Nothing better than stepping away from the office and coming together as a team for a night of baseball, laughs, and good company. We’re proud of the people who make our firm what it is—on and off the field!

This month, KMS is celebrating Gregory Emdee! ✨

After a five-day evidentiary hearing, Greg secured a complete victory for his client in a matter involving allegations of terroristic threats and legal malpractice.

One of the things Greg enjoys most about practicing at KMS is the opportunity to thrive in his preferred practice area. Legal malpractice matters allow him to draw on nearly every area of law while working alongside former colleagues and even adversaries.

And now for the fun fact… during undergrad, he raised pigs and grew a variety of crops! KMS is grateful to have Greg on the team!

This month, KMS is celebrating Michael Pittman! 🌟

Michael recently secured a significant victory for his clients in a complex failure-to-diagnose prostrate cancer case. After filing several motions to compel further responses to written discovery and a motion for summary judgment, he successfully obtained a dismissal with prejudice on behalf of his clients in a challenging matter involving serious allegations.

Michael loves working at KMS because he values the people he works with and the challenging nature of the firm’s work. He finds it rewarding to defend professional clients and enjoys the opportunity to continue learning about the medical issues involved in his cases. Fun fact: Michael has a twin brother who is also an attorney!

We’re proud to celebrate Michael and his dedication he brings to KMS and his clients!
