What Our Clients Are Saying

Bob Kingsland worked very hard on my case as well as the rest of the staff. Very honest and straightforward, and did not settle until they agreed on something my case deserved. Worth all the time and patience.

Kristi K.

I highly recommend Bob & Lee for the knowledge and sound advice they always give from start to finish.

We did not think we would ever need a lawyer. Leland F. Dempsey and his team helped us every step of the way. I am really satisfied with the results.

Mike. K

I have worked with Bob and Lee on multiple cases. One was a slip and fall case that went to a verdict in excess of $345,000. The other three cases were settlements in the six-figure range. Bob and Lee are both efficient and competent attorneys.
