From my first phone call with Kevin Morrison of Altair Law I knew that he was something special. His concern was all about my immediate well-being and making sure that I was getting the care I needed. Every step of the way he continued to prove his caring, competence, professionalism, perseverance, skill, strategy, kindness and empathy while maintaining full transparency as to the process including managing my own expectations of time etc. Kevin is passionate in all that he does and how he works with his clients! Not only is Kevin an extremely talented attorney, but he is a phenomenal human being as well! Kevin’s incredible skill, insight and intuition proved instrumental in achieving the final exceptional results, that exceeded expectations for myself and my family. I cannot recommend Kevin and the rest of the ‘Dream Team’ of Altair Law enough! Our confidence and respect for Kevin NEVER wavered from day one! From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful beyond words!

Words cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal services provided by Kevin over the past five years towards my father. From the moment we reached out to Kevin, it was so evident that we were in capable hands. His depth of knowledge in personal injury law, particularly regarding workplace accidents, put us at ease immediately. However, his genuine concern for my father's well-being throughout the legal process truly set him apart. Kevin's strategic negotiation skills and courtroom prowess were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for my father. My family and I are eternally grateful for his dedicated support and exceptional representation throughout this ordeal.

Kevin Morrison doesn’t just do great work - he puts his heart into it. He represented my family on a deeply personal case, and constantly balanced professionalism, compassion, and personal sincerity. Due to Kevin (and Josh/the Altair team), our case was a great success.

Kevin is great! I was referred to Kevin after I was injured in a near-fatal accident, and even though my case would not be a big money-maker, they still took my case. Kevin and team were with me every step of the process. During the COVID shutdown they kept me informed on how to proceed while the courts were closed, etc. They handled everything with such sensitivity, tact and diligence, and they were very straightforward and honest about my options. They were so competent and professional that I didn't have to worry and could focus on recovery. I have so much respect for the care they gave me and my case, even though it was clear from the start that it wouldn't bring in much of a settlement. At the end, they even reduced their rates so that I would receive a larger amount! After the settlement we received one more late lien which they successfully got dismissed, but they wouldn't let me pay for their extra time, so essentially they did the last bit for free. Highly recommend!

As a practicing lawyer for over 40 years, I have no hesitation in saying that where personal injury attorneys are concered, you cannot do better than Kevin Morrison and Altair Law. We have worked together on a number of cases, and when I was seriously injured in a traffic accident three years ago I immediately asked Kevin Morrison and his partner Josh White to represent me. The result was everything I'd hope it would be. Apart from being highly intelligent, experienced, and knowledgeable, they're the nicest people you can hope to meet. I can't say enough good things about them!

J Kevin Morrison works very hard in preparing cases. He and his office always kept in contact. He even took a seminar to help him prepare. Because of Kevin's good instinct and being well prepared my son will be taken care of for the rest of his life. Kevin is the best attorney I have ever worked with. My family and I will always be grateful to Kevin Morrison.

Mr. Morrison was not only courteous and helpful, he went the extra mile on all aspects of my liability suit. Case and point, due to my injury, I was unable at times to meet with Mr. Morrison at his office which was a considerable distance away from my home. Mr. Morrison took the time to visit me at my place of residence to discuss my case, showing me he was committed to providing me with the best service possible. Mr. Morrison knows how to get the job done RIGHT hands down!
