worth every penny

I had a highly adversarial case, where a trustee had to be removed and money recovered. It was truly a mess at every level and the firm supported me every step of the way, putting my best interests as a client first. Patient, meticulous and a ferocious advocate, I would recommend this law firm to any...one in a similar situation.

Great Attorney

Mr. Bradley (Brad) Kirk is an excellent attorney. I was very fortunate to find my way to Brad and his firm. Despite already having several legal actions on trust and elder issues brought against me in other venues, and one still pending, Brad was quickly able to master the complicated history, get ...to the heart of the legal matters, and provide invaluable guidance to me as a trustee, attorney-in-fact, and with my court accounting. Brad is an excellent communicator and is diligent, hard working, knowledgeable, creative, and smart. His (and his team's) preparation for depositions and skill during the depositions was amazing. We didn't ultimately go to trial, but Brad and his firm were thoroughly prepared to proceed. The final resolution of all matters was what I was seeking from the beginning. Along with Brad, it was also a pleasure to work with Jacob, Larissa and Christiaan. They were always professional, compassionate, honest and diligent. They went above and beyond, and I am very grateful to them.

Certified Public Accountant

Hired Attorney Kirk to remove co-trustee, who had commented elder abuse, fraud, and much worse with my Grandmothers estate. I was a hard client, and Brad did a great job. It took some time, was expensive, but worth every penny. I am grateful he was my attorney. He is straight forward, honest, and... knows how to put a case together! We went to arbitration to settle and Brad was fantastic, organized, had EVERYTHING documented, and right a his finger tips. My case was complicated and not easy, had it not been for Brad I would have lost everything.

Trust Estate Lawsuit

I was introduced to Bradley Kirk 4 yrs. ago when I, as trustee of my mother's estate, was being sued by my sister. Bradley Kirk & Associates is a finely tuned, well oiled machine that represented me brilliantly. They are very knowledgeable, professional and through in every aspect of dealing with... Trusts and Estates. Mr. Kirk is dedicated to his clients and goes that extra mile to be sure that every aspects of his representation of you is perfect. Not only was I exonerated of any misdoings; I felt vindicated and pleased that my mother's estate was settled exactly as it was written. I have never had to deal with anything like this before but I feel that I was represented by the best. I highly recommend Bradley Kirk and his team to represent you in any of your Will, Trust or Estate Planning needs.

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

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
