Hands Down, One of the Best, if Not thee Best trial Lawyer
Robert Kirwan is an A1 Lawyer, really Top of the Line, he really is the Best. I was facing 10 serious charges, Drug Delivery resulting in Death, and 9 other drug related charges in 2 consolidated cases, and was found Not Guilty at jury trial due to Mr. Kirwan's great representation. He really is a work of art, and well respected when he gets in the court room. He really fights for you, and you can trust him with your life. Really glad he was my Lawyer, Upmost Respect, Highly recommended.
I have the utmost respect for him! He means what he says. I felt relieved when I seen him in action in the courtroom. He is very skilled and has the expertise to fight for you. To be accused of serious charges later to have them dismissed was a huge relief. He listens and gives you sound advice. He is definately my go to attorney for any legal concerns I may have in the future. When they go low! He goes high! I highly recommend him and am extremely satisfied with the outcome!
Early in my career I was trained as a government prosecutor and received substantial training and trial experience in criminal law. I am using that experience and 29 years as a criminal defense lawyer to protect the rights and reputation of my clients.
Â
Being charged with a criminal offense causes frustration and anxiety for many people, especially those who have never been in trouble before. Not only do I provide an aggressive legal defense for my clients, I also provide sound personal advice in dealing with all of the additional problems associated with being accused of a criminal offense and being involved in the criminal justice system.

Assault and burglary case
Robert Kirwan has been my attorney for around 10 years and he never fails to amaze me when it comes to the court room. Robert Kirwan got me found not guilty on a jury trial of 5 charges today. He truly has a gift when it comes to the court room. Mr Kirwan is the only attorney I trust when I’m in any court room. Anybody that needs a good attorney should definitely hire Robert Kirwan!

I highly recommend Mr. Kirwan for any future problems you may have, he will step up to the plate and help you along the way. His knowledge around the court room is amazing.

Robert M.
Attorney Robert Kirwan is an excellent attorney and I would highly recommend him. He represented me in a ridiculous and fraudulent nuisance traffic case brought against me by vicious neighbors seeking to use the legal system to "punish" me for parking what they considered their parking spaces. It was a summary charge, small matter, perhaps, but something which would have cost me financially and personally. But Mr. Kirwan, with his expert knowledge and brilliant courtroom manner, fought to get all charges dismissed and Im very grateful to have a guy like him in my corner! I have great respect and admiration for this attorney. He is the very best at what he does.

Traffic Citation
I contacted Mr. Kirwan regarding a traffic citation that resulted in points and a fine. A layperson such as myself would probably have no idea how to proceed on how to plead in court for the best outcome. Mr. Kirwan advised me prior to my court date and put me at ease with his expertise and confidence. The case settled in my favor with points removed and the fine lowered. There is no doubt that I’d have not gotten this favorable outcome without Mr. Kirwan’s guidance and representation. The experience was seamless. Thank you, Robert!

Attorney Kirwin is not just another Criminal Defense Attorney he is "THEE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY " Kirwin is by far, in a league of his very own ! He was my Rock in time of need, compassionate and caring, Comforting & Reassuring. My family and I had our lives ripped apart by rouge cops & prosecutors who wanted payback by using their positions to get it! These people ripped our lives apart, I couldn't trust anyone, I had nowhere to turn, I thought all hope was lost and I was going to be convicted of crimes I did not commit, that is until I found Criminal Defense Attorney Robert Kirwin II, after reading his reviews I knew I just found my new Attorney.
"ATTORNEY KIRWIN IS THE VERY BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY WITHIN ALL OF PENNSYLVANIA!
This man had not only beaten down prosecutors in one jury trial , oh no , he BEAT DOWN PROSECTORS IN TWO JURY TRIALS WITHIN 3 DAYS !!! NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES !! That's 2 Jury Trials in less than one week ! TWO SEPERATE TRIALS IN 3 DAYS AND KIRWIN BEAT DOWN PROSECUTORS IN BOTH TRIALS
I was Found NOT GUILTY in both trials ! Words can't discribed what Attorney Kirwin did for my family and I , these cops & Prosecutirs wanted jail Time they wanted to destroy my life & Family but Attorney Kirwin had a much different view !
ATTORNEY KIRWIN WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO STOOD FAST BY MY SIDE , besides my family , while friends of 20 years wouldn't even return my calls or acknowledge my existence. I'm telling you, do not trust your life or your family's life with anyone else ! Attorney Kirwin will defend you with his last breath! His Trial skills are unmatched , his professionalism is like non I have ever witnessed before. If you need a real Criminal Defense Attorney, look no further then ROBERT KIRWIN II

Competent, Compassionate - thank you
We had the unfortunate need to hire a criminal defense attorney. Not a position anyone wants to be involved in. However, Mr. Kirwan was the utmost professional attorney I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. He was honest, knowledgeable and available with any questions we had. Our case was resolved in the matter in which we had hoped, thanks to his knowledge. He not only represented our son, he too took care of a power of attorney for me, and did not charge me any extra! He genuinely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of an attorney.

Damn good man, the best lawyer!
Twice now I've had my cars abused by some half rate mechanics, would've been out thousands of dollars if this amazing lawyer wasn't there to help the little guy... he's tenacious, he's honest, he wins, give him a call if you want the justice system to work for you, not against you.

Excellent Criminal Trial Lawyer
Mr. Kirwan is one of the best criminal trial lawyers in the state. He kept me from having a nervous breakdown on many occasions. I owe my life to him. Even when things looked bad, he never lost faith in my case or his ability to get me through what was the toughest part of my life. I was found not guilty of all charges. I am glad I hired him. I talked to a few lawyers before selecting him. It was a wise choice. After talking with him for 10 minutes, I knew he was the one.
Thank you again for everything.

Grateful
What makes Mr. Kirwan a great lawyer comes down to the fact that he is a good-natured person. He acted with integrity; he was understanding and non judgmental towards the logistics that lead to my having a case. He was realistic; he gave me accurate information about potential outcomes of a case like mine and the time that it could take to reach that outcome. He exhibited a genuine desire to see that I could ultimately improve from an unfortunate situation through his relentless dedication.

Don't cheat yourself! Get this man!!!!!
Mr Kirwan represented my son at a preliminary hearing in district court. His sharp negotional skills tilited the scales of justice. My son was falsely charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He worked with my son & the judge...reviewed the evidence...speaking with the police and accuser. He gave my son the choice of moving to a full hearing, fighting all charges..or accept the disorderly conduct charge & have all others withdrawn. We chose the deal...to cut our time, cost, stress. It was great to watch him dismiss the accuser [in a firm voice with a dismissive tone] "you are free to go now". Made the accuser look like the criminal...she was / liar. Mr. Kirwan communicates well, strives for the best outcome for his client..He knows how to handle himself well in the small, crooked towns and jurisdictions. A real lawyer who cares about his clients...not a small town political player who cares about golf next week with the judges and other lawyer! Choose wisely!!!!!!!!!

PAs Top Gun , for criminal Defense !
Highly Recommended!
Answered many , many calls ... Always professional , not pushy. When the state charges you up , it is their job to convict you , not to exonerate you. There are two sides to every story , the DA doesn't get paid to tell yours. This guy gets it. Details to follow upon conclusion of matter .

Robert Kirwan is the best in BERKS and beyond!
Robert Kirwan represented me on two occasions...one for a 2nd DUI in October of 2012 and an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and four other felony charges which Attorney Kirwan was able to get dropped for me. He is highly motivated and a leader in his field. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone in need of a top notch defense lawyer. He never missed a beat to get my trials through in a swift, cost-effective, and timely fashion. He held my hand through two scary moments in my life. I hope I never need him again...but if I do...he would be on my speed dial for defense.

Outstanding criminal defense attorney, Best in Berks and beyond!!!!!!
Highly recommended.
Robert Kirwan is a fantastic defense lawyer. I was involved with a serious assault with a deadly weapon case that could have resulted in a very long term prison sentence. Robert was able to work his magic and have the most serious charges dismissed. He also was able to negotiate to have a school zone mandatory sentence left off the record. After everything was over I was sentenced with probation. Robert is a beast in the courtroom! With any serious charges I would not take my chances with any other defense attorney. 100 stars out of 10!! AMAZING. Best in berks and beyond easily!!!

A GOD SENT...BEST LAWYER!!!
I was at court with another criminal defense lawyer, while waiting for our case to come up we sat and watch Robert Kirwan case, when I tell you he was on his job I wanted to give him a standing ovation but I had to reframe myself while I was in the court room, he was swift, savvy, blunt, and to the point, he held no punches, after hearing him I knew I had to hire him as my attorney I quickly forgot about the idiot attorney I had sitting beside me. The worst part of it was I didn't remember Robert Kirwan name or any whereabouts, just remember his face. I left the court room sad and upset even more upset because the idiot attorney I had did poorly he was the worst. While riding home all I can think about was this attorney Robert Kirwan at that time I had no name of him, my family was in the car with me and all we kept saying was he was sharp, even down to his appearance, you seen the confidence and passion in him at his work. I was stressing about how can I ever find him. Well as I got home I went to check my mailbox and I notice this one envelope out of all 6 pieces of my mail that had Cirba&Kirwan Attorney at Law I opened it and began reading it and everything he was saying in the two paragraphs about him I was liking so as I proceed to the next sheet it was a flyer with a man on it and Lord Mercy it was him Robert Kirwan I almost fainted my eyes began to tear as I was Thanking the good Lord for sending this man to me who I knew nothing of and knew I would never find him...HE IS TRULY A GOD SENT!!!!! He is now my attorney I'll let you guys know the outcome when it's over with...I already know NOT GUILTY!!!

"Robert is one of Berks County's best! He has a broad knowledge of many areas of law and killer trial skills. He will fight for you in and out of the courtroom. I highly recommend him."
Criminal defense Attorney | Dec 12
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Robert is a fantastic criminal trial lawyer. I've have the pleasure of working with him on many felony criminal cases where we represented co-defendants. He is aggressive and gets the job done. He has more criminal trial experience that any other defense lawyer in Berks County. Many younger lawyers promise results. Robert Kirwan delivers them."
