Bradley R Kirk and Jacob DeVilliers

We worked with Jacob at first but when it came to trial Brad took over to my dismay, he did not follow through with anything that we gave him. I did become trustee of the Evelyn June Luna Trust, but the real property in the trust had been encumbered with an illegal loan taken out by the former trust...ee, Brad kept telling me to just pay the loan but the loan company would not work with me because the loan was a personal loan of the former trustee beneficiary. Nothing got resolved with that loan and it has cost the beneficiaries approximately 60,000. He recommended an attorney he knew to go forward with the illegal loan but that attorney Patrick L Lund had been taking clients funds and not following through which he did once again with us to the tune of$92,000. Mr. Kirk wrote up an illegal contract with us which I did not know at the time, but since have researched and found to be a voidable contract because of the writing of it. Still nothing has been resolved even though I have gone to the state bar with it.Be careful on how they write up a contingency contract with you, research how those contracts should be written up and make sure they are written up correctly because it can cost you many years and funds if it is not written up right right

Diligent, Thorough and Knowledgeable - Highly Recommend

I have worked with Mr. Kirk and his firm a number of times over the past several years. I have been consistently impressed with the quality of the representation he has provided. He has demonstrated all the traits that you hope to find in an attorney - he is very knowledgeable in his field, cares ...about his clients, works hard to get the best results and has great judgment. I highly recommend him and his firm.

Highly Recommend

Upon the sudden death of a friend, I became Executor of her Estate and Trustee of her Trust. All of the beneficiaries were out of state. I didn't know where to start, but Jacob of Bradley Kirk & Assoc helped me get organized and get through the many steps in the process to perform my duties on behal...f of the beneficiaries. He always responds to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. There was an outstanding debt due to the Estate that posed a more complicated issue, but Jacob’s experience, knowledge and communications skills continue to help me work the issue. I appreciate the integrity of Bradley Kirk & Assoc and recommend them highly. I feel I have received excellent value for the fee I've paid.

Are you looking for an excellent trial attorney?

Bradley Kirk is a joy to watch at what he does best - a trial attorney. He can judge people fast and respond appropriately on the spur of the moment. One couldn't be in better hands.

Help in a very difficult situation

What a blessing you have been to my husband and me! At a time of great need and awful insecurity due to the impending unknown, you provided the help, trust and peace we needed to believe in ourselves once again. These are not overstatements, they come from my heart. I have had dealings with attorn...eys in the past. Some of which were not positive experiences, but you and your staff were incredibly responsive, always returning my communication be it phone calls or electronic within 24 hours. Your professionalism truly reflected your training and experience in the field of probate litigation. The like mindedness of your faith was extremely comforting to us and we completely trusted you with all that we have. It is with great pleasure that I can highly recommend you to anyone who needs help with probate litigation. Again Brad, Christiaan and staff thank you so much for having been there in our time of need. May our dear Lord bless you, your families and your invaluable, one of a kind type of work.

"Although Brad is extremely knowledgeable in probate law his strengths lie his straightforward and pragmatic approach to litigation. He sees right to the heart of the problem and knows how to use the litigation process to bring out the best result possible for the client."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"By the time Brad got involved with this matter, there were 5 or 6 other attorneys sending self-serving paperwork with the court. Brad filed a simple set of paper that pinpointed the important issues, which served as an island from which the judge was able to regain control of the situation. Brad is now my top choice for probate court litigation."
