Life raft

Mr. Kirkwood was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when all options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution impossible. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered much needed reassurance. He gave me clear direction, through a very complex custody case. Mr. Kirkwood made h...imself available day or night, being genuine concern about issues affecting my child. He worked diligently to understand all aspects of my case, but also helping me illustrate my concerns. I was very impressed with his courtroom presentation and his ability to highlight the important facts throughout the proceedings. He represented me very well. My family an I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Kirkwood without reservation.

Child custody

I am a single mother from NY and he is helping me get my son back who was taken without consent by his father. I never realized if my son was there more than 6 months Texas would have jurisdiction over my son. I found Mr Kirkwood after my first initial lawyer did not represent me in a timely matter a...nd was impossible to communicate with. Mr Kirkwood answers all my calls and texts and all my questions. He has taken over my case and did the necessary things that weren’t done before. He’s gentle and caring but very professional and knowledgeable. He gives me hope we’re I see none. I am grateful he has taken on my case.

Very Experienced with CPS system

Mr. Kirkwood understands well and navigates efficiently the complexities intricate with a CPS case. He understands the law and has experience with many of the case workers, lawyers and judges. Mr. Kirkwood guided us to quickly undertake actions to help us in our case even though I did not understan...d the bigger picture. His advise was accurate and to the point and by following it our case had a successful outcome. He later explained his strategy in more detail when the situation was not as urgent. Mr. Kirkwood did have a tendency to underestimate the cost in our particular case, but within reason, as some complications did arise. We will hire Mr. Kirkwood again if the need arises. We had heard from some case workers that Mr. Kirkwood was tough but that he would be the person that they would personally hire and not want to up against in court. We observed how well he interacted with opposing counsel and with all members of the court. His demeanor and knowledge worked in our favor.

The Best Lawyer for Child Support Defense/Modification

From the beginning of our consultation Mr. Kirkwood was a true professional. He took his time to listen to my situation and allowed me time to ask all the questions I needed too. Mr. Kirkwood then devised a meticulous plan for resolution. He knows the Child Support system and how to defend his client.... I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Kirkwood. I highly recommend him!

Excellent Lawyer for CPS cases

My son was placed in foster care from the time of birth and was appointed a court appointed Lawyer after 17 months I seeked out to find a Lawyer. You never know what to believe. After hiring Marques Kirkwood i could tell he knew the law and he never backed down. I have full custody of my son and wit...hout Marques this would not be possible. The Repo Man
