Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.We had a case involving a large company with what was described by a mediator as an insurance firm that was very difficult to deal with. We hired Kuvara Law Firm, and with no additional cost, they brought in Steven Cornet, a highly regarded litigator. When we finally entered mediation after a dragged out schedule set by the opposing team, we were able to observe our litigator in action. We had been advised by Mr. Cornet of the typical awards in the county where our trial would be held. The mediator also clearly advised us of the court, witness and other costs involved in trial. My wife, the party with life changing injuries from the collapse of a defective store display, and I had previously agreed on what we felt would be a fair net outcome for us after expenses. Mr. Cornet was able to negotiate that outcome. Further, the Kuvara-Cornet team negotiated with the medical provider and others to further increase our net outcome. Our settlement was significantly more than we anticipated.
Mr. Cornet is a excellent attorney. Ethical, caring, hard working and a fighter for his client's rights and compensation. Mr. Cornet has been my attorney for more than two years. He was my champion in my personal injury case,and I can count on him on any legal situation.
