As a Litigation Specialist with PRMS, Inc., I retained Kevin to represent a psychiatrist in a difficult medical malpractice case. Kevin obtained a defense verdict in behalf of the doctor. Kevin is a no-nonsense, hard-nosed and savvy attorney whom plaintiff attorneys would prefer not to go up against-a guy who likes to try cases and just what you're looking for in a defense attorney. Kevin has obtained several other great outcomes for me. He is my go-to attorney for all cases in his neck of the woods and I highly recommend him without reservation.

John's professionalism, knowledge of the legal system, explanation of the process and considerable patience with a novice in this legal environment, allowed me to participate with increasing confidence and reduced stress.  I know that it is due to his expertise and outstanding representation that the jury was able to make such a swift decision to rule in my favor.
