Entrepreneur - business contracts

Finally found the need to set up proper contracts for my business and found Kevin the perfect match to do the work. Efficient, caring, and he listens. I'm glad to have found him.

Great lawyer. Kevin McDowell is the "bulldog" of justice

I am pleased to recommend Mr. McDowell as an attorney. He has represented me on several matters, and he has consistently been successful in obtaining outstanding results. Kevin is relentless for the truth. A very diligent lawyer.

Best Labor Attorney Out There!

For the past several years and in most recent times, our company has used Mr. Kevin McDowell for all employment related issues and/or concerns. We are very confident that our cases are handled efficiently, professionally and on top of the priority list. Mr. McDowell is a very professional individual ...and an expert in his field. We strongly recommend the Law Offices of Kevin McDowell for any employer-employee legal representation.

Great Performance

Kevin represented me in a civil lawsuit that had been brought against me. He did a very good job of explaining the whole process and answering all of my questions. Then after he started to work on the case, Kevin was successful in getting the case against me dismissed within about two months. Based u...pon his superior performance in handling my matter, I am confident in recommending him.

Litigation lawyer | Mar 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. McDowell was the opposing counsel in a matter with three parties. The third attorney was a bombastic, bellicose and disrespectful. It was a relief to work with a professional who zealously advocates for his client, but is not a jerk about. I easily endorse Mr. McDowell without a moments hesitation."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"It is my distinct honor to endorse this lawyer. Kevin is truly the entire package when it comes to attorneys, excelling at each of the important areas of attorneys' s abilities. Kevin's legal research and writing skills are outstanding, as his writing is succinct, persuasive and creative. His verbal advocacy abilities are remarkable -- in his presentations, Kevin comes across as very earnest in his arguments, highly intelligent in the points that he is addressing and likable -- a quality that cannot be taught, but that Kevin clearly has. Kevin also never loses sight of the needs of his clients, always working to find the best result possible for them, tailoring his strategies to the clients' goals and providing unwavering support for his clients during the stresses that can crop up during litigation."

  • 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.
