KTB Helped Me Through It All
“I originally thought that the worst thing to come out of an accident would be the loss of my vehicle. I soon found out that damage I suffered physically will be with me for the rest of my life.
KTB helped me through it all, from initially not reaching a settlement with the other party, deciding to move forward with a trial and ultimately a jury verdict in my favor.
They took care of all the details so I did not need to. They fought for me against a much bigger entity and took on all the risks that entailed.
Staff members came to court to offer support during the trial and the attorneys themselves took the time to answer all my many, many questions.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal support. The research they did, the time spent finding experts and all their work in preparing made the difference in my case.” -
I am thankful to Kershaw Talley Barlow, and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family.

Recommend Him and His Firm Highly
“My initial contact with Stuart Talley was in November 2012 after I did an internet search for some toxic metals I was told were in my bloodstream. He called me in response to an internet inquiry on a Saturday. We talked for a long time and he gave me a lot of information that day. We later met in person when he was in the Los Angeles area. At that time after receiving a lot of information I would not have had access to I hired Stuart on a contingency basis. I’ve been very pleased with his service with an ongoing lawsuit against a major corporation and recommend him and his firm highly.”
