I used Tom Pivnicny for a workmans compensation case. Prior to contacting Tom, I spoke with a few attorneys who said I didn’t need them meanwhile I had no idea what I was doing. Tom was the first person/attorney to acknowledge my concerns for needing legal representation. He accepted the case the day I met with him.Tom and his assistant Diego were happy to answer all questions I had throughout the duration of my case. All emails were answered within a business day and in some cases, I even received replies well after the work day had ended. They were great when explaining how workmans comp works, what typically happens, and what to expect. I appreciate all of their hard work.I didn’t have to worry about anything with them handling my case. They did all the information hunting and leg work, I can’t say that when I used another law firm in the past.I’m settling my case knowing I got the best offer the insurance company was willing to give. In fact, if I didn’t use Tom, I’m not sure I would have received such a fair offer with another attorney. I also know I wouldn’t have been able to get it myself as the previous attorneys I consulted suggested. If I ever need legal representation in the future, I will not hesitate to contact Kitay.Thank you to the Kitay office, Diego, and Tom for everything.

I have worked for Kitay Law Offices as an employee and as an IC in some capacity or other since 1999. The staff has always been dedicated and enthusiastic. Ken Kitay and his associates have always put their clients needs and desires to the forefront. If I had an injury claim or workers' comp claim, I would have no hesitation in asking for these people to be my representatives. (I have no intention of getting into a situation where I would be utilizing this or any firm for criminal defense, but if that is your situation, you could check with these people)
