About Kirby
Biography
Kirby graduated from University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School in 2004. Kirby is admitted in Missouri, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. Kirby has worked in the areas of family law litigating highly contested divorce and modification cases, and also litigating matters involving complex insurance coverage, bad faith cases against insurance companies, personal injury, and wrongful death cases. Kirby's practice focuses primarily on family law litigation, navigating divorce, custody, and modifications in Jackson and Cass County Courts.
Kirby enjoys teaching and studying martial arts and holds a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Judo. He has practiced martial arts for over 40 years and was on the U.S. High School Judo Team where he was an exchange student at three high schools in Japan. Before law school, Kirby was also in the Japan Exchange Teaching (JET) Programme where he lived in Japan for three years teaching High School English in Tochigi Prefecture, and had the honor of training at the prestigious Kodokan Institute. Kirby brings his martial arts strategy to the courtroom and analyzes each case with those principles in mind.
