Above and Beyond
Seems inadequate to put only five stars on a person who fought for and obtained the BEST possible outcome for my most cherished gift- my child. My life, my child’s life, and thus generations to come in our family will be influenced by Christa Kirk. Will be forever grateful for her.

I'm so blessed to have Mrs. Kirk represent me
Prior to meeting Christa, I had a consultation with another top attorney in Gwinnett County and I did not feel confident at all. He just didn't seem to care and I felt rushed the entire time. Then I came across Avvo and read the reviews on Mrs. Kirk. What made me choose her was the review that a pr...

"Although I just met Christa a few months ago, I certainly knew who she was before then. Christa has earned a stellar representation in the legal community with judges, attorneys and clients.
