He is a great lawyer and he certainly knows his stuff. I would and have recommended him to others.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have watched Kirk grow from a former associate at The Clarke Law Firm (we are both alumni) to the fine criminal defense lawyer that he is today. His practice has defended the 'tough" cases in State and Federal Courts. I am proud to be a member of the NMB legal community with him."
"Kirk Truslow is a knowledgeable and gifted criminal defense lawyer who represents people at a very high level. He is a lawyer I refer clients to, and do so knowing they will receive a complete defense. He knows the law and procedure, which is essential for an effective and successful defense, and he is diligent in his practice of defending in both state and federal courts. I would reccomend him to anyone charged with a crime."
"I strongly endorse Kirk! As a fellow attorney in the area, I have frequently called on Kirk for advise. He not only has a vast knowledge of the law, but he is well respected by other members of the bar. A lawyers reputation among his peers will tell you a lot about his worth as a practitioner. I would gladly recommend Kirk to anyone searching for a criminal defense lawyer."
"I strongly endorse criminal defense lawyer Kirk Truslow. I have worked with Kirk on a number of different cases over the past 18 years. Kirk zealously fights for his clients and will do everything possible (within ethical boundaries) to get them the best result. Kirk meticulously prepares every detail of his case for trial. Prosecutors know the attorneys that fight for their clients and will be prepared for trial. I believe that Kirk gets excellent deals and results because of his reputation as an attorney that will "go to the mat" for his clients. I have participated in a number of trials with Kirk. He is outstanding in the courtroom. He has a strong presence before a jury and he is very confident on his feet. I have referred many criminal cases to Kirk over the years because I know he will do an excellent job representing the accused individual. Needless to say, I would give criminal defense attorney, Kirk Truslow, my highest recommendation!"
"Kirk Truslow is one of few attorneys in the Horry County area that I would trust to handle a case for me. He is tough, experienced, not afraid of a fight, and I recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer."
