Client
I will never use this attorney, Darrell Kimbrell again. He left me hanging with my case in jeopardy but took my money. Never returned calls to this day. But thankfully he did not have the final word. Just did not give a crap about me and my case. Bad experience.

Phillip Darrell Kimbrell's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Darrell for several years and know him to be the consummate professional. I know Darrell both to have exemplary character and work ethic, and to always remain a zealous advocate for his client; he will never leave a stone unturned in his representation of a client, but will remain a courteous professional to others. He will never loose sight of his client or their case. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Darrell for over ten years first when I was a public defender and he was a prosecutor, and subsequently, when I was a prosecutor and I was dealing with him as a criminal defense lawyer. Darrell is truly one of the good guys in the legal profession. He is an awesome trial attorney who gets great results for his clients. He is one of the smartest attorneys around and when I talk about being smart, he is both book smart and common sense smart. Darrell takes his ethical obligations as an attorney very seriously and I always look forward to our chats in Cobb County in between court sessions when we can talk about ideas and strategies for our cases."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer.I have known Darrell for many years as a fellow attorney in Marietta. He is well-respected and extremely good at what he does. He has an extensive knowledge of the law, and he attends to every detail in his cases. I heartily endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred numerous clients to Darrell over the years and will continue to do so. My clients often were involved with their first instance with criminal proceedings and Darrell successfully represented them while keeping them (and me) informed of the criminal proceedings and intricacies of judicial system. Darrell has been practicing in the area of criminal defense for many years, is an expert, and always has the best interests of his clients. He knows the system, is highly revered by his peers, and is a top professional in his field."

His knowledge of criminal law and DUI law is very impressive and I highly recommend him to any perspective clients who are arrested in Philadelphia for criminal and DUI charges. He is also a former prosecutor which makes his experience valuable."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Darrell for almost 12 years, and he was very instrumental in helping me open my own law practice eleven years ago. He has the heart and attitude of a small town lawyer in a big city. He knows all of the people in Atlanta from the cops to the prosecutors to the judges. He is very friendly and most people just plain like him. So, it is to his client's advantage that he can cultivate all of these relationships. He works very hard and cares about his clients immensely. When you need something done, a trial, a deal, anything, I would recommend Darrell."
