The Kay Law Group is committed to tenant's rights. It's principal Kevin Kay leads a team that always gets maximum value for clients because they never back down from a landlord. Whether it is a cash for keys negotiation, preliminary injunction, eviction after foreclosure, or full blown jury trial, tenants can always count on the Kay Law Group for the best results with a personal touch.

20%
Criminal Defense 5%

The Kay Law Group believes that there are only two kinds of criminal defense lawyers: trial lawyers and incompetent lawyers. While very few cases are decided by a jury, having an attorney with a reputation for trying cases will get you a better result every time.

DUI and DWI 5%

DUI representation is complex because it involves asserting your rights not only in criminal court but also at the DMV. You need competent, aggressive representation in both venues in order to preserve your liberty and your driving privilege. Even a good criminal defense lawyer without specific DUI experience can put you at a disadvantage.

Amazing Experience

Kevin is an outstanding lawyer. He is very professional, extremely knowledgable, kind and understanding. Kevin always responded to us with our concerns. From start to finish our case only took approximately two months. And thanks to Kevin we were victorious with an outstanding outcome. Besides him be...ing a highly recommended lawyer. He is a great human being. We are very thankful we chose him and honestly have nothing bad to say. We recommend him to anyone going through legal issues.

Worth all the stars in the sky - Best Lawyer!

Kevin first and foremost is a SMART man, I would not want to be on the other side of Kevin Kay, because he knows how to win and I mean win. Legal complexity, uncompromising parties, difficult research, do not seem to even fluster him, he thrives in it, he fights hard, all while keeping a calm composu...re. Every skill a lawyer should have, Kevin presented, and a high degree of that skill. Trust is the number one attribute Kevin shows and delivers, I felt so comfortable with him. He took me on during a tough time, spent countless time getting back to me promptly, dealing with issues that arose, and getting me positive results, when he was constantly faced with a difficult party. I truly would always want him on my legal side. Super impressed by this PRO.

Excellent protection and personalized, dedicated service

I am a tenant who went through one of the most horrible and intense Bad Landlord situations I think I have ever heard of, and attorneys Kevin Kay and Erick Munoz, both of The Kay Law Group, admitted they had never seen a case so strange or so disturbing. Both Mr. Kay and Mr. Munoz raced against ...the clock to help me, and gave me and this case fantastic attention. They were appropriately aggressive towards the landlord and with his well-known, attack-dog type of lawyer, and they protected me throughout what became a convoluted and grueling case. Both Mr. Munoz and Mr. Kay not only shipwrecked the landlord's unlawful detainer attempt, and got me out of that terrible situation with no eviction on my record, they won me a handsome settlement. Exceptional attorneys and extremely good at what they do. If you find yourself in a bad rental situation, particularly if the landlord becomes aggressive, these are the attorneys to call. I fully, completely recommend them. They were my legal saviors. Thank you, gentlemen, if you read this.

Delivered What He Promised

Kevin and his team got a great result but it was the customer service and passion that make him easy to recommend. He really cares about his clients and keeps in touch. THANK YOU

Great Experience - Highly Recommend!

I tried to handle my tenant issue on my own without success . After several months of getting nowhere, I contacted Kevin to explain my situation. Kevin listened to every detail and truly cared about my issue. I had many questions throughout the process and he always made himself available to answer... and keep me up to speed with my case. I greatly appreciated his thoroughness and candor. In the end, we resolved the issue without even having to go to court. I was very happy with his services and now my living situation is great.
