Stop looking, she is really, really good ,thanks Denise !

Hi, I was arrested for my second DWI, and I have a commercial driver’s license. I had been convicted on my first DWI in 2011. Denise explained that I would have to win both my license hearing (I refused the breath test) AND my criminal case in order for me to not lose my commercial license for the re...st of my life. That is my career. Denise was expensive, but I felt like I had the best shot with her, and I was willing to spend that money to have a chance to win. I can’t thank her enough. I was worried the entire time, but she did it. I didn’t lose my license, and my DWI was dismissed. She works really hard and I feel like she actually cared about me and my case. I thanked her so many times, but I can’t thank her enough. Thanks you again Denise!

DWI Case

Quickly after I was unfortunately arrested on a DWI charge in Kansas City, MO, I found Denise's information here on the Avvo website. After reading all her great reviews, she was the first lawyer I called, and I ended up hiring her immediately after consulting with her. Out of all the lawyers I tal...ked to, she had the most experience and was the most confident she could get me a positive outcome in my case. Turns out, the review were absolutely correct! Denise got me a better deal than I expected, and it was certainly the best outcome I could have gotten in my case. I even got my license back much sooner than I expected! Thanks again Denise!

Great Representation

Denise Kirby met all of our expectations and then some. When our daughter went through her rebellious years she was in legal trouble on more than one occasion. We were with another attorney prior to the third offense. We left that counsel not because of the outcomes but because he did not seem to ...care. We were not confident he was fighting for the best results. While Denise was realistic with what we could expect both good and bad she still fought for the best scenario until the end. We certainly felt she was invested. While every situation is different we were confident that Denise went back on the first two offences and negotiated a better end result than we would have expected with our previous counsel. She dealt with some particularly difficult prosecutors who initially seemed unwilling to waiver. Denise was patient and continued to work on the negotiation. While we ended up paying for representation twice for the first two offences, it was well worth it. Her processes were very thorough. She examined all previous cases to ensure nothing was missed. Through out the process she also served as a positive female roll model. An added bonus. We would recommend Denise without hesitation.

True Professional

Search no further -- you have found your lawyer here in Denise Kirby. Denise took the worry away and did a remarkable job. She was always calm, professional and very patient with my many, many questions. She took the time to answer everything and got back to me in a very timely manner. A true pro...fessional who knows her stuff. We never had to step foot into a courtroom. She took care of everything. I highly recommend her.

Thank you! I understand parents are worried, especially when their child hasn't ever been in trouble before. I'm glad I was able to get the charges dismissed. That was the just result.

Although reviews are basically hearsay...

...they're pretty much all you have when blindly clicking around the internet looking for representation. My wife spent FOREVER looking around, calling people, reading reviews and emailing lawyers (hey, I had an organic chem test!), and we both agreed on Denise. After meeting with her, I had no dou...bt that if anyone could do anything for me, it would be her. Her price was only marginally above others we had contacted, and was insignificant compared to if I would have had a "less-desirable" outcome in court. This was my SECOND DWI, and I pretty much got the same thing as my first one. In fact, after she had negotiated with the prosecutor, we went before the judge; he looked over the terms, then looked up at me and said, "Mr. _____, you have a VERY good attorney." In all honestly, I didn't really give her anything to work with; I simply drank enough to go over the limit, then blew. Regardless, she meticulously went down every possible avenue and analyzed every detail of my case before going to court. You need a good lawyer. Thank you, Denise!
