This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A sensitive and ethical attorney, always keeping my best interest in mind

I recently moved from Arizona to New York and I contacted a New York divorce attorney to handle my case. She advised me that I had to file in Arizona. She recommend several attorneys including Kiilu Davis. Kiilu is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. The AAML’s mission is “To... provide leadership that promotes the highest degree of professionalism and excellence in the practice of family law. To be represented by a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers is to be represented by a leading practitioner in the field of family law”. I came to him as a truly shattered woman after a 30 year marriage. At our first meeting, Kiilu was professional, calm, and comforting . . . understanding that for many people, a divorce is one of the most difficult things to go through in life. I explained my situation. He listened, summarized my situation and concerns and provided me with the necessary feedback confirming that he heard and understood my situation. He was also very clear with me about the divorce process, something I knew nothing about, clear about the time frame, what information that I would need to supply to him, and what I should expect throughout the challenging journey. After our first meeting I was sure that he was the right person to handle my divorce. Kiilu always spoke with me calmly and respectfully. I was extremely conflicted and afraid and he helped me sort through my emotions without "selling" me his services. He answered every question and pointed out additional issues that would never have occurred to me. He fought for me while I faced an angry and emotional husband with an extremely aggressive attorney. He nurtured me, always treating me with compassion and respect. He repaired me and helped me get through the darkest period of my life. Without hesitation, I would recommend Kiilu Davis to anyone that needed his services.

Simply an Amazing Attorney

Professionally. From the moment that I met Kiilu, I knew that he was an extra-ordinary person and attorney. He came to me highly-recommended from a friend in Tucson. He has lived up to all of those expectations, and far exceeded them. At our first meeting, Kiilu was professional, and calm, an...d comforting . . . understanding that for many people, a divorce is one of the most difficult things to go through in life, especially when it is complicated with businesses, and especially when it involves children. He was also very clear with me about the divorce process (something I knew nothing about) . . . Clear about the time frame, what information that I would need to supply to him, and what I should expect throughout the challenging journey. Integrity and Intelligence. Two qualities which Kiilu prominently possesses. Even when we were up against a less-than-scrupulous attorney, Kiilu remained true to his integrity, and honored the letter of the law. He always “crossed his T’s and dotted his I’s”. He was always one step ahead of the game. Kiilu was timely with all of his correspondence, and at all times was completely prepared for court. He impressed me with his thoroughness, knowledge, and attention to detail. I just cannot think of one negative attribute to say about Kiilu. He has a gift for his job, and I am so grateful for that gift. When I was at my weakest, he gave me strength. When I would lose faith in the system, he proved to me that, with due diligence, justice would prevail. Personally. As far as that goes, Kiilu is an amazing, genuine and strong person. He carried me through some very tough times with his levity, support and reassurance. During the process of my divorce, Kiilu went through two tragedies with me . . . A bout with colon cancer for me, and the death of my teen-age son. Two days after Max died, Kiilu was at my house. Having young sons of his own, it was the first time that I had ever seen him visibly shaken. I will never forget that act of kindness. For me, the highest professional accolade that you can give to someone is to recommend them to a close friend or a family member. Without hesitation, I would recommend Kiilu to my dearest friend or my most be-loved family member. No doubt.

Efficient, to the point, realistic expectations, minimized the drama

I recommend Mr. Davis without any hesitation for a divorce or custody issue. Efficient: My divorce was very complicated with multiple assets, businesses, etc. Completed in 9 months. Mr. Davis knows people and is a very good predictor of behavior which assists him in his efficiency. He doesn't stri...ng you along with false expectations. He stays calm and cool and always seems to be thinking 3 steps ahead. He also isn't necessarily going to clue you in on every detail, thought and process unless you ask him to. He will make sure all angles are covered but tells you what you need to hear to minimize your own personal stress. After it was all finished and I could breathe I was able to look back on all of it and realize how much his calculated strategy assisted in a successful and fair and efficient outcome. If ever I thought he missed something and asked he always seemed to have it covered already. On a more sensitive side...when I was most stressed he helped me to take a less emotional approach and remain objective and focused on the task at hand.

Child Support Modification

Kiilu was very helpful in the difficult situation of having to revisit orders. He was always straight forward and very professional. I always felt that Kiilu had my best interest and took the time to listen to all my concerns. I would highly recommend Kiilu and his staff.

Client review/recommendation

I would not recommend Kiilu Davis. He handled my divorce for 15 months. He lacks communication skills which are needed in a complicated divorce. He lacks experience to handle complicated issues, he's abrasive and self serving. I'm no further ahead after $62,000. Actually I'm worse off.
