Mitch Abeita was an excellent choice for a personal injury attorney. I always felt like top priority. He got me several thousand more dollars than what I was expecting.

NB, Personal Injury, 2022

Ted Anderson and his team treated me with respect. He was knowledgeable of the law, quickly grasped my situation, and had a plan to solve it. He understood my needs and saw what was best for me. He proceeded with compassion, integrity, and emotional intelligence. He is an accomplished lawyer who instilled confidence in me as a client, which was important, since I was wronged by my company which has many resources, and he strove for fairness. I wish Ted Anderson continued success in helping people who feel helpless.

NS, Long-term Disability Case, 2019

Bob Goodman listened with caring and realistic insight. He never promised extraordinary settlements. He was very respectful of the opposing party. In any conflict with an employer, it is so important to look at a case unemotionally, and to focus on an outcome based on evidence you can prove. Providing you have documentation and an ethical attorney, you are in good hands. I am confident that any potential client of Bob Goodman will readily see the results he can deliver. I was quite satisfied with the outcome! This is what you get with Bob. Someone who cares.

I never got the chance to offer my deepest gratitude for what you and your team did for me 16 years ago. You drove me home after the trial. You said, “We believe you Jeff.” Those four words were powerful. They gave me hope and boosted my confidence. In the midst of loss and pain, you offered me a way to walk through it with my head held high. Thank you for standing beside me. I want you to know how deeply engrained those four words are for me for all my life. Thanks Bess. I’ll always believe in you, your team and Kilgore & Kilgore.

JLH, 2019, Employment Discrimination Case, 2003

Initially, I was nervous about the prospect of going up against the corporate power of my company, but with Ted Anderson as my counsel I never felt disadvantaged. Ted guided me, from behind the scene, throughout the entire process of the executive compensation negotiation. His demeanor and knowledge helped me bring this to a successful resolution. As an executive vice president, I’ve handled separation agreements with my employees on behalf of my company. Dealing with my own separation agreement against my company was a new experience. I took comfort knowing I had extra strength with Ted Anderson on my side in the background.

MT, 2018, Former Executive Vice President, Executive Compensation and Separation Agreement

I met resistance when I contacted my former employer about the defamation on my FINRA Form U-5. I had to take legal action. I needed a FINRA attorney. After an extensive search I found Bob Thornton of Kilgore & Kilgore. He helped me navigate this difficult process and provided emotional support. Bob was focused and compassionate. He led my FINRA arbitration hearing to a successful conclusion. This included expunging the false and defamatory information they put on my FINRA Form U-5 and receiving compensatory damages.

CC, 2018, Former Bank Vice President, FINRA Arbitration Process and FINRA Form U5 Defamation Expungement

In my manager role, I reported some unethical behavior of my supervisor to the HR manager, but the problem was not addressed. So, I took the matter to Corporate. A different supervisor was assigned who made work miserable for me. Then, he terminated me. I’d been with that employer for 20 years and received high performance metrics. I reached out to Bob Goodman. He told me of the best course of action then worked diligently to negotiate my severance package. I had a lot of questions along the way. Bob was responsive, even after hours and on weekends. He was compassionate, professional and easy to speak with. I highly recommend Bob Goodman and Kilgore & Kilgore.

DM, 2018, Employment Retaliation, Wrongful Termination, Severance Package

I lost my entire career by that wrongful termination report in the FINRA U-5 Form from my former employer. I was not prepared, emotionally or mentally. One day I was on top, the next day I was in complete despair. But I was in good hands with a team that advised and guided me and my wife with empathy and confidence. From my first visit with Bill Masterson, I knew I was in good hands. The Kilgore & Kilgore team guided me to victory and the recovery of my career. Thank you to Bill Masterson and the entire Kilgore legal team.

Ted Anderson is great to work with. He is professional, thorough and efficient. He closed out my case much sooner than expected.

When you are in water too deep, it is good to be with someone who knows how to swim. Bill Masterson and Bob Thornton worked hard for me and my family. I was very pleased with their services. I did not have a good opinion of lawyers prior to working with them. But now I have closure, and my family is financially and emotionally secure. Bill Masterson has integrity and brought a breadth and depth of experience in all aspects of the real estate transaction involved, including market values as well as oil and gas versus surface rights. I am very grateful to Bill Masterson, Bob Thornton and their team.

I searched online for an attorney and found Bob Goodman. He called me to his office and I told him about my problem. He said there a way we can go forward with a discrimination case against an employer. He was polite, kind, intelligent, and informative. He described the points of my legal argument and got to work immediately. He encouraged me to hang in there for more than a year. He worked for the maximum benefit. He told me what he would do and he did it. I would recommend him.

Thank you for taking my case and believing in me. A great deal of my recovery from everything that happened is a direct result of being given the opportunity to fight the good fight. Thank you for the friendship, strength and incredible legal representation.
