He was great, and got me a nice settlement for a case that was very difficult. My settlement was $180,000. Thanks Again Ken.
Consulted with Ken for a defamation lawsuit (I was being sued). He was great—real patient and empathetic, and was even willing to be flexible regarding compensation because of my financial situation. Though I didn't end up going with him (costs), I definitely had a great experience.
Kerner & Kerner are great attorneys; they were professional, highly skilled and responsive to my needs. Our case was brought to a successful conclusion and we would not hesitate to retain them again and to recommend them to others.
Mr. Kerner was able to help me win a settlement, in a relatively short amount of time. He was always able to explain everything to me so there was no misunderstanding. He always makes the time of day to get back to you if you have any questions.
I have worked with Kerner & Kerner for many years and they always get the best results!!! They are true experts!!! and there experience shows with the results on all the cases they have helped me with.
Being hit by a car and ending up in the surgery room is a horrible experience. Going through the legal process becomes a requirement to protect one’s rights. I was referred to Ken. He was present at the hospital right after my surgery. He ensured all documents were filed on time to start a legal case. He followed up diligently with all stakeholders - whether me, the insurance companies, and the defendant’s lawyers. He kept the communication lines open, explaining the process to me and getting my input wherever needed. I was able to fully trust Ken and I knew he had my best interest at heart. Ken’s strong knowledge of the personal injury law brought the other party to the table and we were able to negotiate a settlement. It was a pleasure working with Ken and I highly recommend him.
