Ratings & Reviews
Client - 05/14/2020

Kris Madsen has represented me in two motor vehicle accidents. I live 100 miles away from his office and he and his office staff were very accommodating in sending documentation back and forth through email. He was always readily available when I had questions or concerns. His investigation of the facts in each case was thorough and I found his advice to be sound. Additionally, his personality is congenial and thoughtful as I felt that he genuinely cared for me and my best interests. I was extremely satisfied with the results obtained and would highly recommend his services.
