Doesn’t deserve one star

After I hired Kirby it was one excuse after another. 2.5 years for a simple modification and he couldn’t handle that. He canceled meetings after I took day off work and drove 200 miles because his tummy hurt, very hard to reach, little to no follow up and zero gumption. All he did was take my money. ...Had to fire him because he was completely incompetent.

Amazing Lawyer

The absolute BEST law firm! I cannot say enough about the level of expertise and professionalism of Kirby Minor! Stressful legal situations are made much more bearable with Kirby Minor by your side! My questions are answered promptly and in “regular person” terms! Although no one wishes to be in the ...need of a lawyer, I know at times I was an unbearable client, but my case was anything but easy. I got the results I wanted and even if I could be gruff at times with him he kept a professional manor. Thank you for all that you do for your clients!

Highly recommended

Absolutely love Kirby!! Very professional and overall just a kind person.. I had been trying to get divorced for 2 years.. found Kirby and it was done in 2 months. Best money I’ve ever spent and would totally use him again if needed. Thank you Kirby!

Don’t waste your money

I paid Kirby to represent me after having a great consultation. He did not fulfill a single promise. I was extremely underrepresented in court if at all. Because of his lack of preparation and total disregard for my welfare I ended up losing my case and am now having to hire another attorney to clean... up the mess he created. Lesson learned.

Divorce . . . . Kirby was great to work with . . . .

Kirby got this done for me and made it easy and simple for me. He worked with me and the divorce was not contested by my ex-. Kirby is easy to talk to and made me very relaxed.

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.
