Professional,Thoughtful and Kind

I had a bad fall, followed by surgery & PT, followed by lots of medical bills. I really wasn't sure what to do. I really just needed my bills paid. Mr. Kirkpatrick kept me upto date, and filtered through all those confusing papers from multiple insurance companies. He took the time to explain things... and checked in with me often. My medical bills are covered. To my suprise there was a sum for me too. Extremly professional, polite, and kind.

Simply The Best

Our lives turned upside down last September after a car accident that broke my fiance's femur seemingly ending his career and injuring myself as well. We were represented by Kent and we received the maximum amount possible for our cases. He fought for us. He is an excellent attorney but more importan...tly, he's a good man.

Simply the Best!

Mr. Kent Kirkpatrick is the most professional attorney I have ever worked with or met. I was involed in a very complex auto accident with personal injury. He spent hours talking to me and would give me advise on what to do. Attorney Kirkpatrick is a true professional in my eyes and helpful beyond wo...rds! He helped me reach a huge settlement and I can't express my appreciation enough!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
