I live out of state and reached out to Kevin on behalf of my father, who was injured at work. Kevin was kind enough to have multiple conversations with both me and my father, before he had even been hired, to make sure we understood my father's situation and that we were comfortable with him and his plan. From the start, it was very apparent that the well being of his client's is his top priority. Both Kevin and Joanne kept my father up to date on what was going on, what would be happening next, and what he should be doing to help his case. They happily answered every question we sent their way and never made us feel like a bother. Not only was Kevin successfully able to make sure my father was compensated for his injury, but he took the time to meet with us to discuss settlement options and how they would impact my father's next steps in regard to work, health, and quality of life to ensure the best outcome for him. He goes above and beyond and is exactly the kind of guy you want representing you or someone you care about. I cannot say enough good things about Kevin.read more

First of all.. I want to thank God and my daughter to find such an awesome lawyer Mr.Bunn. I was kind of nervous meeting Mr. Bunn for the first time because he would ask me to explain from the beginning about my injury and ask me again the same questions. I have a very heavy accent and I know I speaks very fast at time. Sometime he would ask me the same question over again. So, I said to myself, this is not going to be a good lawyer for me. I found out that he want to know and understand what I was saying. The more I talk to Mr. Bunn the more i understand about the law. He would explain how workers compensation law is all about. The Insurance company was sending me check of what they believe was the right amount every week. Mr.Bunn recover the amount they were sending was wrong. So my weekly check was $150. Short the whole time. Thank you Mr. Bunn!!! Mr. Bunn will fight hard for you and his knowledge of how workers compensation works, it will speak for itself. I also want to thank his paralegal Ms. Joanne for taking my call and answering all questions I may have . she is always polite no matter what day of the week it is. she ask if i want water and always make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend Mr.Bunn as your lawyer if you want results. Other lawyers might be just all talk and no results. He will ask, understand and work hard for you then, get the results that will amaze you ! Lorelei Jamesread more

Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for Kevin Bunn, and his awesome paralegal, Joanne. Kevin is an individual with character traits that a client would want from their attorney. He is kind, knowledgeable, straightforward, tough, professional and honest. When I was injured at work I had NO idea that I was about to embark on a legal battle with an employer whom I had LOVED to work for during the past thirty some years. I am a leader in my field including being National Board Certified. During those years I impacted thousands and had distinguished evaluations. All I wanted was a total knee replacement that my surgeon stated I needed as a result of the injury. I quickly found myself in the very complex world of workers compensation that left me overwhelmed and most importantly unvalued. Kevin made me feel very comfortable and knowledgeable about all the many situations involved in the case. I also feel I learned a lot from him to help others know their own rights as individuals. I traveled over two hours out of town just to get Kevin and I am so glad I did. I got the total knee replacement from the surgeon I wanted and have moved on with my life after close to a two year battle. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a Workers' Compensation attorney to hire Kevin Bunn!read more

Kevin Bunn is a great lawyer and a great man. I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have had him representing and working for me over the past few years. I found him by word of mouth while I was looking for a lawyer to handle my worker's compensation claim and my application for social security disability. He was one of the only lawyers I found in the area who would handle both of these. I knew from the first time I met him in person that he was the right choice. Kevin is a straightforward, honest, rational, down to earth and very kind person who went above and beyond to help me and to bring forth favorable results on all fronts for my situation. He always explained things well, we were always on the same page before making any moves, and I truly felt like he put me as a person first and foremost, before lawyer fees or anything else like that. I honestly only have positive things to say about Kevin and my experience working with him. Also, his paralegal JoAnne is awesome, and it always cheered me up to hear her voice on the phone. I highly recommend Kevin Bunn to anyone who is searching for top notch representation for their worker's compensation claim or social security disability application.
