About Charles
Biography
I am Charles Kelly Kilgore, an experienced trial attorney, with an excellent trial side manner.
This month Tom Kielty and I opened the 11th Hour Trial Lawyers Group in Los Angeles. We will parlay our vast trial experience into helping Business Litigators and Civil Litigators that have never tried a case, or are too busy in their practice to take a week or two off to try a case.
Retaining my Southern roots,and accent, insures a great rapport with juries, judges and even opponents.
I grew up in Kentucky, and have lived in Los Angeles, Miami, London, and Moscow. This wealth of experience allows me to draw upon vast reservoirs of information and to use that effectively in my representation.
I am the past President of the Malibu Bar Association, and am a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law, and am here to serve.

The biggest fraud attorney in California, stay away from him!!!!
I hired Kelly Kilgore to represent me in court, he would never keep an appointment to see me always with an excuse or another and when I fired him, he kept 90% of the money for doing nothing, then I took him to arbitration and again he kept canceling and making excuses, now I am taking him to small c...
Charles Kilgore
Replied last June 5, 2015This is Charles Kelly Kilgore and I am responding to Mr. Abraham's post. It has been almost one year since his post and I have reasonably calmed down since then. It is true that he hired me to represent him in a TRO brought against him by a former girlfriend. That is all a matter of public record and does not infringe any protections or confidentiality. He hired me when I was back east on a case, and wanted me at his beck and call, very nearly 24/7. I had many appointments and court appearances already docketed, and was not avaiable to meet with him when and where he demanded. I was not able to acquiesce to his dominion and control, and arranged to meet when I could. That simply was not good enough and he chose to engage another lawyer. I billed him for my time up to that point, and he was not happy with that either. We agreed to mediation, and there were times my trial schedule meant that I could not appear at a certain date and time. After the mediation, the mediator ruled that I was due some money for my time, and Mr. Abraham was due some money back. You can check the California Bar Association website, enter my name or bar number, 173520, and see if I have ever been discipline by the Bar. I haven't.

Mr. Kilgore is the Man!!!!!!!! Point blank!
Mr. Kilgore handled my sister's case. I love this Attorney because he showed so much love and compassion for his work as well as his clients. Many attorney's are in it for the money only and could really care less about the clients just as long as they win, but not Mr. Kilgore. He does this becaus...
