So glad I hired Denise Kirby to represent me!

First, I want to say that I am so glad I hired Denise Kirby to represent me for my DWI case. When my situation occurred, I was visiting Missouri during a vacation and initially was very nervous because I live in a different state and did not know any lawyers in the area. After doing some research and... speaking with her, I decided to hire her. I’m not proud to say this, but after being tested, I was twice the legal limit for alcohol. Denise was able to get my charges amended to careless driving with a fine and NO probation. What’s even better, is that she won my license hearing so I never even lost my driver’s license. Needless to say, I learned my lesson, and feel that I made the right decision when going with her.

Trust Me, She's Worth It

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.

The Best of The Best

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.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m grateful for your trust and patience throughout such a stressful time. For those reading — I'm licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. While diversion is a fairly routine outcome for first-time DUIs in Kansas, this case was in Missouri, where diversion is rarely offered for DWI offenses. My client completed a 10-hour class, and the charges were then dismissed — no conviction, no jail, no probation, and no criminal record. In addition, we also won his license hearing, which meant he kept his driver’s license without any suspension. I'm proud of the result we achieved and even more proud to have earned your trust. Wishing you all the best moving forward.

The Best Outcome I Could Hope For!

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!

She did a fantastic job

I was charged with DWI and my BAC was .20, Denise won my license hearing and got my DWI dismissed. She was great.
