“After I was hit by a car while biking many of my friends recommended Ken. Ken and his team handled almost everything for me from facilitating the damage assessment, negotiating property damages, and reaching fair settlement with the insurance companies. What really sets Ken apart is that I felt like he cared about my recovery and was able to use his ties to the community to help me find the correct specialist that got me back on the bike. I now have firsthand experience of why Ken is respected in the community and will recommend his services to everyone.”
