Business contracts

We engage the services of Kinsel Law regularly for contract reviews. Both Bill and his assistant Lori are professional, thorough and kind.

Excellent Attorney

Bill represented me in a business fraud case. He and his assistant Lori were patient and compassionate through what was a terrible time as my faith in right and wrong and justice collided with the reality of litigation. They handled my case with care and a high degree of ethical standards. I've had... experiences with other attorneys and none compare. I grew fond of them throughout our ordeal and consider them friends. I have the utmost respect for them and what they do.

An Outstanding Choice!

I met Bill through connection to a group complaint founded in basic corporate legal issues, and was immediately impressed. He guided us through each phase expertly, in several instances actually instructing opposing counsel, and led us to timely, extremely successful resolution of our case. He pres...sed authoritatively and professionally when necessary, while being appropriately conciliatory at times. Bill understands the legal nuances for any new facet of his cases- and we are thankful for it! Most difficult is how to narrow down top three attributes to capture Bill and his capabilities- they ALL fit! Perhaps the best way is suggested by his own LinkedIn description. He's been named several times as "Super Lawyer"... add to that "super person". I cannot recommend Bill highly enough!

Excellent litigator

Mr. Kinsel has handled approximately 20 litigation matters for me and he always does excellent work. His exensive background in commercial litigation, combined with his sharp legal mind and great business judgment, have made him a highly effective and efficient outside legal resource for my company.
