We weren't sure of our rights or best course of action when our accident happened. Our case was not as cut and dry as some. Our consultation with Mr. Culpeper provided us with the answers we needed in order to be able to move forward with our claim and make informed decisions for each step we needed to take. We are grateful to have such a knowledgeable individual leading us through this complicated process.

Mr. Culpepper truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He exemplifies extraordinary customer service and his staff is friendly and kind. Dealing with legal matters can be un-delightful, but it was nothing but a delight and a pleasure to be represented by this firm. I wish I could rate him 10 stars instead of five! Hopefully, I will not need representation in the future but if so, I know Mr. Culpepper with be my first choice!

I have great things to say about my experience working with Brad Culpepper and his staff. They were always responsive and attentive to my needs. I highly recommend Culpepper Kurland for anyone in need of assistance following a car accident.

I was in a car accident that was very traumatic and life changing. Brad Culpepper and specifically, Leah Womack, were the absolute best. I met with Brad Culpepper many times and he was very easy to talk to and clearly was going to go the distance to resolve my case. Leah was the most patient, responsive, and compassionate person I could have hoped for. Regardless of how many times I called or how upset I was, she was quick to return my calls and was a calming force for me. I would recommend this firm and team to anyone in need of a PI firm. Excellence from start to finish. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and diligence in resolving my case. You made me feel like family.

The Culpepper/Kurland law firm and entire legal team were extremely pleasant to deal with. During this time of chaos they were a very calming presence with the many calls I made with various questions.. Intial offers from Insurance companies were refused allowing the maximum return. I would highly recommend them for a legal team.

I'm choosing to write my review on Thanksgiving because when I was thinking about the things I'm thankful for this year, Brad Culpepper and his team came to mind. I was in a life changing freak accident about two and a half years ago. I never could have imagined the chaos that would ensue my life. I didn't realize that the day I chose my attorney, that they would become like family. No one can prepare you for the things and people you will lose during the time it takes for your case to end... but Brad and his team never left. Despite how miserable I was at times, he never stopped answering my late night texts- anxious for answers that I had to wait for, through devastating setbacks; all the ups and downs he was my constant. I'm so grateful for him never giving up on me, never making me feel dramatic or crazy, and he really listened to me when trying to decide what was best for me overall. I highly suggest him and his team- I'm very happy with the results of my case- as happy as you can be at least when your life has changed forever and the only thing that could make it ok is a time machine. They worked diligently crossing every T and dotting every I. Even when all I had left to do was sign on the dotted line, Brad and his paralegal Amy (she's amazing) still found another part of my case that most attorneys I feel like would have missed- so even as I write this- they are still fighting for me! Again, I'm so thankful to the Culpepper team and all they have done and are continuing to do for me!

Brad and CK Firm were great. Their entire legal team were very easy and pleasant to deal with. Great experience overall with an even better result for my case. Turned down initial offer and ended up walking out the door with triple where we started! Hope I never have to call a PI attorney again, but if I do, CK all the way.

He did not work for me. In 2 years I spoke to him 2 times. He is not a litigator and only wants cases that he does not have to work for. He never deposed any witnesses to my slip and fall. It was a case that would take some effort and he could not go the distance. Do not trust this man, unless you want a quick settlement for what he can get. Do not let his commercials fool you. He does not care about you or your family!
