Consultation

Kirk consulted me on steps to take to make the process of child support negotiations more mutually beneficial. He walked me through laws clearly and even followed up when I did not choose to retain his services. His insights empowered me to be able to handle the process. Thank you to Kirk and the St...ange Law Firm!

Review for Kirk Stange, The Stange Law Firm

Kirk provided legal counsel and representation associated with my divorce. His patient guidance and calm approach to the process was very helpful, including a specific recommendation associated with forensic accounting assistance that was invaluable. And he is simply someone that is enjoyable to talk... with.

Most assuredly a Super Lawyer!

I recently hired Kirk for a family law matter. Kirk’s work is both meticulous and thorough, not only in case prep, but in every communication that he sends. All correspondence from Kirk was a very well thought out and put together communication. Kirk’s expansive, thorough and accurate knowledge of th...e law is not only astounding, but comforting. Kirk is professional, timely, and extremely responsive. Whenever a development came up, I would almost immediately know about it. Kirk took the time to explain very complex law to me in laymen’s terms, and was extremely good at it. Kirk can give a very good high level overview, but focus on the details that really matter in order to build a solid, well thought out strategy. Kirk’s team is a well-oiled machine that seem to work together as if they were made to do just that. You can tell that Kirk takes great pride in his work and that is a great benefit to any client. Kirk took the time to really understand my situation and I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me bring my case to the best outcome possible. I would never want anyone else on my side in matters of Family Law.

Caring Professional

Kirk is a dedicated professional who listens, cares, prepares throughly and executes effectively on behalf of his clients. Staying a client of Kirk's as he established the Stange Law firm with Paola was an easy decision. A client knows when they have quality representation and a true partner during ...a challenging time in life.

Fantastic!!!

I wish I had used Kirk when I got divorced--would have saved me tremendous hardship and assets. But I found Kirk when I needed help with custody arrangements. He couldn't have been better! Knowledgeable, caring, and tough as nails when he needed to be. If you find yourself in need of a family law... attorney you could scour the globe and find no one better than Kirk! I owe him a huge debt of gratitude!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
