Great Lawyer

Mr. Kirby helped me get power of attorney for my dad who couldn't do for himself and was taken advantage of by his now ex-wife. He also made a new will for my father. He was very easy to talk to and he made himself easily contactable to us. It blows my mind to read some of these negative reviews. He ...is a great lawyer and I highly recommended him if you ever need a lawyer!

Honest

Will helped my family handle a custody case and while it was not an easy thing to go through, having a lawyer like him on my side that I respected and could speak with honestly helped me to get through this difficult time in my life. My family and I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the area in th...e past and Will was the first one who I felt like did not see us as another paycheck. I would highly recommend Will for anyone who is looking for an attorney in the Columbus area.
