Only lawyer I would trust with my life

I first hired Mrs Kirchner in I think 2012. I was in drug court and under the representation of someone else that I didn’t feel was representing me to the best of his ability. I switched to Mrs Kirchner because I still had pending charges. Kathleen remained my lawyer for about 4-5 years and really he...lped me straighten up my life because addiction was taking it over. She won cases for me that no other past attorney would’ve won. The objections she came up with in court were absolutely brilliant. I have recommended Kathleen to many people and the people that have taken my advice loved her. She is far from lazy she is aggressive does not just accept plea deals to get paid she will go to bat for you with all she has. Whether it’s a traffic accident or murder trial or custody which she also helped me with she goes into every courtroom like she’s charged up.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
