked for updates, but my calls and ...

Posted by Sarah | April 12, 2022 | Hired Attorney
I hired Ken for what was looking to be a simple and strait forward divorce. He is sharp, knowledgeable and personable. He came highly recommended and has exceeded my expectations. My situation turned stressful and chaotic with some very unexpected curve balls. Quick, smart and decisive actions needed...
"I highly endorse this attorney. Ken is the kind of guy who you are always happy to run into outside of the courtroom because he is friendly and approachable. But, as an adversary, he is a real tough cookie. In any case, Ken is most likely the attorney who worked the hardest and the results he gets for his clients tend to show it. Ken is also a leader among lawyers, donating his time to various areas of professional improvement. From time to time, I have called on Ken for advice on how to handle difficult family law matters and he has always been willing to lend me a helping hand. I highly recommend Ken for any family law matter and I think he is especially talented at handling difficult and complicated cases."
