Kevin put me in touch with so much information and grew my claim from several hundred dollars to over 30K. He was patient and gave me very practical guidance. I would not have been as successful in my claim without his help. He is very experienced in dealing with the Labor Commissioner and other lawyers. I trusted him and felt he was always on my side.
I had just been laid off from my job of 16 years when I contacted Kevin (a referral from a friend) to find out how much he would charge to review the lay-off agreement I was supposed to sign before I could receive my severance. Kevin was amazingly helpful. I wasn't expecting that. He seemed genuinely concerned and asked many questions. I felt that all his comments were very useful and they helped give me clarity regarding my rights. At the end of our conversation, he told me to send him the agreement and he would give it a quick review at NO COST! I was shocked but very, very grateful he would do this for me. Within the day, he had emailed me his comments and concerns. I really felt he was looking out for my best interests. His comments enabled me to go back to the company that laid me off and communicate changes that I wanted made to the agreement. Kevin is one of those lawyers who really cares and isn't just focused on fees and billable hours. He is the kind of lawyer that is the "good guy" in movies.
