This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Informative and effective legal help

After ending up in the hospital after a car accident, I knew I needed legal assistance. The initial sit down conversation tookplace while I was still in the hospital and he was very polite, professional, and direct in what he said he would be able to do. Without fail he delivered. The rest of my con...versations about the case were over the phone, which under the circumstances, was no problem due to my inability to travel. Those conversations were the same as when we spoke in person, and I was happy with the easy in which he informed me of what was going on and the consistency with how often I was kept informed. The end result of the case was more than I honestly expected. I would be proud to recommend his services to others, and would, without a doubt, personally use them for myself.

Personal injury lawyer | Feb 10

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Prior to being hired by Kanoski Bresney in May 2013, I had heard of Mr. Bresney's reputation for being an aggressive attorney skilled in litigation. Working for him for over 2 and 1/2 years now has only confirmed his reputation. Mr. Bresney is dedicated to serving his clients' best interests. He does not push clients to accept offers of settlement just to avoid trial. He is clearly not afraid to take a case to trial. He is artfully skilled in taking depositions of lay and expert witnesses."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
