Amazing

Kevan and her team are amazing. I suffer from severe brain fog because of my disorder, and they were always patient with me and made sure I understood everything. Everyone I spoke to (which was mostly Kevan and her assistant Diane) are extremely professional but also make you feel like an actual huma...n being. They were always very timely with updates and responses. They also allowed me to do a lot of my business over email because that's what was personally easier for me and it was very convenient. I know that Kevan is the reason I won my case, 100%. I am so blessed to have had her as my lawyer. I can't say enough nice things about her and her team.

Went the distance for me.

Kevan was excellent and extremely professional with my case, the case was initially a difficult one with a couple of large challenges. This case had to be fought over along time span but she stayed with me all the way. Thanks Kevan

Superb !

Kevan is beyond amazing. She is professional , knowledgeable and most importantly shes honest . She fought diligently for me and believed in me . Her office staff is always well informed and courteous. I had no problem with getting my questions answered and I always had knowledge what was happening w...ith my case. Kevan and her staff always got back to me quickly and that was much appreciated . She’s very thorough and actually cares about you and your not just a file and fee to her. She won my case after 3 long years but she never was deterred . I highly recommend Kevan . She is above parr !

"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!!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
