Great until he wasn't

I hired him in 2018 because my children's mother was harassing me and assaulted me during a custody exchange. I was pretty pleased with him and would have given him a good review, however she recently started being belligerent again and when I contacted his office about another consult they simply w...ould not return my call which is very unprofessional.

Trust update

Wonderful Lawyer My dad needed someone to look at his trust and make sure it was up to date and written the way he wanted it. Mr. Kirk looked at it and met with all of us to help us understand everything that was in it and involved with handling it. He brought the trust up to date and found a couple... of things that needed to be corrected. Dad was extremely satisfied. Also, my dad was going through chemotherapy at the time and was too weak to leave the house, so Mr. Kirk traveled to him. This meant a lot to us and shows how much Mr. Kirk cares about his clients. We were pleased with the service he provided and his reasonable fees. We would definitely use him again.

Great Attorney

Mr. Kirk represented me in my divorce and did a great job. He knew what he was talking about. Mr. Kirk is a very skilled attorney who was very in depth with knowledge of the law. I would highly recommend him to anyone. A fair and intelligent attorney who will fight for your rights.

Mr. Kirk cares

I hired Mr. Kirk to complete an estate matter. Mr. Kirk truly cared about my family and his rates were extremely reasonable. My matter was rather complicated and he made me feel comfortable with the legal process. He was quick to return phone calls and stayed on top of my case every step of the way....

  • 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.
