What My Clients Say

I have nothing to say about about the firm and Atty Bowen and his team other than they could not have been better! Under his direction they were all prompt in response, accurate and helpful as we worked our way through a situation we never expected to confront. Without their expertise we would have lost a great deal. At our time of life it would have been extremely difficult had KKC not won our case.

Considering I had a ‘sticky’ situation and needed someone I could place my confidence in to resolve it – Chris Bowen was amazing. From start to finish he was always responsive and helpful. I was very pleased and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal services.

KKC was referred to us by our attorney due to their expertise in the area needed. We met with one of the attorneys and discussed details of our issue for an hour or so. We then signed on as a client and KKC went to work creating a case. KKC’s communication was excellent and kept everyone including our attorney in the loop so everyone was working together. Christopher Bowen was our main attorney that negotiated the case with the defendant’s lawyer. KKC’s team built such a strong case with 9 criminal counts before any negotiations took place, and the case did not go to court. During negotiations we were willing to compromise but Christopher Bowen would advise not to get ahead of ourselves as we are not done yet. The end result was a total success. We highly recommend KKC for any legal services required.

Honest and caring, Atty. Chris Bowen made the negotiation process smooth and stress-free for us. We appreciate his knowledge, patience and communication skills.
Looking for top notch legal representation? He’s your guy!

Dear Chris,

A few years ago, when I was still in college, due to my limited understanding of society, I blindly trusted the words of the developer. Everyone around me thought that I would never be able to get my money back. Later, I was introduced to you, saying that you were young, and very skilled in handling this type of case.

In less than a year, from the situation where the other party’s account had no assets, through continuous pursuit, you actually succeeded in helping me recover more than $600,000. I truly never thought this money could come back.

During this process, you were patient, dedicated, highly efficient, and always clear in your strategies. I really admire you! It is so rare to find such an excellent attorney. I sincerely hope I will have the opportunity to work with you again in the future. 

Many thanks also to Tracey—for being so kind and helpful to me. I wish your firm continued growth and great success!

Best wishes.

S. L.
