Highly recommend.

Kirker Davis law firm has been phenomenal throughout my divorce process. Due to my abusive situation, I needed conversations and meetings to be set up at specific times and using safe communication methods. Everyone from their intake person to the front office staff to my specific legal team kept my ...safety in mind. Kirker Davis and specifically Rebecca Kennedy, Jordan Thomas and Jordan Hayden were extremely sensitive to my unique situation and needs. They worked with me throughout the process to advise me on best next steps to protect myself. They were supportive, thoughtful and responded promptly to emails. They handled communication on my behalf in a firm, direct manner and made a very stressful situation much easier through the post nuptial process and ending with divorce. As a working professional I am glad I trusted them to protect me and my assets. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for legal services in the greater Austin area.

Knowledgable and reliable

I want to extend my gratitude to Becca Kennedy for her exceptional support during my divorce process. From the outset, Becca made a potentially overwhelming experience feel manageable and even empowering. The timeline for finalizing my settlement was much shorter than I anticipated, and Becca's expe...rtise played a crucial role in that. She provided me with clear, comprehensive information that enabled me to make informed decisions about how I wanted to proceed. Her guidance was invaluable in helping me understand my rights, allowing me to protect myself effectively throughout the process. Becca was not just a legal representative; she was a source of support and reassurance. She made sure that my interests were well-protected while keeping me focused on my goals. Her dedication to her clients is evident, and it made a significant difference in my experience. I also want to mention a friend of mine who had been struggling with her divorce for two years. After she hired Becca, she was able to have her divorce finalized by a judge in less than two months! This speaks volumes about Becca’s dedication and effectiveness. I highly recommend Becca Kennedy to anyone seeking legal assistance in a divorce. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to her clients truly set her apart. Thank you, Becca, for your outstanding service!

Exceptional Legal Representation & Value – Highly Recommend Becca Kennedy.

Becca Kennedy exemplifies excellence, professionalism, and strategic legal expertise. From the very beginning of my case, Becca demonstrated unparalleled dedication, superior work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Her attention to detail, deep legal knowledg...e, and proactive approach made an extraordinary difference throughout the process. Not only did she navigate complex international legal challenges with precision and confidence, but her ability to anticipate obstacles and develop effective strategies was truly impressive. Becca’s communication was clear, timely, and always in my best interest. I always felt supported, well-informed, and confident that my case was in the best hands. The fantastic results we achieved are a testament to Becca’s expertise and the high standards of her firm. If you are seeking a law firm that will fight for you with skill, integrity, and dedication, I wholeheartedly recommend Becca Kennedy. She is, without a doubt, a legal professional that delivers outstanding legal representation. Thank you to Becca —you are truly exceptional! Francois S.

Becca-the attorney to trust your family with

Becca and her team are simply unbelievable. Sounds counterintuitive, but I think a divorce can be the best move when a bad marriage is hurting your kids. And if you have to get divorced, you MUST use Becca if you can get in with her, or know someone that can get you in. Becca isn't the first lawye...r I had to use. I was hoping for a "collaborative" divorce but SO unexpectedly went the scorched earth route and I lost everything, truly everything. Becca and her team were the first attorneys to actually defend me, stand up for my children, and call out the other side for their unfair tactics and less than truthful moves. Becca and her team were so friendly in person I was actually a little worried they wouldn't be up to the job; I'm clearly a bad judge of character because she is an absolute force of nature. No lawyer I used ever responded to me so fast, countered the other side so adeptly, been so tough and at the same time cared to know about my kids. Whether you think you'll be blessed with a peaceful divorce, or suffer a contentious one like mine, please do the best for your children and call Becca. She can do peaceful and she can do tough. Please please don't get caught off guard by the other side. The best thing I've ever done for my children is leave a toxic marriage. The second best is hire Becca. Good luck to you.

So happy!

Becca and her team are miracle workers! They did the impossible and were efficient, speedy and thorough. I couldn't be happier with their attention to detail and their quick email responses. Very knowledgeable.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"There's no relation between me and Becca. This is the easiest AVVO endorsement I've made. The number one cost saving measure in a family law case is whether or not the opposing lawyers can get along with one another. Becca is easy to work with while at the same time she puts her client's interest before everything else. She's smart, hardworking, level-headed, and reasonable. There are soft skills in lawyering that separate good lawyers from everyone else, and Becca has it."
