Michael Dennis Kirby

I hired Michael Kirby to replace a very young attorney I initially chose to handle my divorce after 40 years of marriage. The young guy worked hard for a year but got stalled. Michael is my age and had been a magistrate for over 25 years. I thought he would be the perfect solution. I delivered ...Michael my case file from the previous 14 months and he assured me he would get up to speed for me. A week later Michael Kirby advised me that I needed to settle my divorce by paying my wife 1.2 million dollars which is a figure that my wife's attorney had requested at the beginning of the divorce. He advised I borrow the money to do so. I told him that he obviously had not read my file. He said he had. I informed him we had already been given a counter-offer and had refused the revised offer from my wife's attorney for $715,000.00 some weeks earlier. Why would I now offer 1.2 million dollars which I do not have? He was unable to respond. Then the following week despite my explicitly asking him to make a motion to the court to enforce its order to have my wife pay for an appraisal of property he did not do so. Instead he told me he and her attorney felt it was a waist of money. I fired him. And I do not recommend him as a divorce attorney.

I was facing an uphill battle when I contacted Mike Kirby. Mike helped me to gain full custody of my 2 minor children from Ohio to live with me in Arizona. My case had its complications due to the fact I just finished serving a 5 year prison term in the Arizona department of corrections as a result... of a DUI conviction. The odds of a father gaining custody with my circumstances are extremely rare. Mike believed in me and went to work fighting for my rights as a father and my children's rights to live in a loving abuse free environment. If you have a case that is complicated in any way Mike is the best fit for your situation. He always answers the phone even on weekends I highly recommend Mike Kirby.

Mike recently represented me for my divorce and I am more than satisfied. He is very knowledgeable, always kept me informed and most importantly he did not waste my time. Everything was handled in a timely manner. I wold highly recommend him to anyone and would definitely hire him again in future if ...needed.
