Denise Kirby

I was charged with a DWI in Jackson County and hired Denise to take my case after interviewing multiple attorneys. I had heard she was the best and I was willing to pay the premium for her services over others after hearing her detail her goals with my case, which were in line with my own. I was i...mpatient at first, not hearing anything for the first few months. I was nervous and wanted to be involved in the process so that I could know what was happening. Denise assured me that she takes great care with and extensively reviews each and every one of her cases--that is why it takes time. This could not be more true. Fast forward a year and a half, and Denise won my civil license hearing for refusal of testing. She was then able to swiftly get my criminal case dismissed and traffic violation changed to a non-moving violation. I could not have asked for a better outcome! Denise is THE EXPERT in this area and it is why her services are in such high demand. If you truly want the best outcome for your DWI case and its impact on your future, you need to hire Denise. Her skills are worth every last cent.

I wrecked my truck and tested over the legal limit. She got me diversion. Every step along this path was a professional step. Even the judge reminded just how hard of a worker she was. If you have a DWI and she can practice law where you were charged, there is absolutely NO OTHER ATTORNEY I WOULD TRU...ST MY LIFE AND FUTURE TO.

I was arrested for a DWI last year after being pulled over for speeding. As it was my first arrest, I was anxious about the situation, and I never want to be again. After researching several attorneys, I chose Denise Kirby due to her specialization in DWI/DUI cases and the positive reviews from clien...ts. Although her services are pricey, I felt it was worth the investment to protect my job, which requires a valid driver’s license. During our consultation, Denise was upfront about the uncertainties of the case, but her expertise reassured me. She successfully won my license hearing and reduced my DWI and excessive speeding charges to two non-moving violations. If you hire Denise, you can expect a dedicated attorney who truly wants to win. Thank you, Denise!

After being pulled over for expired license plate tags late at night, the officer asked if I had any drinks that night and then proceeded to start a Field Sobriety Test. The officer improperly administered the test and attempted to intimidate & scare me into failing the test. When this succeeded, I w...as arrested for DWI despite having a BAC below the legal driving limit. Being aware that this felt like a targeted false arrest, I found Denise online and requested a consultation. It was very clear to me that Denise was extremely knowledgeable on DWI cases in Kansas City when she was able to correctly guess the officer that administered the test and identified that officer had a track record of improper arrests. She obtained body cam footage of the arrest and verified that the test was improperly administered which proved the officer's written report justifying the arrest was falsified. She took this evidence to the Prosecutor and was able to negotiate an offer to demote the DWI to a mechanical violation, the equivalent to a broken taillight ticket. Although she likely could have won the case to fully remove any violation related to the arrest, I agreed to the mechanical violation in order to reduce additional court fees and any court appearances. Denise was very professional and available when needed. She emailed and called often to provide updates to the case and was very forthcoming on her opinions of the situation as well as the legal precedence & history of Kansas City law.

On St Patrick's Day, I got into a car accident with no injuries. The officer who arrived on the scene said I had the smell of alcohol on my breath and had me do a field sobriety test. I failed the Field Sobriety Test, and I refused to blow. I was arrested and booked for DWI + Reckless Driving, caus...ing an accident, and I had 2 weeks to appeal my license revocation. I was in shambles and anxious about my future as a healthcare professional. I called different lawyers. Some were cheap, but they just wanted me to take a plea deal. Some big firms were willing to fight the case, but they were super expensive, and I didn't want to go broke over this incident. Enter Denise Kirby. When we discussed my case, she made no guarantees, but by the end of the conversation, I was convinced that she'd be the one to represent me. She impressed me with her resume; she is well-known in KC for her expertise in DWI defense. Her price is a flat fee and is more than fair for her expertise and qualifications. Her payment system is easygoing. I made an upfront deposit and finished making payments after six months with no interest. You'd think the case would be settled by the end of the six-month payments, but it wasn't. Denise warned me that the court systems in KC, Missouri, are slow, and they sure were. A full year later, when the case came closer to a hearing, Denise called me to review all the evidence and asked me what I wanted to do. My biggest thing was getting the DUI off my record without going to trial. She spoke to the prosecutor and called me about a few weeks later. She was able to get a plea deal to amend my DUI and Reckless driving to a C&I driving violation, which is essentially a $500 fine and not a criminal offense ( not a misdemeanor or felony). I only had to go to court in front of the judge to agree to accept guilt for the traffic violation and then pay the fine at the court. She also won my license revocation, I just had to do SATOP classes, and my driver's license was not suspended. Do yourself a favor if you live in the KC area and face DUI/DWI charges Denise Kirby is the way to go.
