WHAT JEFF'S CLIENTS SAY:
“If you are looking to hire Jeff, my only advice is to hope he takes your case."
“Jeff was the only lawyer I explained my case to on the phone who took the time to simply sit and listen while I described my situation. From that first phone call, I knew right away that he wasn’t just another lawyer.”
“I felt like David vs Goliath, but in the end the truth won. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is the victim of workplace injustice.”
“If you are right and truthful, I believe Jeff is the one who will get the justice you deserve.”
“Jeff recognized that you have to use ALL resources available to tell my story and to share with the world that you are not alone and you will not be silenced anymore.”
“Jeff’s dogged determination carried me through our fight. I know that sometimes justice is hard to find, but thankfully Jeff left no stone unturned.”
“What helped me the most was the fact that Mr. Kulwin always kept my husband and I abreast of any development and he truly kept us informed throughout the case. He proved to be most sincere, trustworthy, and informative lawyer we have ever had to work with.”
“I highly recommend Jeff for any employment related matters.”
“It was my first time being a litigant and in court. Jeff made the whole process understandable and less intimidating.”
“Jeff wanted to know me as a person and not just as a client. That meant a lot to me.”
“When I reached out to Jeff, he was open-minded, explained that justice is not always in a form of monetary awards, but about bringing awareness to issues.”
“Jeff worked with, guided, and reassured me through the long legal journey.”
“Jeff articulated my whole story from beginning to end laying out all the facts to meet my objectives. He believed in me!"
“Jeff has a genuine sincerity."
“I highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is seeking and needing justice for themselves and ensuring the injustices in our society are corrected.”
“Jeff is an excellent lawyer and litigator. I never doubted his dedication and devotion to my case, and he was exacting in details and the nuances of it. Jeff got it.”
“I know that my situation was relatively minor, but Jeff treated me as if I was a substantial client. It gave me the security and confidence I needed, and again shows me that KMK is a quality firm providing top-notch representation.”
“Through our years working together, Jeff maintained a realistic and level-headed approach to the twists and turns the court process brought us.”
“Jeff was more than a lawyer, he was a detective. Jeff found the dirt hidden in the drawer and the locker literally, as well as under the rug figuratively.”
“I can’t think of a single thing Jeff could have done better for me. I hope I never need an attorney again – but if I do, Jeff’s the man.”
“Jeff calmly explained the complex legal jargon surrounding my case in easy to understand terminology. Together we discussed different litigation and non-litigation options. He talked to me and treated me not as a client, but an equal, demonstrating his empathy at every stage of the process.”
“Most important to me, Jeff kept me abreast of every internal and external communication and always made me feel like I was in control of the situation.”
