Highly Recommend Bradley Kirk and Associates

Bradley Kirk handled my case in arbitration. He brought a binder that was 10 inches thick and passed a copy of the binder to everyone at the arbitration. The judge said that Bradley was one of the most thorough lawyers he has ever seen. Bradley had an answer for every question and referred the jud...ge and the defending lawyer to the pages in the binder for proof. We won the case quickly. Bradley and his team were knowledgeable about my case and the law. I would highly recommend him and have already to other people that I know.

highly recommend

Jacob De Villiers of Bradley Kirk and Associates was wonderful in assisting me with the probate process after the death of my mother. The most important thing was that he kept me informed and was very responsive to my emails and questions. He usually got back to me within a few hours but always by t...he next business day. He made a stressful process less stressful and for that I am grateful.

How I feel

I am joint to the hip with Mr.. Kirk and Associates. I need to find a way out of the situation that I am in with him and his firm. Lack of communication is horrible, I have had excuses after excuses, year end documentation was not and has not been sent to me. Mistakes that his firm has cost me th...ousands of dollars. I believe he is knowledgeable but is he and his firm capable?

“We are very proud that over the past ten years our firm has earned twenty-two 5-star reviews on Avvo. We invite you to read all of them. Our lead attorney, Bradley Kirk, is a certified specialist in trust and probate litigation and has tried over 100 trust/probate cases through to judgment. We are known to be a firm of tough litigators that obtain stellar results for clients in the industry's most challenging complex trust and probate litigation cases. We don’t know who posted this review in 2015 [they never contacted us before posting - and they posted anonymously], and we do not know any of our clients to have had this type of experience in working with us. We are certainly disappointed that this particular poster felt this way, but we will continue to work hard to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality legal representation available. ”

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.

My experience with Mr Kirk

It is with disbelief that I read the negative review of a client thee months ago. His experience certainly wasn't mine! I found Brad and his staff extremely responsive. All our communication i.e. Phone calls and emails were promptly returned if not the same day then the following day. I was kept i...nformed regularly and timely of any matter in relation to our case. Brad was very knowledgeable and helpful in charting a course confidently through this maze of litigation that I absolutely had no knowledge of. He believed in us and I in him. The result was that the opposing party readily accepted the proposed settlement. I am thankful to those who referred us to Brad and gladly do likewise for those who seek assistance in probate litigation. Brad always showed up in court for us saving us the stressful appearances in Los Angeles and at the required other appearances like depositions he was there without fail. For a person of faith like myself there could not have been a better advocate. Brad and Staff "Thank you so much for your expertise and assisting us in a difficult circumstance"!

"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."

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."
