One of the best I’ve hired

He is super professional. Very calm and collected at court. Resolved my case way faster and with a way better resolution than I had thought possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal aid.

Assistance in preparing my will.

From the greeting I received and through the process of having my Will notarized, Mr. Bottner and staff were most professional. Before beginning the process, Mr. Bottner and I had a pleasant chat, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for me. The assistance, suggestions and explanations I rec...eived from him, aided in the process being a seamless one and I was most satisfied with the document. I would recommend Mr. Bottner and his team to anyone who had the need of legal service. Sincerely, Carol W

CLIENT

An excellent lawyer and person! I felt desperate and had called so many law firms in the Charles Town area. His office was the first one to respond and show true concern. Mr. Bottner contacted me shortly thereafter and helped me with the over complicated laws of our legal system. I will be forever gr...ateful for his dedication!

Kirk Bottner-Passionate Advocate

Hired Kirk to represent me for a DUI case, after being refered to him by many people locally. During the intial consulation I was given clear information on how I needed to proceed and was encouraged to act quickly to show the court that I was serious about getting the issue resolved. I retained him... as my lawyer and followed his instructions, which lead to me getting a deferral that will eventually be exsponged from my record. During court he always arrived on time and was calm, collected and concise. I will always recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice. A very professional and passionate representative.

My case

I feel Mr Bottner was very professional in the way he handled my case. I meant him for a consultation in which he explained would could and could not happen. He was pretty spot on with the outcome of my case and I was pleased with the job he did for me. Thank you again for the service you provided me.... Michael

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Mr. Bottner on two matters that spanned issues between West Virginia and Virginia in criminal defense and divorce cases. He's honest, and a zealous advocate. I very strongly recommend that if you have a litigation matter in Jefferson County or neighboring WV jurisdictions, you contact Mr. Bottner for potential representation."

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 19

Relationship: Co-worker

"Kirk is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I have ever met. He thinks fast on his feet and is a bull dog at trial. In my opinion, Kirk is one of the finest trial lawyers in West Virginia. Kirk is equally adept in his handling of bankruptcy, family law, personal injury, and general civil litigation."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Suspension Partially Stayed Placed on Probation issued in WV, 2022

updated on 04/27/2022

Suspension partially stayed means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Reprimanded issued in WV, 2011

updated on 01/07/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
