Mr Kirwan was the court appointed law guardian of my granddaughter ... he did a good job ... neither of the parties involved had an attorney as we were in agreement of the custody so the judge asked Mr Kirwan to draw up the custody order ... now, 30 days later, I still don't have the custody order even though I have called requesting it ... I understand he is busy but this is silly :(
If there was a spot for 0 stars that would be most appropriate. I believe this attorney to be the absolute worst ever. He did not return phone calls or emails. He did not show up for court twice, without notifying us. We had to reschedule and drive to Oswego from out of town. We paid him a substantial amount of money. He is despicable and his conduct is exactly what gives attorneys a poor reputation. Don't hire him ever. Get a reputable attorney from the Syracuse area.

Where's Tim?
Six months ago I hired Tim to handle a real estate transaction, simple I thought, I have sold a few properties before so I thought it would go like all the others. There were some factors out of his control, because the purchaser was a corporation, but once the ball was put into his court, he seemed to ignore it. He was given 45 days according to the terms of our sale contract agreement to do a title search, land survey, and whatever else is done with these transactions. 15 days in we receive a letter from him asking us to locate the abstracts, deed, and original land survey, which we did promptly. The sale contract agreement expires in three days, and he's not sure if the sale will close in time. Tim never once returned a phone call to us, and would only communicate through emails, which he rarely responded to mine unless i expressed I was getting angry. If this deal falls through because of his neglect, I will be screwed.

money hungry
Mr kirwan knows my wife was having a affair with a fifteen yr old boy at her age of twenty three. He is my aleged sons lawyer and is refusing to support a test to ensure he is mine. His reason it would leave the child w/o a father. Nothing more than to get money from anyone they can to provide for a child even if it does not belong to the alleged father
