Posted by Kelly | April 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent on So Many Levels

I sat in Alachua county jail with multiple felonies for FIVE months without one word from my public defender. An extended family member of mine hired Kevin Quirk for me, one week before my court date. He came straight to the jail to see me and spent two hours discussing my case with me. He was hones...t and he spoke clearly to me, and he really seemed to care. He said a continuance on my upcoming court day was likely since he had just been hired to represent me, but that if he could, he’d try to resolve my case. Well, the next week the morning before court, Mr. Quirk resolved my case. He actually got me the exact, and I mean exact, plea bargain that I told him I’d wanted. I can’t thank him enough and to this day would recommend him to anyone. He still, over a year later, answers my calls and my questions about my probation to the best of his ability. Truly a good lawyer and truly a good guy.

Helped Me Positively Move Passed A Terrible Moment

Kevin used his expertise in criminal law to perfectly represent me during a felony trial case. Though it was a scary and unnerving moment in my life, he seemed to always care and listen which lessened the stress of the situation. He always honest, explained everything perfectly including his thought ...process. He showed my family and I true sympathy and understanding. My case did go to trial and I was amazed at his ability to build a case and function through a trial. He showed absolute professionalism, speaks calmly yet direct, and seemed to connect extremely well with a jury. Through his help I was acquitted of a felony charge. I couldn't have gone through this experience without his help. I truly appreciate everything Kevin has done for me.

Thank You Mr Quirk

We were very fortunate to have found Mr. Kevin Quirk to represent a loved family member who found himself in big trouble with a DUI. Mr. Quirk defended him admirably, he brokered the best deal we could hope for and treated us with utmost respect and courtesy. We would definitely recommend him to anyo...ne if they find themselves facing this predicament.
