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)
