Having gone to another firm, with zero results I was fortunate to find Kevan. Kevan has a complete understanding of the disability process,and was very professional and thorough which resulted in a positive outcome in my situation. I highly recommend Kevan.

Effective and Caring
Excellent, attentive, informative and supportive every step of the way. After two and a half years of denials after handling my own application and appeal, success!
"Minutes after meeting Kevan I could tell she was not only extremely knowledgeable about social security and disability law but also absolutely passionate about helping her clients. I would not hesitate to refer anyone her way!"
"Kevan is a great attorney who truly cares about her clients. She is thorough, very knowledgeable, and gives every case the attention it deserves. I recommend Kevan to clients on a regular basis and will continue to do so without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. We are colleagues in a small community. I practice in family law, estate planning and bankruptcy. I was able to work with Kevan on a case where she was able to help one of my bankruptcy clients get her social security disability benefits. I now refer all my potential clients that need assistance with disability insurance to Kevan!!"
