Kevin's logo dervies from the Turner Cross, a German insignia featuring four opposing letters F standing for words roughly translated to English as cheerful, hardy, godfearing, and free. While an attorney is ethically obligated to be the best possible advocate for his client, it is important to do so in a principled manner. The "four f's" are principles that Kevin has adopted for life and legal practice.
