Kevin was perceptive, quick and efficient with my breach of contract issue. He explained the alternatives and the possible outcomes of each. It was decided to pursue a lawsuit, which Kevin efficiently drafted, reviewed with me, and filed with the court. This resulted in an out-of-court settlement being reached within days of the filing. Kevin also handled the drafting of the settlement agreement. Performance is what counts in a court case, and Kevin Drendel performed like a Champ!
I found Kevin G. Drendel readily accessible and easy to work with. His communication skills are very good and he poses questions to the client so as to better understand the needs of the client. His work habits appear to be very methodical and thorough. Additionally, although he maintains a very professional relationship with his clients, he is successful at putting the client at ease.
Very good for small businesses.
I like the fact that Kevin keeps it simple when explaining things to me and the professionalism he shows in his work. I have recommended Kevin to others and will continue to do so.
I have used Kevin and his staff for a number of legal issues and advice. I find his knowledge and advice to be precise, timely and very useful. His ethics are beyond reproach. As head of the practice, Kevin encourages his partners to be actively involved in the community and give back to the community in a variety of ways. Kevin is a asset to the profession.
Kevin was very helpful to us.
Kevin is an amazing asset to our team. We are a small non-profit, community television station and he has guided us through many situations. From language in our bylaws to reviewing contracts, Kevin always came through with amazing knowledge. I could not lead my organization as confidently without Kevin.
We have been very pleased with the work Kevin has done in developing our trust which included "special needs" accommodations for one of our daughters and a granddaughter. His insight and research in this area was very helpful in making our plans for the future. We have also appreciated his easy accessibility when dealing with legal matters of a general nature. We also have appreciated our dealings with Kevin's father, Gilbert X. Drendel, attorney now semi-retired in the same firm.
Mr. Drendel was very helpful in explaining the options in the preparation of a will. His drafting of the will was timely and thorough.
