"5-Star Review for Kevin Westell and Chelsea Kalla Exceptional Legal Representation Kevin Westell and Chelsea Kalla are outstanding lawyers who embody everything you could want in legal counsel. Their strong analytical skills and strategic problem solving were evident throughout my case, as they meticulously dissected complex legal issues and crafted an argument. What truly sets them apart is their exceptional communication both in and out of court. Kevin’s advocacy and Chelsea’s precise legal writing ensured our position was always presented powerfully. They also took the time to actively listen and making sure I felt heard and understood every step of the way. Their deep legal knowledge and research proficiency meant no detail was overlooked, and their integrity kept me fully informed even about potential challenges so I could make the best decisions. Beyond their legal expertise, their client centered approach stood out. They treated my case with genuine care, explaining things clearly and keeping me updated at every stage. Their negotiation skills and attention to detail secured a favorable outcome, and their professionalism made the entire process as smooth as possible. If you’re in need of lawyers who are dedicated, brilliant, and trustworthy, Kevin and Chelsea are the best choice. They don’t just win cases they earn your confidence and respect. Highly recommended"

"I was represented by Mr. Kevin Westell in a criminal matter in 2024, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing considering the serious nature of the case and the fees involved. There were significant communication issues throughout the representation. I experienced long periods—sometimes weeks—without responses to my emails, even during critical moments. After I was taken into custody, my spouse was left without any communication or support from Mr. Westell, despite reaching out for guidance. As the caregiver of our 3-year-old daughter, she was left without any legal advice or direction on appeals or next steps, at a time when clarity and support were essential. To be clear, I was not expecting Mr. Westell to show compassion. What I expected — and paid for — was effective legal service and communication. Given the cost of the representation, I truly believe I would have been better off representing myself. This review is provided to help inform others seeking legal representation. In high-stakes legal matters, clear communication, thorough preparation, and responsiveness are not extras — they are the minimum."

"Can't say enough positives about both Janine and Kevin. They worked together as a team on a very sensitive case for over 2-1/2 years that turned out in our favour because of they're drive to get the best outcome of what we could get from the court's decision. If you're in need of the best defense lawyer and team look no further! They go over and above to get the best results."
