Very Knowledgeable

Mr. Kirby Smith was very prompt with our scheduled appointment. He immediately made me feel very comfortable and not rushed while presenting my information. He's very knowledgeable and is a good listener. I can't wait to proceed with my case.

Very Professional

Kirby Smith exceeded my expectations in many ways. He was very knowledgeable, and so was his diligent staff. He was a good negotiator who came prepared, set a proper tone, listened well, spoke with fairness and knowledge of the law, and delivered successful results in a difficult situation. His w...ork came under the estimated fee, and he refunded the unused portion of the retainer. I took the time to research and interview several attorneys before choosing Kirby Smith, and am glad I did.

No complications; only sound and straight forward legal advice

Had a workers comp claim about an employee who was injured at work. With the help of surveillance we found out more and the case never made it to the court. We ended up negotiating a settlement. Mr. Smith presented all the options available to us very clearly. I'm glad we chose his firm to represent... us. Always kept our expense and cost in mind and presented sound and pragmatic advice. He's very hands on and available to answer any questions. I would work with him if there is a need in the future.

Integrity and Quality service

In February 2016, I received notice from my Human Resources Dept. that due to a manpower study there would be a Reduction-In-Force (RIF) and I would be losing my position. My new position would be non-supervisory and rigorous which due to physical ailments acquired over the years I'm no longer able t...o perform the tasks. I elected to go out on a disability retirement. I contacted Mr. Smith and explained my situation and he told me what the fee is and we started the process. Mr. Micah Barry was assigned to me and he provided outstanding service, was always professional and the most important thing to me next to God is integrity. I ended up getting my position back after 2.5 months and no longer need to retire. Mr. Barry contacted me about refunding the retainer minus the work that he performed. They restored my faith in attorneys, I had horrible experiences in the past, but the law office of Kirby Smith are honest, hard-working professionals and I strongly recommend their services. Thank you.

  • 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.
